Abstract

Chaotic systems with hyperbolic sine nonlinearity have attracted the attention of researchers in the last two years. This paper introduces a new approach for generating a class of simple chaotic systems with hyperbolic sine. With nth-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs), any desirable order of chaotic systems with hyperbolic sine nonlinearity can be easily constructed. Fourth-order, fifth-order, and tenth-order chaotic systems are taken as examples to verify the theory. To achieve simplicity of the electrical circuit, two back-to-back diodes represent hyperbolic sine nonlinearity without any multiplier or subcircuits. Thus, these systems can achieve both physical simplicity and analytic complexity at the same time.
