Dynamics analysis and synchronization of a new chaotic attractor

In this paper, a new simple chaotic system is discussed. Basic dynamical properties of the new attractor are demonstrated in terms of phase portraits, equilibria and stability, Lyapunov exponents, a dissipative system, Poincaré mapping, bifurcation diagram, especially Hopf bifurcation. Next, based on well-known Lyapunov stability theorem, backstepping design is proposed for synchronization of the new chaotic system. At last, numerical studies are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented scheme.
