Dynamics, implementation and stability of a chaotic system with coexistence of hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic equilibria

Hyperbolic-type equilibrium requires that all the real parts of the corresponding eigenvalues are nonzero. In this paper, a three-dimensional autonomous chaotic system is introduced, and interestingly we find that one non-hyperbolic equilibrium point and two hyperbolic equilibrium points coexist in this system, which, according to the information we know, has not been previously reported. We first reveal the basic dynamics of the system through analyzing phase portrait, frequency spectrum, Poincaré map, bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponent. Then, based on the idea of the improved modular technology, we build an analog circuit to realize the chaotic system, which further verifies the theoretical results. Finally, we design a simple feedback controller on account of Lyapunov asymptotic stability theory, to globally suppress the system to its equilibrium points.
