A Chaotic Time-Delay System with Saturation Nonlinearity
Complex dynamics are observed in time-delay systems because the presence of time delay could induce unexpected oscillations. Therefore, time-delay systems are effective for constructing chaotic signal generators which have used in various engineering applications. In this paper, a new system with a single scalar time delay and a saturation nonlinearity is introduced. Dynamics of such time-delay system are investigated by using phase planes, bifurcation diagrams and the maximum Lyapunov exponent with the variance of system parameters. It is interesting that the time-delay system can generate double-scroll chaotic attractors despite its elegant model. Circuitry of the system is also presented to show the feasibility of the theoretical model.
