Scenarios for the Creation of Hyperchaotic Attractors of 3D Maps (2012.05099v2)
Abstract: We study bifurcation mechanisms for the appearance of hyperchaotic attractors in three-dimensional diffeomorphisms, i.e., such attractors whose orbits have two positive Lyapunov exponents in numerical experiments. In order to possess this property periodic orbits belonging to the attractor should have two-dimensional unstable invariant manifolds. For realization of this possibility, we propose several bifurcation scenarios that include cascades of both supercritical period-doubling bifurcations with saddle periodic orbits and supercritical Neimark-Sacker bifurcations with stable periodic orbits, as well as various combinations of these cascades. In the paper, these scenarios are illustrated by an example of the three-dimensional Mir\'a map.
