Controlling a unified chaotic system to hyperchaotic

This brief presents a simple technique using a sinusoidal parameter perturbation control input to drive a unified chaotic system to hyperchaotic. The original chaotic system is a three-dimensional autonomous system that has a broad spectrum of chaotic behaviors with the Lorenz and the Chen systems as two extremes of the spectrum. The control input is a simple sinusoidal function cos(/spl omega/t) with a constant parameter /spl omega/. The hyperchaotic system is not only demonstrated by computer simulations but also verified with bifurcation analysis and implemented via an electronic circuit.
