Nonlinear dynamics, coexistence of attractors and microcontroller implementation of a modified Helmholtz Jerk oscillator

Abstract In this work, we converted a two-dimensional modified Helmholtz oscillator into a three-dimensional modified Helmholtz jerk oscillator. The study of the stability of the fixed points is made and by using the theorem of Hopf, the condition of existence of the bifurcation of Hopf is sought. By numerical simulations relating to the diagrams of the basin of parameters, attraction, bifurcation, the Lyapunov exponents and the phase portrait, the global dynamics as well as the coexistence of the attractors of the system are analyzed. This study revealed that the considered modified Jerk Helmholtz oscillator can generate Hopf bifurcation, bistable limit cycles, coexistence of chaotic and periodic attractors for appropriate choices of system parameter values. The microcontroller based implementation of the modified Jerk Helmholtz oscillator is proposed to experimentally verify the obtained analytical and numerical results. Finally, to control the amplitude of the Lyapunov attractor and exponent, we added two new parameters in the modified Helmholtz jerk oscillator.
