Abstract
In this research work, we announce a six-term novel 3-D dissipative chaotic system with two quadratic nonlinearities. First, this work describes the dynamic equations and qualitative properties of the novel chaotic system. We show that the novel chaotic system has three unstable equilibrium points. We also show that the novel chaotic system has a rotation symmetry about the x(3) axis. The Lyapunov exponents of the novel chaotic system are obtained as L-1 = 1.2334, L-2 = 0 and L-3 = -4.7329. Since the sum of the Lyapunov exponents is negative, the novel chaotic system is dissipative. Also, the Kaplan-Yorke dimension of the novel chaotic system is derived as D-KY = 2.2606. Next, this work describes the active synchronization of identical novel chaotic systems with known parameters. Furthermore, this work describes the adaptive synchronization of identical novel chaotic systems with unknown parameters. Both the active and adaptive synchronization results are established using Lyapunov stability theory. MATLAB simulations are depicted to illustrate all the main results derived in this work for the six-term novel 3-D novel chaotic system.
