Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new hyperchaotic complex Chen model. This hyperchaotic complex system is constructed by adding a complex nonlinear term to the third equation of the chaotic complex Chen system with consideration it's all variables are complex. The new system is a 6-dimensional continuous real autonomous hyperchaotic system. The properties of this system including invariance, dissipation, equilibria and their stability, Lyapunov exponents, Lyapunov dimension, bifurcation diagrams and hyperchaotic behavior are studied. Different forms of hyperchaotic complex Chen systems are constructed. We suppress the hyperchaotic behavior of our system via passive control method by using one complex controller. The hyperchaotic attractors of the new system are converted to its unstable trivial fixed point and tracked to its unstable non trivial fixed points and periodic orbits. Block diagrams of our system are designed by using Matlab/Simulink after and before the suppression process to ensure the validity of the analytical results. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
