Abstract
The aim of this paper is to introduce the new hyperchaotic complex Lu system. This system has complex nonlinear behavior which is studied and investigated in this work. Numerically the range of parameter values of the system at which hyperchaotic attractors exist is calculated. This new system has a whole circle of equilibria and three isolated fixed points, while the real counterpart has only three isolated ones. The stability analysis of the trivial fixed point is studied. Its dynamics is more rich in the sense that our system exhibits both chaotic and hyperchaotic attractors, as well as periodic and quasi-periodic solutions and solutions that approach fixed points. The nonlinear control method based on Lyapunov function is used to synchronize the hyperchaotic attractors. The control of these attractors is studied. Different forms of hyperchaotic complex Lu systems are constructed using the state feedback controller and complex periodic forcing.
