We show that bifurcations of periodic orbits with multipliers $(-1,i,-i)$ can lead to the birth of pseudohyperbolic (i.e., robustly chaotic) Lorenz-like attractors of three different types: one is a discrete analogue of the classical Lorenz…
We study bifurcations of a symmetric equilibrium state in systems of differential equations invariant with respect to a $\mathbb{Z}_4$-symmetry. We prove that if the equilibrium state has a triple zero eigenvalue, then pseudohyperbolic…
In the present paper we focus on the problem of the existence of strange pseudohyperbolic attractors for three-dimensional diffeomorphisms. Such attractors are genuine strange attractors in that sense that each orbit in the attractor has a…
This work contains the results from a comprehensive study of a new class of attractors. The attractors in this class are characterized by strong local instability, but they are not uniformly hyperbolic. Rigorous results on their dynamical,…
In this paper we present a comprehensive mechanism for the emergence of strange attractors in a two-parametric family of differential equations acting on a three-dimensional sphere. When both parameters are zero, its flow exhibits an…
We study geometrical and dynamical properties of the so-called discrete Lorenz-like attractors, that can be observed in three-dimensional diffeomorphisms. We propose new phenomenological scenarios of their appearance in one parameter…
In this paper, we explore the three-dimensional chaotic set near a homoclinic cycle to a hyperbolic bifocus at which the vector field has negative divergence. If the invariant manifolds of the bifocus satisfy a non-degeneracy condition, a…
We present a mechanism for the emergence of strange attractors (observable chaos) in a two-parameter periodically-perturbed family of differential equations on the plane. The two parameters are independent and act on different ways in the…
Formation or destruction of hyperbolic chaotic attractor under parameter variation is considered with an example represented by Smale--Williams solenoid in stroboscopic Poincar\'{e} map of two alternately excited non-autonomous van der Pol…
We consider a certain three-dimensional piecewise linear system of Lorenz type in the cases of positive and negative saddle value, which is the sum of two eigenvalues of the saddle nearest to zero. This system was recently proposed and…
The paper deals with topical issues of modern mathematical theory of dynamical chaos and its applications. At present, it is customary to assume that dynamical chaos in finitedimensional smooth systems can exist in three different forms.…
We propose a general mechanism by which strange non-chaotic attractors (SNA) are created during the collision of invariant curves in quasiperiodically forced systems. This mechanism is first discussed on an heuristic level and by means of…
We present an example of a new strange attractor which, as we show, belongs to a class of wild pseudohyperbolic spiral attractors. We find this attractor in a four-dimensional system of differential equations which can be represented as an…
We study the geometric and topological properties of strange non-chaotic attractors created in non-smooth saddle-node bifurcations of quasiperiodically forced interval maps. By interpreting the attractors as limit objects of the iterates of…
Non-smooth saddle-node bifurcations give rise to minimal sets of interesting geometry built of so-called strange non-chaotic attractors. We show that certain families of quasiperiodically driven logistic differential equations undergo a…
A simple and transparent example of a non-autonomous flow system, with hyperbolic strange attractor is suggested. The system is constructed on a basis of two coupled van der Pol oscillators, the characteristic frequencies differ twice, and…
We consider an autonomous system of partial differential equations for one-dimensional distributed medium with periodic boundary conditions. Dynamics in time consists of alternating birth and death of patterns with spatial phases…
Lorenz attractors are important objects in the modern theory of chaos. The reason from one side is that they are met in various natural applications (fluid dynamics, mechanics, laser dynamics, etc.). At the same time, Lorenz attractors are…
We study the peculiarities of spiral attractors in the Rosenzweig-MacArthur model, that describes dynamics in a food chain "prey-predator-superpredator". It is well-known that spiral attractors having a "teacup" geometry are typical for…
Aperiodic dynamics which is nonchaotic is realized on Strange Nonchaotic attractors (SNAs). Such attractors are generic in quasiperiodically driven nonlinear systems, and like strange attractors, are geometrically fractal. The largest…
