Elegant chaos in fractional-order system without equilibria (Q459837)

Summary: A new fractional-order chaotic system with no equilibria is presented. The proposed system can be considered elegant in the sense given by \textit{J. C. Sprott} [Elegant chaos. Algebraically simple chaotic flows. Dedicated to the memory of Edward Norton Lorenz. Hackensack, NJ: World Scientific (2010; Zbl 1222.37005)], since the corresponding system equations contain very few terms and the system parameters have a minimum of digits. The chaotic dynamics are analyzed using the predictor-corrector algorithm when the fractional-order of the derivative is 0.98. Finally, the presence of chaos is validated by applying different numerical methods.
