Constructing Chaotic Systems with Total Amplitude Control

A general method is introduced for controlling the amplitude of the variables in chaotic systems by modifying the degree of one or more of the terms in the governing equations. The method is applied to the Sprott B system as an example to show its flexibility and generality. The method may introduce infinite lines of equilibrium points, which influence the dynamics in the neighborhood of the equilibria and reorganize the basins of attraction, altering the multistability. However, the isolated equilibrium points of the original system and their stability are retained with their basic properties. Electrical circuit implementation shows the convenience of amplitude control, and the resulting oscillations agree well with results from simulation.
