We study spiral chaos in the classical Rössler and Arneodo – Coullet – Tresser systems. Special attention is paid to the analysis of bifurcation curves that correspond to the appearance of Shilnikov homoclinic loop of saddle-focus equilibrium states and, as a result, spiral chaos. To visualize the results, we use numerical methods for constructing charts of the maximal Lyapunov exponent and bifurcation diagrams obtained using the MatCont package.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
