Using the Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion and a systematic computer search, 23 simple chaotic flows with quadratic nonlinearities were found that have the unusual feature of having a coexisting stable equilibrium point. Such systems belong to a newly introduced category of chaotic systems with hidden attractors that are important and potentially problematic in engineering applications.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which was firstly reported in China, has affected many countries worldwide. To understand and predict the transmission dynamics of this disease, mathematical models can be very effective. It has been shown that the fractional order is related to the memory effects, which seems to be more effective for modeling the epidemic diseases.

This paper introduces a new no-equilibrium chaotic system that is constructed by adding a tiny perturbation to a simple chaotic flow having a line equilibrium. The dynamics of the proposed system are investigated through Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagram, Poincaré map and period-doubling route to chaos. A circuit realization is also represented. Moreover, two other new chaotic systems without equilibria are also proposed by applying the presented methodology.

In this comment, an enhancement of issue published in the paper "Coexistence of hidden chaotic attractors in a novel no-equilibrium system" (Nonlinear Dyn, doi:10.1007/s11071-016-3170-x) is addressed. We have shown that the proposed novel autonomous chaotic system can be extended to its fractional-order version where hidden attractors as well as other dynam-ical properties of the new no-equilibrium system can be observed. A created MATLAB function for the new fractional-order no-equilibrium system is also presented .

Chaotic systems without equilibrium are of interest because they are the systems with hidden attractors. A nonequilibrium system with chaos is introduced in this work. Chaotic behavior of the system is verified by phase portraits, Lyapunov exponents, and entropy. We have implemented a real electronic circuit of the system and reported experimental results. By using this new chaotic system, we have constructed S-boxes which are applied to propose a novel image encryption algorithm. In the designed encryption algorithm, three S-boxes with strong cryptographic properties are used for the sub-byte operation. Particularly, the S-box for the sub-byte process is selected randomly. In addition, performance analyses of S-boxes and security analyses of the encryption processes have been presented.
