“…with the possibility of having two positive Lyapunov exponents along with one zero and one negative. Beginning with the pioneering work of Rössler [31], the study of hyperchaos has witnessed tremendous research interest in the last three decades, in the fields of nonlinear circuits [23,31,43,4], secure communications [1,34,21], nonlinear optics [16], control and synchronization [37,6,44], to mention a few. Due to its great potential in technological applications, the generation of hyperchaos from nonlinear systems has recently become one focal topic for research [23,37,22,33].…”
