Nonlinear behavior of a novel chaotic jerk system: antimonotonicity, crises, and multiple coexisting attractors

In this contribution, a novel Jerk system with a smooth piecewise quadratic nonlinearity is introduced. The new nonlinearity provides a similar smoothness as the cubic polynomial function, but a faster response and a simpler circuitry. The basic dynamical properties of the model are discussed in terms of its parameters by using standard nonlinear analysis tools including phase space trajectory plots, frequency spectra, bifurcation diagrams and...
