Constructing an autonomous system with infinitely many chaotic attractors.

Some classical chaotic systems such as the Lorenz system and Chua system have finite numbers of chaotic attractors. This letter develops a simple, effective method for constructing lower-dimensional autonomous systems with infinitely many chaotic attractors. As an application, a Lorenz-type system and a Rössler-type system with infinitely many chaotic attractors are constructed with bifurcation analysis, and with an extension to the fractional-order setting.
