Abstract

 

In 2009, after the discovery in the Chua's circuit a hidden chaotic attractor, new classification of attractors as being hidden or self-excited was suggested. This was the beginning of development the theory of hidden oscillations which represents the genesis of the modern era of Andronov's theory of oscillations. An attractor is called self-excited if its basin of attraction intersects with any vicinity of an equilibrium, otherwise it is called a hidden attractor. Nowadays self-excited attractors can be easily revealed numerically by numerical integration of trajectories, started in small neighbourhoods of unstable equilibria. For a hidden attractor, its basin of attraction is not connected with equilibria, and, thus, the search and visualization of hidden attractors in the phase space may be a challenging task. The classification, not only demonstrated difficulties of fundamental problems (e.g., the second part of Hilbert's 16th problem on the number and mutual disposition of limit cycles, Aizerman's and Kalman's conjecture on the monostability of nonlinear systems) and applied systems analysis, but also triggered the discovery of new hidden attractors in well-known engineering and physical models.
