Anosov map

In this paper a system of three coupled nonautonomous self­oscillatory elements is studied, in which the behavior of oscillators phases on a period of the coefficients variation in the equations corresponds to the Anosov map demonstrating chaotic dynamics. Results of numerical studies allow us to conclude that the attractor of the Poincare map can be viewed as an object roughly represented by a two­dimensional torus embedded in the sixdimensional phase space of the Poincare map, on which the dynamics is the hyperbolic chaos intrinsic to Anosov’s systems.

We consider a system of three coupled non-autonomous van der Pol oscillators, in which the behavior of the phases over a characteridtic period is described approximately by the Fibonacci map with modification of the «Smale surgery», which leads to the appearance of DA-attractor («Derived from Anosov»). According to the numerical results, the attractor of the stroboscopic map is placed approximately on a two-dimensional torus embedded in the six-dimensional phase space and has transverse Cantor-like structure typical for this kind of attractrors.
