title: Design of multidirectional multiscroll chaotic attractors based on fractional differential systems via switching control.
abstract: This paper proposes a saturated function series approach for generating multiscroll chaotic attractors from the fractional differential systems, including one-directional (1-D) n-scroll, two-directional (2-D) nxm-grid scroll, and three-directional (3-D) nxmxl-grid scroll chaotic attractors. Our theoretical analysis shows that all scrolls are located around the equilibria corresponding to the saturated plateaus of the saturated function series on a line in the 1-D case, a plane in the 2-D case, and a three-dimensional space in the 3-D case, respectively. In particular, each saturated plateau corresponds to a unique equilibrium and its unique scroll of the whole attractor. In addition, the number of scrolls is equal to the number of saturated plateaus in the saturated function series. Finally, some underlying dynamical mechanisms are then further investigated for the fractional differential multiscroll systems.
