Abstract

An electronic circuit realization of a modified Lorenz system, which is multiplier-free, is described. The well-known butterfly chaotic attractor is experimentally observed verifying that the proposed modified system does capture the essential dynamics of the original Lorenz system. Furthermore, we clarify that the butterfly attractor is a compound structure obtained by merging together two simple attractors after performing one mirror operation.
