Abstract

This paper presents a novel six-dimensional (6D) chaotic dynamic system with a simple structure consisting of thirteen terms, including absolute value and hyperbolic tangent functions. The new 6D system, which lacks equilibrium points, exhibits hidden attractors and displays a range of dynamic behaviors such as chaotic, chaotic 2-torus, and hyperchaotic states. A comprehensive dynamical analysis is conducted, featuring bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, Kaplan-Yorke dimensions, multistability, and offset boosting control. The proposed system, despite its structural simplicity, exhibits intricate chaotic dynamics, making it suitable for various practical applications.
