Keywords: Lorenz Stenflo system, lower and upper bounds PACS numbers: 11.10.St, 05.45.-a, 05.45.Gg. 1 Introduction Bounded chaotic attractors and the estimate of their bounds is important in chaos control, chaos synchronization, and their applications [Chen, 1999]. Such an estimation is quite difficult to achieve technically, however. Several works on this topic were realized for some 3-D quadratic continuous-time systems [Leonov et al., 1987; Pogromsky et al., 003; Li et al., 005; Zeraoulia & Sprott, 010; and references therein]. In this letter, we find upper and lower bounds for the Lorenz Stenflo system [Stenflo, 1996] given by x σ x y) + sw y xz + rx y z xy bz w x σw 1 1)
These bounds are obtained based on multivariable function analysis concerned with locating max ima and minima. In particular, we find large regions in the bifurcation parameter space σ, r, b, s) R 4 where system 1) is bounded. The Lorenz Stenflo system 1) describes finite-amplitude, lowfrequency, short-wavelength, acoustic gravity waves in a rotational system [Stenflo, 1996]. Several results about the dynamics of system 1) have been reported in [Y u & Y ang, 1996; Y u et al., 1996; Zhou et al., 1997; Y u, 1999; Banerjee et al., 001]. In a recent paper [X avier & R ech, 010], the precise locations for pitchfork and H opf bifurcations of fix ed points were determined along with a numerical characterization of periodic and chaotic attractors. E stim a ting th e b ounds for th e L ore nz S te nfl o sy ste m To estimate the bound for the Lorenz Stenflo system 1), we consider the Lyapunov function V x, y, z, w) defined by V x, y, z, w) 1 s x +y +zr+ σ s )) +w The derivative of V along the solutions of 1) is given by d V σ d t s x y b ) z σ+rs σw + br+ σ s ). Let H x, y, z, w) x + s 4 4σs z σ+rs s ) 4s 4σs σ+rs) + w. + y br+ σ s ) 4 1. Thus to prove the boundedness of system 1), we assume that it is bounded, and then we find its bound, i.e., assume that σ, s, and b are strictly positive and r 0. Then if system 1) is bounded, the function d V x, y, z, w) has a max imum value, and the max imum point x d t 0, y 0, z 0, w 0 ) satisfies H x 0, y 0, z 0, w 0 ) 0. N ow consider the 4-D ellipsoid defined by Γ {x, y, z, w) R 4 : H x, y, z, w) 0, σ > 0, s > 0, b > 0, r 0}, and define the function F x, y, z, w) G x, y, z, w)+λh x, y, z, w), where G x, y, z, w) x + y + z + w and λ R is a finite parameter. We have max x,y,z,w) Γ G max x,y,z,w) Γ V and F br s +brsσ+4λsσ+bσ ) x x, F br s +brsσ+4λs +bσ ) y br s +brsσ+4λs σ+bσ ) w y, F r s +rsσ+4λs +σ ) +σλs) z rλs, and F z σ+rs) σ+rs) w. In this case, the H essian matrix of the function F is diagonal with the elements eigenvalues) br s +brsσ+4λsσ+bσ ), br s +brsσ+4λs +bσ ), r s +rsσ+4λs +σ ), σ+rs) and br s +brsσ+4λs σ+bσ ). Thus the scalar function F has a max imum point if all eigenvalues of the corresponding H essian matrix are strictly negative,
that is, λ < min bσ+rs), bσ+rs) 4s and 0 < σ < bs, we have bσ+rs) bs1)σ+rs) 4s σ σ+rs) 4s ) σ+rs) σ+bs) 4s σ ). If s 1, 0 < σ s,, σ+rs), bσ+rs) 4s 4s σ ) bσ+rs) bsσ)σ+rs) 4s bσ+rs) 0, and bσ+rs) 0, 4s σ ) 0. Thus λ < bσ+rs). Then the only critical point of F is sσ+rs)λ x 0 0, y 0 0, z 0, and w σ +4s λ+r s +rsσ 0 0, and hence max x,y,z,w) Γ G sσλ+rs λ σ +4s λ+r s +rsσ) f λ). In this case, there ex ists a parameterized family in λ) of bounds of system 1). We remark that for diff erent values of λ, one can get diff erent estimates for system 1). Some calculations lead to f σ+rs) λ) 4 8s λ. We have r s +rsσ+4λs +σ < 0 for all < r s +rsσ+4λs +σ ) 3 λ < bσ+rs), and hence f λ) > 0, which means that f λ) is an increasing ) sσλ+rs function, that is, lim λ λ σ +4s λ+r s +rsσ Q +σs) rs < f λ) < 16 s 4 1 4 b σ+rs) R. F inally, we have max σ+bs) x,y,z,w) Γ x + y + z + w ) < b σ+rs) 4σ+bs) R, which is the upper bound for the Lorenz Stenflo system 1). F or the other values of σ, r, b, s) R 4, the same logic applies. F inally, we have proved the following result: T h e ore m 1 T h e L oren { z S ten fl o system 1 ) is con tain ed in part of th e 4 -D } ellip soid defi n ed by Ω x, y, z, w) R 4 : Q < 1 s x +y +zr+ σ s )) +w R for all r 0, b > 0, s 1, 0 < σ s, σ < bs, an d all in itial con dition s, wh ere Q +σs) rs an d R b σ+rs). 16 s 4 4bsσ) We remark that if σ bs, then the upper bound converges to infinity. The volume of the resulting set in R 4 is 1 4 b σ+rs) σσ+rs) bsσ) 4s bsσ) > 0 since bs > σ. 3 C onclusion σ+bs) 4s σ rs +σs) 16 s 4 ) Using multivariable function analysis, we find upper and lower bounds for the Lorenz Stenflo system. In particular, we find large regions in the bifurcation parameter space where this system is bounded. 3
