Sprott systems A-S

Julien Sprott's 1994 enumeration of 19 simple chaotic flows: each with quadratic or piecewise-linear nonlinearity and minimal complexity. Sprott B, C, D, … offer alternatives to Lorenz/Rössler for testing methods.

Sprott B, one of 19 algebraically minimal 3D chaotic flows (Sprott 1994).
