Simplest driven conservative chaotic oscillator
Abstract
Sinusoidally driven oscillator equations with a power-law nonlinearity are investigated computationally to determine the driving frequency which produces the "most chaos", i.e., the maximized largest Lyapunov exponent. It is argued that the "simplest" such driven chaotic oscillator has a cubic nonlinearity x3.
