Abstract
In this letter, a novel chaotic attractor is reported. Some basic dynamical properties, such as Lyapunov exponents,
fractal dimension, Poincare mapping, the continuous spectrum and chaotic behavior of this new transverse butterfly
attractor are studied. Meanwhile, the forming mechanism of its compound structure obtained by merging together
two simple attractors after performing one mirror operation has been investigated by detailed numerical as well as theoretical
analysis. Furthermore, the complex chaotic dynamical behavior of the system has been also proofed by experimental
simulation of a designed electronic oscillator based on EWB.
