【 摘 要 】

The boundedness of chaotic systems plays an important role in investigating the stability of the equilibrium, estimating the Lyapunov dimension of attractors, the Hausdorff dimension of attractors, the existence of periodic solutions, chaos control, and chaos synchronization. However, as far as the authors know, there are only a few papers dealing with bounds of high-order chaotic systems due to their complex algebraic structure. To sort this out, in this paper, we study the bounds of a high-order Lorenz-Stenflo system arising in mathematical physics. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, we show that there exists a globally exponential attractive set for this system. The innovation of the paper is that we not only prove that this system is globally bounded for all the parameters, but also give a family of mathematical expressions of global exponential attractive sets of this system with respect to its parameters. We also study some other dynamical characteristics of this chaotic system such as invariant sets and chaotic behaviors. To justify the theoretical analysis, we carry out detailed numerical simulations.
