Templates and subtemplates of Rössler attractors from a bifurcation diagram

Abstract

We study the bifurcation diagram of the Rössler system. It displays the various dynamical regimes of the system (stable or chaotic) when a parameter is varied. We choose a diagram that exhibits coexisting attractors and banded chaos. We use the topological characterization method to study these attractors. Then, we details how the templates of these attractors are subtemplates of a unique template. Our main result is that only one template describe the topological structure of height attractors. This leads to a topological partition of the bifurcation diagram that gives the symbolic dynamic of all bifurcation diagram attractors with a unique template.
