Resumo

The nonlinear dynamics of a recently derived generalized Lorenz model [Macek & Strumik, 2010] of magnetoconvection is studied. A bifurcation diagram is constructed as a function of the Rayleigh number where attractors and nonattracting chaotic sets coexist inside a periodic window. The nonattracting chaotic sets, also called chaotic saddles, are responsible for fractal basin boundaries with a fractal dimension near the dimension of the phase space, which causes the presence of very long chaotic transients. It is shown that the chaotic saddles can be used to infer properties of chaotic attractors outside the periodic window, such as their maximum Lyapunov exponent. (AU)
