Abstract
We investigate a scenario for the creation of irregular chaotic attractors in Chua’s system. We show that irregular attractors in Chua’s system are created by those and only those mechanisms that characterize Lorenz, Rössler, and other dissipative nonlinear systems described by ordinary differential equations. These mechanisms include cascades of Feigenbaum period doubling bifurcations, subharmonic cascades of cycle bifurcations in Sharkovskii’s order, and homoclinic cascades of bifurcations.
