Abstract
We focus on the coexistence of strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs) and a novel mixed attractor in a periodically driven three-degree-of-freedom vibro-impact system with symmetry. SNAs are characterized by the local largest Lyapunov exponent and the phase sensitivity property. The Poincaré map P is the twofold composition of a six-dimensional implicit map Q, implying the symmetry of the vibro-impact system. Since the map Q can capture two conjugate attractors, it is used to investigate the dynamics of the system. With a suitable parameter combination, the Poincaré map P of the vibro-impact system exhibits Neimark–Sacker–pitchfork (NS-P) bifurcation. It is shown that dense phase-locking regions exist in a small parameter interval near this NS-P bifurcation point. Three types of attractors alternate in this small interval: two conjugate phase-locked periodic attractors, two conjugate SNAs and a special type of mixed attractor. As the force frequency \(\omega \) is increased gradually, many phase-locking regions disappear, and the coexistence of two conjugate SNAs takes place instead, which is accompanied by a quick decrease in the width of phase-locking. If two conjugate strange nonchaotic limit sets are suddenly embedded in a chaotic one, a special mixed attractor is caused by a new intermittency accompanied by symmetry restoring bifurcation. This symmetry restoring bifurcation is the result of the collision between two conjugate strange nonchaotic limit sets and a symmetric limit set.

Appendix 1: Expressions of the integration constants \(a_i\) and \(b_i\) as the function of the initial conditions
Let the coordinates of the initial map point \(\mathbf{X}_0 \in {\varvec{\Pi }} _1 \) be \((x_{10} ,x_{20} ,y_{10} ,y_{20} ,y_{30} ,\tau _0 )\). Substituting \(t=0\) into the general solutions shown in Eq. (8), we obtain
and
Besides, since \(x_2^*-x_3^*=h\) with \(t=0\), the following relation holds:
(44), (45) and (46) generate six equations about six unknowns \(a_i \) and \(b_i \) (\(i=1, 2, 3\)). Then the integration constants \(a_i \) and \(b_i \) can be expressed as the following functions depending on the initial conditions \((x_{10} ,x_{20} ,y_{10} ,y_{20} ,y_{30} ,\tau _0 )\):
where \(\alpha _{ji} (j=1,\ldots ,5)\) and \(\beta _{ki} (k=1,\ldots ,8)\) are constants determined by system parameters.
If the initial conditions \((x_{10} ,x_{20} ,y_{10} ,y_{20} ,y_{30} ,\tau _0 )\) are replaced by \((x_1 (n),x_2 (n),y_1 (n),y_2 (n),y_3 (n),\tau (n))\), Eq. (13) is obtained.
Then we obtain the partial derivatives of the integration constants about the initial conditions \((x_{10},x_{20},y_{10},y_{20},y_{30},\tau _0)\):
Appendix 2: Expressions of Jacobi matrix
We replace the initial conditions \((x_1 (n),x_2 (n),y_1 (n),y_2 (n),y_3 (n),\tau (n))\) by \((x_{10} ,x_{20} ,y_{10} ,y_{20} ,y_{30} ,\tau _0 )\), Eq. (14) is rewritten as:
According to the implicit function theorem, we obtain
Let the Jacobi matrix \(\mathbf{J}_\mathbf{Q} (\mathbf{X}_0 )=[J_{ij} ]_{6\times 6} \). According to the expression shown in Eq. (12), \(a_{ij}\) can be computed as follows by the chain rule:
where \(\frac{\partial a_i }{\partial x_{10} }\), \(\frac{\partial a_i }{\partial x_{20} }\), \(\frac{\partial a_i }{\partial y_{10} }\), \(\frac{\partial a_i }{\partial y_{20} }\), \(\frac{\partial a_i }{y_{30} }\), \(\frac{\partial a_i }{\tau _0 }\),\(\frac{\partial b_i }{\partial x_{10} }\), \(\frac{\partial b_i }{\partial x_{20} }\), \(\frac{\partial b_i }{\partial y_{10} }\), \(\frac{\partial b_i }{\partial y_{20} }\), \(\frac{\partial b_i }{\partial y_{30} }\), \(\frac{\partial b_i }{\tau _0 }\) are shown as Eq. (44).
Appendix 3: Analytic solutions of symmetric fixed point
Let the coordinates of the symmetric fixed point X \(^{*}\) be \((x_1^*,x_2^*,y_1^*,y_2^*,y_3^*,\tau ^{*})\). For both stable and unstable cases, the coordinates of the symmetric fixed point X \(^{*}\) can be determined analytically by \(\mathbf{X}^{*}=\mathbf{Q}(\mathbf{X}^{*})\). Since \(\mathbf{Q}=\mathbf{R}^{-1}\circ \mathbf{Q}_u \), \(\mathbf{X}^{*}=\mathbf{Q}(\mathbf{X}^{*})\) means \(\mathbf{RX}^{*}=\mathbf{Q}_u (\mathbf{X}^{*})\), which implies that after \(M_3 \) impacts the right and the left stops, the associated state coordinates of map point are equal in absolute value and opposite in direction.
Let the initial time be \(t_0 =0\) after impacting at the left stop, and inserting it to Eq. (8), we obtain the coordinates \(x_i (t_0 )\) and \(y_i (t_0 )=\dot{x}_i (t_0 )(i=1,2,3)\) after impacting at the left stop. Then let the time be \(t_1 =\frac{n\pi }{\omega }\) (i.e., half of n excitation periods) where n is an odd integer, and inserting it into Eq. (8), we obtain the coordinates \(x_i (t_1 )\) and \(y_i (t_1 )=\dot{x}_i (t_1 )(i=1,2,3)\) after impacting at the right stop.
Based on \(\mathbf{RX}^{*}=\mathbf{Q}_u (\mathbf{X}^{*})\), we have
Then we obtain the following seven equations about \(\tau =\tau ^{*}\), \(a_i \) and \(b_i (i=1,2,3)\):
By elimination and simplification, we obtain the following equation about \(\tau ^{*}\):
where u and v are constants determined by the system parameters. Then \(\tau ^{*}\) can be solved as
Subsequently, inserting the expression of \(\tau ^{*}\) into Eq. (49), we obtain expressions of integration constants \(a_i \) and \(b_i \quad (i=1,2,3)\). Inserting the value of \(a_i \), \(b_i \) and \(\tau ^{*}\) into Eq. (8), and letting the time \(t=0\), we obtain the coordinates \((x_1^*,x_2^*,y_1^*,y_2^*,y_3^*,\tau ^{*})\) of the symmetric fixed point X \(^{*}\).
