Abstract: This paper introduces the dynamical behaviors of a unified nonlinear chaotic system which describes a two-family chaotic system containing the original Lorenz and the original Chua systems as two extremes and some other systems as a transition in between via a new constructed joint function. This system can display two kinds of attractors, those with one scroll and those with two scrolls.
Keywords: Unified system, double-scroll attractor, quasi-attractor, Lorenz-type attractor.
