Chaos in Jerk Dynamical Systems

This book presents an overview of jerk dynamical systems (involving time-rate of change of acceleration) which constitute an important class of time-continuous dynamical systems. It particularly deals with the various asymptotic dynamical behaviours of these systems with a special emphasis on chaotic behaviour. The recent analytical and numerical results of the bifurcation analysis, control and synchronization of chaos in these dynamical systems have also been discussed in detail.
