This Letter proposes a novel thresholding approach for creating multi-scroll chaotic
attractors. The general jerk circuit and Chua's circuit with sine nonlinearity are then used as
two representative examples to show the working principle of this method. The controlled
jerk circuit can generate various limit cycles and multi-scroll chaotic attractors by tuning the
thresholds and the width of inner threshold plateau. The dynamic mechanism of threshold
control is further explored by analyzing the system dynamical behaviors. In particular, this …
