Bridge the gap between the PWL Lorenz and PWL Chen´s system

A new piecewise-linear chaotic system family, which bridges the gap between the PWL Lorenz and newly proposed PWL Chen´s system, is introduced in this paper. The new system represents the continuous transition from the PWL Lorenz system to the PWL Chen system and is chaotic over the entire spectrum of one of the key system parameters. Some basic dynamical behaviors and its classification are also briefly described based on theoretical analysis and numerical experiments.
