Rossler Attractor with parameter c varried:

The Rossler attractor is plotted with a=0.398, b=2.0 and c varried from 2 to 14. Researcher Nicola Romanazzi notes that the return map for this attractor for values of c=5.6, 6.4, and 8.8 show many branches implying perestroika. The code used to compose this animation is here and here. The integration of the Rossler uses Numerical Recipes' rk4 routine and can be adapted otherwise. The animation process is not efficient and OpenGL is suggested otherwise. The plotting program (gnuplot) was allowed to adapt the displayed x, y, and z axis since the attractor grows with c.
