Abstract: This paper reports a new four-dimensional continuous autonomous hyperchaos generated from the Lorenz chaotic system by introducing a nonlinear state feedback controller. Some basic properties of the system are investigated by means of Lyapunov exponent spectrum and bifurcation diagrams. By numerical simulating, this paper verifies that the four-dimensional system can evolve into periodic, quasi-periodic, chaotic and hyperchaotic behaviours. And the new dynamical system is hyperchaotic in a large region. In comparison with other known hyperchaos, the two positive Lyapunov exponents of the new system are relatively more larger. Thus it has more complex degree.   

Key words: chaos, hyperchaos, four dimension chaos system, Lyapunov exponent, bifurcation diagram
