First, this paper introduces a seven-term novel 3-D chaotic system and discusses its qualitative properties. The proposed system is a seven-term novel polynomial chaotic system with three quadratic nonlinearities. The Lyapunov exponents of the novel chaotic system are obtained as L1 = 3.3226, L2 = 0 and L3 = –30.3406. The maximal Lyapunov exponent (MLE) for the novel chaotic system is obtained ...
