We propose a method for designing chaos generators. We introduce a switched system with three-dimensional space functions for generating a new type of chaotic attractor, and then we introduce saturated function series for generating n-scroll chaotic attractor. Moreover, we present some examples with numerical simulations that illustrate the efficiency of our method. The statistic behavior is also discussed, which reveals the regularities in the complex dynamics. 1. Introduction Chaos is a very interesting nonlinear phenomenon, which has been extensively investigated during the last four decades. Since the 1960s, many chaotic strange attractors in dynamical systems have been found numerically and experimentally 1–3, such as Lorenz attractor 4, Rossler attractor 5, and Chua’s attractor 6–11. This proved that pursuing systems that can ¨ exhibit chaos in form of chaotic attractors is very helpful in understanding complex behavior o
