The images above are strange attractors produced by systems of 3-dimensional ordinary differential equations with quadratic nonlinearities. Following a suggestion by Arne Dehli Halvorsen, they are made symmetric with respect to cyclic interchanges of x, y, and z, so that they look identical when projected on the x-y, y-z, or z-x axes. They are displayed as anaglyphs which allow their three dimensional structure to be observed by viewing them with red-blue glasses. The 11-character code in the upper left corner of each image contains the coefficients required to replicate the image using a scheme described in the book Strange Attractors: Creating Patterns in Chaos. Also included is the Power BASIC source code SYMMETRY.BAS and DOS executable code SYMMETRY.EXE used to search for and display these images. See also a related technical note on symmetric chaotic flows. The images are copyrighted by J. C. Sprott. You may download them for your personal use. You may distribute them for non-commercial purposes, provided their source is acknowledged. Permission is required if you wish to use them for commercial purposes. You can also view them in slide show format.
