ABSTRACT
Using a systematic computer search,
a simple four-dimensional chaotic flow was found that has the
unusual feature of having a plane of equilibria. Such a system
belongs to a newly introduced category of chaotic systems with
hidden attractors that are important and potentially problematic
in engineering applications.
