ABSTRACT
Using a systematic computer search,
four simple chaotic flows with cubic nonlinearities were found
that have the unusual feature of having a curve of equilibria.
Such systems belong to a newly introduced category of chaotic
systems with hidden attractors that are important and
potentially problematic in engineering applications.
