Gallery of more than 95 three-dimensional attractors plotted by me in MATLAB using explicit Runge—Kutta methods (in particular, the 4th order Runge—Kutta method).
A fair number of attractors I found on Jürgen Mayer's personal website, you can find references to primary sources there, so if some attractors lack references, those attractors were found there. For attractors that have been found already by me, I will leave a reference to the primary source.
The plots are also available on Pinterest and Behance:
P.S. I also plan to add 2D attractors as well as attractors in hyperdimensional spaces, but I'll probably create separate repositories because this one is exclusively 3D.
P.P.S. I give the title of attractors as the surnames of the authors of the paper where the attractor was found. For papers with a large number of authors, I take only the first 3 surnames.
