Abstract

The chaotic dynamics from a nonlinear electronic circuit is shown to exhibit the universal topological structure of maps on an annulus. This suggests that the corresponding universality class is large enough to include physical systems. We suggest that low-dimensional strange attractors fall into a few classes, each characterized by distinct universal topological features.
