Lorenz system

The system of equations

$$\dot x=-\sigma x+\sigma y,$$

$$\dot y=rx-y-xz,$$

$$\dot z=-bz+xy.$$

It arises as the $3$-mode truncation of the two-dimensional convection equations for parallel horizontal walls at constant, but different, temperatures.

See Lorenz attractor for more details and references; see, e.g., [a2] for a picture.
