The Ejs Poincare model computes the solutions to the set of non-linear equations, x' = x (a - b + z + d (1-z²)) - c y,  y' = y (a - b + z + d (1-z²)) + c x, z' = a z - (x² + y² + z²), where each prime denotes a time derivative.  The simulation displays a three-dimensional plot of the trajectory of the oscillator and a projection on the plane where y = 0.  The evolution parameters can be changed via textboxes.  You can modify this simulation if you have Ejs installed by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.  

Ejs Poincare model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (Ejs) modeling tool.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.  Double clicking the ejs_ehu_chaos_Poincare.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.  Ejs is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is designed to make it easier to access, modify, and generate computer models.  Additional Ejs models for non-linear dynamics and chaos are available.  They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or Ejs.
