Chaotic dynamical systems that are symmetric provide the possibility of multistability as well as an independent amplitude control parameter.The Rössler system is used as a candidate for demonstrating the symmetry construction since it is an asymmetric system with a single-scroll attractor. Through the design of symmetric Rössler systems, a symmetric pair of coexisting strange attractors are produced, along with the desired partial or total amplitude control.
