In this paper, an autonomous RC hyperjerk like-chaotic circuit with cubic nonlinearity is introduced and investigated. The state equations of the proposed hyperjerk chaotic circuit are described using Kirchhoff’s laws. Some fundamental properties of the system such as symmetry, dissipation, equilibrium points and stability are examined. It is found that the system has three equilibrium points which are all unstable. By varying the parameters of the system, it is revealed from numerical simulations that the system exhibits some interesting dynamics including crisis event, hysteretic dynamics (inducing the coexistence of attractors) and transient chaos. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the results of this work represent the first report on the phenomenon of transient chaos in a hyperjerk like-chaotic system and thus deserve dissemination. Hardware experiments are performed to support numerical simulations. The results from hardware experiments are in good agreement with numerical simulations.
