Abstract

In this paper, we show that "Labyrinth walks", the conservative version of "Labyrinth chaos" and member of the Thomas-R\"ossler class of systems, does not admit an autonomous Hamiltonian as a constant function in time, and as a consequence, does not admit a symplectic structure. However, it is conservative, and thus admits a vector potential, being at the same time chaotic. This exceptional set of properties makes "Labyrinth walks" an elegant example of a chaotic, conservative, non-Hamiltonian system, with only unstable stationary points in its phase space, arranged in a 3-dimensional grid. As a consequence, "Labyrinth walks", even though is a deterministic system, it exhibits motion reminiscent of fractional Brownian motion in stochastic systems!<br />Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure
