In this paper, a four-dimensional hyperchaotic system is constructed by adding a state feedback controller into a chaotic system. Numerical simulations and theoretical analysis show that this four-dimensional system will take on periodic,complex periodic, quasi-periodic chaotic hyperchaotic dynamical behaviours as parameters vary. Moreover, an electronic circuit diagram is designed for demonstrating the existence of the hyperchaos. Finally, an adaptive tracking controller is proposed to acquire adaptive tracking control for this hyperchaotic system.
