Recently a concept of self-excited and hidden attractors was suggested: an attractor is called a self-excited attractor if its basin of attraction overlaps with neighborhood of an equilibrium, otherwise it is called a hidden attractor. For example, hidden attractors are attractors in systems with no equilibria or with only one stable equilibrium (a special case of multistability and coexistence of attractors). While coexisting self-excited attractors can be found using the standard computational procedure, there is no standard way of predicting the existence or coexistence of hidden attractors in a system. In this plenary survey lecture the concept of self-excited and hidden attractors is discussed, and various corresponding examples of self-excited and hidden attractors are considered. The material is mostly based on surveys [1-4].1 Analytical-numerical study of oscillations An oscillation dynamical system can generally be easily numerically localized if the initial data from its open neighborhood in the phase space (with the exception of a minor set of points) lead to a long-term behavior that approaches the oscillation. Such an oscillation (or a set of oscillations) is called an attractor, and its attracting set is called the basin of attraction (i.e., a set of initial data for which the trajectories tend to the attractor).When the theories of dynamical systems, oscillations, and chaos were first developed researchers mainly focused on analyzing equilibria stability, which can be easily done numerically or analytically, and on the birth of periodic or chaotic attractors from unstable equilibria.
