(2024), which features symmetrical attractors arising from the interplay of sinusoidal, hyperbolic, and absolute nonlinearities. The system's complex dynamics were analyzed using established numerical methods such as phase portraits, stability analysis, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponents. Furthermore, through amplitude modulation, we showed that the control parameter δ can enhance or attenuate signal amplitudes without disrupting the system's stability or chaotic nature. The theoretical findings were further validated through Multisim circuit simulations, with experimental attractors closely matching the numerical results. In addition, a Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) was implemented to approximate the chaotic trajectories of the system. The model was trained using simulated data and optimized via the least squares method. Network performance was evaluated using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and relative error. The results showed that the RBFNN accurately predicts the system's state variables, achieving MSE values on the order of 10-10–10-9 and relative error below 1.1 × 10-8.
