The classical attractors of Lorenz, Rössler, Chua, Chen, and other widely-known attractors are those excited from unstable equilibria. From computational point of view this allows one to use standard numerical method, in which after transient process a trajectory, started from a point of unstable manifold in the neighborhood of equilibrium, reaches an attractor and identifies it. However there are attractors of another type: hidden attractors, a basin of attraction of which does not contain neighborhoods of equilibria. Study of hidden oscillations and attractors requires the development of new analytical and numerical methods which will be considered in this paper.
