Memcapacitor model and its application in a chaotic oscillator

A memcapacitor is a new type of memory capacitor. Before the advent of practical memcapacitor, the prospective studies on its models and potential applications are of importance. For this purpose, we establish a mathematical memcapacitor model and a corresponding circuit model. As a potential application, based on the model, a memcapacitor oscillator is designed, with its basic dynamic characteristics analyzed theoretically and experimentally. Some circuit variables such as charge, flux, and integral of charge, which are difficult to measure, are observed and measured via simulations and experiments. Analysis results show that besides the typical period-doubling bifurcations and period-3 windows, sustained chaos with constant Lyapunov exponents occurs. Moreover, this oscillator also exhibits abrupt chaos and some novel bifurcations.In addition, based on the digital signal processing(DSP) technology, a scheme of digitally realizing this memcapacitor oscillator is provided. Then the statistical properties of the chaotic sequences generated from the oscillator are tested by using the test suit of the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST). The tested randomness definitely reaches the standards of NIST, and is better than that of the well-known Lorenz system.

A flux-controlled model of meminductor and its application in chaotic oscillator

A meminductor is a new type of memory device developed from the memristor.We present a mathematical model of a flux-controlled meminductor and its equivalent circuit model for exploring the properties of the meminductor in a nonlinear circuit.We explore the response characteristics of the meminductor under the exciting signals of sinusoidal,square,and triangular waves by using theoretical analysis and experimental tests,and design a meminductor-based oscillator based on the model.Theoretical analysis and experiments show that the meminductor-based oscillator possesses complex bifurcation behaviors and can generate periodic and chaotic oscillations.A special phenomenon called the co-existent oscillation that can generate multiple oscillations(such as chaotic,periodic oscillations as well as stable equilibrium) with the same parameters and different initial conditions occurs.We also design an analog circuit to realize the meminductor-based oscillator,and the circuit experiment results are in accordance with the theory analysis.
