The dynamics of a memristor-based Rulkov neuron with fractional-order difference

The exploration of the memristor model in the discrete domain is a fascinating hotspot. The electromagnetic induction on neurons has also begun to be simulated by some discrete memristors. However, most of the current investigations are based on the integer-order discrete memristor, and there are relatively few studies on the form of fractional order. In this paper, a new fractional-order discrete memristor model with prominent nonlinearity is constructed based on the Caputo fractional-order difference operator. Furthermore, the dynamical behaviors of the Rulkov neuron under electromagnetic radiation are simulated by introducing the proposed discrete memristor. The integer-order and fractional-order peculiarities of the system are analyzed through the bifurcation graph, the Lyapunov exponential spectrum, and the iterative graph. The results demonstrate that the fractional-order system has more abundant dynamics than the integer one, such as hyper-chaos, multi-stable and transient chaos. In addition, the complexity of the system in the fractional form is evaluated by the means of the spectral entropy complexity algorithm and consequences show that it is affected by the order of the fractional system. The feature of fractional difference lays the foundation for further research and application of the discrete memristor and the neuron map in the future.     

Detecting chaos in fractional-order nonlinear systems using the smaller alignment index

The identification between chaos and ordered states in fractional-order chaotic systems is a challenge as well as a hot topic due to the complex of fractional calculus. In this paper, the smaller alignment index (SALI) is developed to detect chaos in the fractional-order chaotic systems by introducing the fractional-order tangent systems. Numerical simulations are carried out based on the fractional-order simplified Lorenz system and the fractional-order Hénon map, which are continuous chaotic system and discrete chaotic system, respectively. It shows that the proposed method is effective for distinguishing chaos and order in different kinds of fractional-order chaotic systems.

Hidden attractors in a new fractional–order discrete system: Chaos,complexity, entropy, and control

This paper studies the dynamics of a new fractional-order discrete system based on the Caputo-like difference operator.This is the first study to explore a three-dimensional fractional-order discrete chaotic system without equilibrium. Through phase portrait, bifurcation diagrams, and largest Lyapunov exponents, it is shown that the proposed fractional-order discrete system exhibits a range of different dynamical behaviors. Also, different tests are used to confirm the existence of chaos,such as 0–1 test and C0 complexity. In addition, the quantification of the level of chaos in the new fractional-order discrete system is measured by the approximate entropy technique. Furthermore, based on the fractional linearization method, a one-dimensional controller to stabilize the new system is proposed. Numerical results are presented to validate the findings of the paper.     

A mathematical analysis: From memristor to fracmemristor

The memristor is also a basic electronic component, just like resistors, capacitors and inductors. It is a nonlinear device with memory characteristics. In 2008, with HP's announcement of the discovery of the TiO₂ memristor, the new memristor system, memory capacitor (memcapacitor) and memory inductor (meminductor) were derived. Fractional-order calculus has the characteristics of non-locality, weak singularity and long term memory which traditional integer-order calculus does not have, and can accurately portray or model real-world problems better than the classic integer-order calculus. In recent years, researchers have extended the modeling method of memristor by fractional calculus, and proposed the fractional-order memristor, but its concept is not unified. This paper reviews the existing memristive elements, including integer-order memristor systems and fractional-order memristor systems. We analyze their similarities and differences, give the derivation process, circuit schematic diagrams, and an outlook on the development direction of fractional-order memristive elements.     

A novel hyperchaotic map with sine chaotification and discrete memristor

Discrete memristor has become a hotspot since it was proposed recently. However, the design of chaotic maps based on discrete memristor is in its early research stage. In this paper, a memristive seed chaotic map is proposed by combining a quadratic discrete memristor with the sine function. Furthermore, by applying the chaotification method, we obtain a high-dimensional chaotic map. Numerical analysis shows that it can generate hyperchaos. With the increase of cascade times, the generated map has more positive Lyapunov exponents and larger hyperchaotic range. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) test results show that the chaotic pseudo-random sequence generated by cascading two seed maps has good unpredictability, and it indicates the potential in practical application.

Thirdly, complex dynamics of the novel system are analyzed using phase diagram, Lyapunov exponential spectrum, bifurcation diagram, basin of attractor, and coexisting bifurcation, coexisting attractors are observed. All of these results indicate that this simple system contains the abundant dynamic characteristics. Moreover, transient transition behaviors of the system are analyzed, and it is found that the behaviors of transient chaotic and transient period transition alternately occur. Finally, the hardware implementation of the fractional-order bi-stable locally-active memristive chaotic system using ARM-based STM32F750 is carried out to verify the numerical simulation results.

Firing activities in a fractional-order Hindmarsh-Rose neuron with multistable memristor as autapse

Considering the fact that memristors have the characteristics similar to biological synapses, a fractional-order multistable memristor is proposed in this paper. It is verified that the fractional-order memristor has multiple local active regions and multiple stable hysteresis loops, and the influence of fractional-order on its nonvolatility is also revealed. Then by considering the fractional-order memristor as an autapse of Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron model, a fractional-order memristive neuron model is developed. The effects of the initial value, external excitation current, coupling strength and fractional-order on the firing behavior are discussed by time series, phase diagram, Lyapunov exponent and inter spike interval (ISI) bifurcation diagram. Three coexisting firing patterns, including irregular asymptotically periodic (A-periodic) bursting, A-periodic bursting and chaotic bursting, dependent on the memristor initial values, are observed. It is also revealed that the fractional-order can not only induce the transition of firing patterns, but also change the firing frequency of the neuron. Finally, a neuron circuit with variable fractional-order is designed to verify the numerical simulations.

Discrete Memristor and Discrete Memristive Systems

In this paper, we investigate the mathematical models of discrete memristors based on Caputo fractional difference and G–L fractional difference. Specifically, the integer-order discrete memristor is a special model of those two cases. The “∞”-type hysteresis loop curves are observed when input is the bipolar periodic signal. Meanwhile, numerical analysis results show that the area of hysteresis decreases with the increase of frequency of input signal and the decrease of derivative order. Moreover, the memory effect, characteristics and physical realization of the discrete memristors are discussed, and a discrete memristor with short memory effects is designed. Furthermore, discrete memristive systems are designed by introducing the fractional-order discrete memristor and integer-order discrete memristor to the Sine map. Chaos is found in the systems, and complexity of the systems is controlled by the parameter of the memristor. Finally, FPGA digital circuit implementation is carried out for the integer-order and fractional-order discrete memristor and discrete memristive systems, which shows the potential application value of the discrete memristor in the engineering application field.

This paper presents a new compound synchronisation scheme among four hyperchaotic memristor system with incommensurate fractional-order derivatives. First a new controller was designed based on adaptive technique to minimise the errors and guarantee compound synchronisation of four fractional-order memristor chaotic systems. According to the suitability of compound synchronisation as a reliable solution for secure communication, we then examined the application of the proposed adaptive compound synchronisation scheme in the presence of noise for secure communication. In addition, the unpredictability and complexity of the drive systems enhance the security of secure communication. The corresponding theoretical analysis and results of simulation validated the effectiveness of the proposed synchronisation scheme using MATLAB.     

Double image encryption based on discrete multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform and chaotic maps

A double image encryption method is proposed by utilizing discrete multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform and chaotic maps. One of the two original images scrambled by one chaotic map is encoded into the amplitude of a complex signal with the other original image as its phase. The complex signal multiplied by another chaotic random phase mask is then encrypted by discrete multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform. The parameters in chaotic map and discrete multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform serve as the keys of this encryption scheme. Numerical simulations have been done to demonstrate the performance of this algorithm.     

Cascade discrete memristive maps for enhancing chaos

Continuous-time memristor (CM) has been widely used to generate chaotic oscillations. However, discrete memristor (DM) has not been received adequate attention. Motivated by the cascade structure in electronic circuits, this paper introduces a method to cascade discrete memristive maps for generating chaos and hyperchaos. For a discrete-memristor seed map, it can be self-cascaded many times to get more parameters and complex structures, but with larger chaotic areas and Lyapunov exponents. Comparisons of dynamic characteristics between the seed map and cascading maps are explored. Meanwhile, numerical simulation results are verified by the hardware implementation.
