Chaotic behavior in fractional-order memristor-based simplest chaotic circuit using fourth degree polynomial

In this paper, a memristor with a fourth degree polynomial memristance function is used in the simplest chaotic circuit which has only three circuit elements: a linear passive inductor, a linear passive capacitor, and a nonlinear active memristor. We use second order exponent internal state memristor function and fourth degree polynomial memristance function to increase complexity of the chaos. So, the system can generate double-scroll attractor and four-scroll attractor. Systematic studies of chaotic behavior in the integer-order and fractional-order systems are performed using phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, and stability analysis. Simulation results show that both integer-order and fractional-order systems exhibit chaotic behavior over a range of control parameters.
