Multistability in a physical memristor-based modified Chua's circuit.

A physical SrBaTiO memristor-based modified Chua's circuit is proposed, which is studied in this paper by means of both theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. The stability of this memristor-based modified Chua's circuit is analyzed. A systematic investigation of the dynamic behaviors and their dependence on the initial states and circuit parameters is performed, presenting the Lyapunov exponents spectra, bifurcation diagrams, phase diagrams, and Poincaré maps. The circuit emerges multiple dynamic behaviors, including stable points, periodic cycles, chaos, and some transient chaos. Specifically, the system has multistability, i.e., coexisting periods and coexisting chaotic attractors with the change of initial states and circuit parameters. This study is conducive to the subsequent design and analysis of memristor-based circuits for potential practical applications.
