Chaos in a Meminductor-Based Circuit

A smooth curve model of meminductor and its equivalent circuit have been designed, on the condition that the meminductor is commonly unavailable. The equivalent circuit can be used for breadboard experiments for various application circuit designs of meminductor. Based on the meminductor, a new chaotic oscillator is proposed. The dynamical behaviors of the oscillator are investigated, including equilibrium set, Lyapunov exponent spectrum, bifurcations and dynamical map of the system. Particularly, the amplitude controlling is analyzed and coexisting attractors are found for conditions of different parameters. Furthermore, the experimental results are given to confirm the correction of the proposed meminductor model and the meminductor-based oscillator.
