Multi-scroll hidden attractor in memristive HR neuron model under electromagnetic radiation and its applications

This paper aims to propose a novel no-equilibrium Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron model with memristive electromagnetic radiation effect. Compared with other memristor-based HR neuron models, the uniqueness of this memristive HR neuron model is that it can generate multi-scroll hidden attractors with sophisticated topological structures and the parity of the scrolls can be controlled conveniently with changing the internal parameters of the memristor. In particular, the number of scrolls of the multi-scroll hidden attractors is also associated with the intensity of external electromagnetic radiation stimuli. The complex dynamics is numerically studied through phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, and a two-parameter diagram. Furthermore, hardware circuit experiments are carried out to demonstrate theoretical analyses and numerical simulations. From the perspective of engineering application, a pseudo-random number generator is designed. Besides, an image encryption application and security analysis are also performed. The obtained results show that the memristive HR neuron model possesses excellent randomness and high security, which is suitable for chaos-based real-world applications.

A Novel 2D – Grid of Scroll Chaotic Attractor Generated by CNN

The complex grid of scroll chaotic attractors that are generated through nonlinear electronic circuits have been raised considerably over the last decades. In this paper, it is shown that a subclass of Cellular Nonlinear Networks (CNNs) allows us to generate complex dynamics and chaos in symmetry pattern. A novel grid of scroll chaotic attractor, based on a new system, shows symmetry scrolls about the origin. Also, the equilibrium points are located in a manner such that the symmetry about the line x=y has been achieved. The complex dynamics of system can be generated using CNNs, which in turn are derived from a CNN array (1×3) cells. The paper concerns on the design and implementation of 2×2 and 3×3 2D-grid of scroll via the CNN model. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations of the derived model are included. The simulation results reveal that the grid of scroll attractors can be successfully reproduced using PSpice.

VHDL Descriptions for the FPGA Implementation of PWL-Function-Based Multi-Scroll Chaotic Oscillators

Nowadays, chaos generators are an attractive field for research and the challenge is their realization for the development of engineering applications. From more than three decades ago, chaotic oscillators have been designed using discrete electronic devices, very few with integrated circuit technology, and in this work we propose the use of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for fast prototyping. FPGA-based applications require that one be expert on programming with very-high-speed integrated circuits hardware description language (VHDL). In this manner, we detail the VHDL descriptions of chaos generators for fast prototyping from high-level programming using Python. The cases of study are three kinds of chaos generators based on piecewise-linear (PWL) functions that can be systematically augmented to generate even and odd number of scrolls. We introduce new algorithms for the VHDL description of PWL functions like saturated functions series, negative slopes and sawtooth. The generated VHDL-code is portable, reusable and open source to be synthesized in an FPGA. Finally, we show experimental results for observing 2, 10 and 30-scroll attractors.
