Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Symmetry is a common phenomenon that exists widely in nonlinear circuits. Symmetric systems exhibit an elegant solution even when symmetry is broken. Symmetry can be obtained from various regimes of polarity balance, where reflection symmetry, rotational symmetry, and inversion symmetry are common in 3D systems and even offset boosting with a variable can return conditional symmetry. Symmetric chaotic circuits yield symmetric oscillation, which can be applied in many applications involving chaos-based engineering and has attracted great attention for study.

Many symmetric systems are robust, with global basin of attraction. When symmetry is broken, a symmetric pair of coexisting attractors may burst out, providing more possibilities with desired signal of bipolar and unipolar polarities. Chaotic systems of conditional symmetry provide extra alternatives for signal generation. In this sense, the design of symmetric chaotic circuits, including memristive circuits and neuron morphological circuits, is expected for meeting the requirements of more chaos-based applications. In this Special Issue, all new findings and reports on symmetric or conditional symmetric systems and circuits are welcome.

Multiple Alternatives of Offset Boosting in a Symmetric Hyperchaotic Map

Abstract

The offset as the average value of a variable plays an important role in signal processing and system design. Offset boosting can be realized by a non-bifurcation parameter or an initial condition. In this work, symmetric coexisting attractors with opposite polarity and a 2D hyperchaotic map with multiple modes of offset boosting are proposed, where the offset can be controlled both by the initial condition and system parameter, and as a result, multiple alternatives of offset boosting and offset competition show up. Consequently, the final offset is determined eventually by the balance of two factors. The theoretical findings are verified through the hardware experiment based on the STM32. Finally, a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) is constructed based on the newly proposed hyperchaotic map, demonstrating its high performance in engineering applications. Full article

Abstract

Aiming at an entangled-chaos system with a memristor, the dynamic analysis and circuit realization are studied. Combining with the quadratic flux-controlled memristor, a memristive chaotic system is constructed, and the multistable behavior of the system when the initial value of the system changes is studied by using the system phase diagram, bifurcation diagram, and Lyapunov exponent spectrum (LE). Spectral entropy (SE), C0, and SampEn are used to describe the complexity of the memristive entanglement-chaos system. Finally, the multistable behavior of the system is realized by the digital circuit chip STM32. The experimental results are consistent with the system analysis and the numerical simulation of the MATLAB software. The experimental results of the circuit provide a foundation for the engineering application of the system. Full article

Abstract

Different forms of attractors, or basins of attraction, in chaotic systems often bring people the enjoyment of beauty. This attraction is reminiscent of ancient Chinese poetry and introduces people to a poetic and magical world, bringing them a sense of wonder and enlightenment. In this work, some cases of the beauty of chaos, including forms of symmetry, asymmetry, conditional symmetry, and extension, are demonstrated. The chaos theory of science and engineering and the art of literature are innovatively combined and integrated here. The unique charm of chaotic attractors is revealed and endowed to the artistic realm of ancient Chinese poetry, helping people to understand the poetic beauty of the chaotic world. Through bold association and imagination, chaotic attractors are endowed with fresh vitality, thus showing people a world of artistic space that is full of fantasy. Full article

Abstract

In order to reduce the circuit cost and improve the stability and flexibility of the circuit, a simplified symmetry chaotic circuit was designed and implemented by using an inverse integration circuit and a voltage follower as isolators. The change of different symmetry chaotic dynamic behaviors caused by the change of parameters can be realized by adjusting the time constant. The behavior coexistence characteristics and amplitude control characteristics under different initial conditions were verified. The results of circuit experiments are in good agreement with those of numerical simulation and theoretical analysis. This method is effective and feasible. Full article

Abstract

When studying the control problems of nonlinear systems, there are always uncertainties and disturbances. The existence of this phenomenon will increase the error in production engineering and reduce work efficiency. In order to reduce the nonlinear asymmetric control, the control method of a laser hyperchaotic system is designed in this paper. The system is a complex number system, with remarkable nonlinear characteristics. The system is divided into two parts by calculating the state transformation matrix, which shows that the system can realize simultaneous synchronization and anti-synchronization. Firstly, in the ideal case, the stabilization, synchronization, and anti-synchronization of the system are studied by using the dynamic gain feedback method, and a dynamic feedback controller is designed. Secondly, in the case of uncertainty and disturbance, a dynamic feedback control strategy based on uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE) is proposed. With the aim to solve the control problem of the system, the corresponding controller is designed to modify the system. Finally, through simulation and comparison, it is verified that the effect of this method is remarkable. Full article

Abstract

The presence of uncertainty and disturbance can lead to asymmetric control of nonlinear systems, and this asymmetric control can lead to a decrease in the productivity of the engineered system. In order to improve the control speed of the improved nonlinear system, complete synchronization and partial anti-synchronization of complex Lü chaotic systems with uncertainty and disturbance are investigated in the present paper. First, a new UDE-based dynamic feedback control method is proposed for the complete synchronization problem of the system. The method unites the dynamic gain feedback control method and the uncertainty and perturbation estimator (UDE) control method, where the dynamic gain feedback controller is used to achieve asymptotic stability of the nominal system and the UDE controller is used to handle a given controlled system with uncertainty and disturbance. Second, for the partial desynchronization problem of this system, a new UDE-based linear-like feedback control method is proposed, which consists of two controllers: a linear-like feedback controller used to achieve the asymptotic stabilization of the nominal system and the other UDE controller is designed to handle the given controlled system with uncertainty and disturbance. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to verify the correctness and stability of the theoretical results. Full article

Abstract

In this paper, a class of fractional-order symmetric hyperchaotic systems is studied based on the Adomian decomposition method. Starting from the definition of Adomian, the nonlinear term of a fractional-order five-dimensional chaotic system is decomposed. At the same time, the dynamic behavior of a fractional-order hyperchaotic system is analyzed by using bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponent spectrum, complexity and attractor phase diagrams. The simulation results show that with the decrease of fractional order q, the complexity of the hyperchaotic system increases. Finally, based on the fractional-order circuit design principle, a circuit diagram of the system is designed, and the circuit is simulated by Multisim. The results are consistent with the numerical simulation results, which show that the system can be realized, which provides a foundation for the engineering applications of fractional-order hyperchaotic systems.
