Chaos in Analog Electronic Circuits: Comprehensive Review, Solved Problems, Open Topics and Small Example

Abstract

This paper strives to achieve a comprehensive review of chaos in analog circuits and lumped electronic networks. Readers will be guided from the beginning of the investigations of simple electronic circuits to the current trends in the research into chaos. The author tries to provide the key references related to this issue, including papers describing modern numerical algorithms capable of localizing chaotic and hyperchaotic motion in complex mathematical models, interesting full on-chip implementations of chaotic systems, possible practical applications of entropic signals, fractional-order chaotic systems and chaotic oscillators with mem-elements.
