Flux-Charge Analysis of Initial State-Dependent Dynamical Behaviors of a Memristor Emulator-Based Chua’s Circuit

Abstract

It is known that dynamical behaviors of memristive circuit are significantly affected by its initial states, which are difficult to be explicitly analyzed or controlled in voltage–current domain and have become great obstacles for its potential engineering applications. In this paper, the complex initial state-dependent dynamical behaviors of a physically realized memristive Chua’s circuit are detailed and investigated using incremental flux-charge modeling method. This circuit is modeled in terms of incremental flux and charge, in which the original line equilibrium point is converted into some determined equilibrium points relying on the initial states of the dynamic elements. Moreover, the special initial state-dependent behaviors are transformed into system parameter-associated behaviors. Consequently, the detailed influences of each initial state, even the occurrence of hidden oscillations, can readily be theoretically interpreted. Finally, the initial state-dependent behaviors are physically captured and directed in the equivalent realization circuit of the incremental flux-charge model.
