Dynamic Effects of a MCNN-CS Under Electromagnetic Induction and Its Application

Abstract

Cellular neural network (CNN) is one of the best artificial neural network models due to its hardware implementability and many applications for image processing. The memristor-based cellular neural network (MCNN) combines the distinct benefits of memristors and neural networks, and it excels in mimicking chaotic systems under the effect of electromagnetic induction. In this work, a novel CNN chaotic system based on a flux-controlled memristor (MCNN-CS) with electromagnetic induction effects is constructed. Dynamical behaviors are examined by controlling the magnetic flux leakage strength and the intensity of the electromagnetic induction related to the memristor. Based on stability analyses and numerical simulation, forward and reverse period-doubling bifurcations, various coexisting attractors, multiperiods, chaos, several periodic windows, and chaotic crisis are observed. Besides, a number of complicated phenomena, including transient chaos, intermittent chaos, sustained chaos and bistability are also observed, demonstrating that this chaotic system has a wide range of dynamic properties. Finally, we generate pseudo-random number sequences based on this new system and apply them to image encryption. The obtained results show that this chaotic system offers superior randomness and is hence appropriate for image encryption applications.
