The Chua Corsage Memristor is the simplest example of a passive but locally active memristor endowed with two asymptotically stable equilibrium points [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] when powered by an E-volt battery, where [Formula: see text]. The basin of attraction is defined by [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. By adding an inductor of appropriate value [Formula: see text] in series with the battery, the resulting circuit undergoes a supercritical Hopf bifurcation and becomes an oscillator for [Formula: see text]. Applying a sinusoidal voltage source [Formula: see text] across the Chua corsage memristor, one finds two distinct coexisting stable periodic responses, depicted by their associated pinched hysteresis loops, of the same frequency [Formula: see text] whose basin of attraction is defined by [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], respectively, where [Formula: see text] depends on both amplitude A and frequency f. An in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the above global nonlinear phenomena is presented using tools from nonlinear circuit theory, such as Chua’s dynamic route method, and from nonlinear dynamics, such as phase portrait analysis and bifurcation theory.
This paper presents a detailed analysis of various oscillatory behaviors observed in relation to the calcium and potassium ions in the third-order Morris–Lecar model of giant barnacle muscle fiber. Since, both the calcium and potassium ions exhibit all of the characteristics of memristor fingerprints, we claim that the time-varying calcium and potassium ions in the third-order Morris–Lecar model are actually time-invariant calcium and potassium memristors in the third-order memristive Morris–Lecar model. We confirmed the existence of a small unstable limit cycle oscillation in both the second-order and the third-order Morris–Lecar model by numerically calculating the basin of attraction of the asymptotically stable equilibrium point associated with two subcritical Hopf bifurcation points. We also describe a comprehensive analysis of the generation of oscillations in third-order memristive Morris–Lecar model via small-signal circuit analysis and a subcritical Hopf bifurcation phenomenon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
