Engineering solutions based on dynamical chaos may improve the characteristics of various sensors such as metal detectors, salinometers, optical and magnetic field sensors, and so on. In this study, we investigated the possibility of creating inductive sensors based on Sprott chaotic oscillators with a planar printed circuit board inductive coil. The electric circuit of each sensor was obtained by merging two parts, namely, a harmonic oscillator and a nonlinear filter. A novel method for real-time oscillation analysis using a bandpass filter is presented. The suggested design technique was experimentally validated, and the sensor prototype showed characteristics making it practically applicable. In addition, the proposed technique can be used for the development of other types of sensors based on chaotic oscillators.
In this paper, we consider nonlinear integration techniques, based on direct Padé approximation of the differential equation solution, and their application to conservative chaotic initial value problems. The properties of discrete maps obtained by nonlinear integration are studied, including phase space volume dynamics, bifurcation diagrams, spectral entropy, and the Lyapunov spectrum. We also plot 2D dynamical maps to enlighten the features introduced by nonlinear integration techniques. The comparative study of classical integration methods and Padé approximation methods is given. It is shown that nonlinear integration techniques significantly change the behavior of discrete models of nonlinear systems, increasing the values of Lyapunov exponents and spectral entropy. This property reduces the applicability of numerical methods based on Padé approximation to the chaotic system simulation but it is still useful for construction of pseudo-random number generators that are resistive to chaos degradation or discrete maps with highly nonlinear properties.
Composition algorithms make up a prospective class of methods for solving ordinary differential equations. Their main advantage is an ability to retain some properties of the simulated continuous systems, e.g. phase space volume. Meanwhile, computational costs of composition solvers for non-Hamiltonian systems are high because the implicit midpoint rule should be used as a basic method. This also complicates the development of embedded applications based on the numerical solution of ODEs, such as hardware chaos generators. In this article, a new semi-explicit composition methods are proposed. The stability regions for different composition algorithms were plotted and a memcapacitor circuit was studied as a test problem. Computational experiments reveal the superior properties of semi-explicit composition algorithms as a hardware-targeted ODE solvers. The obtained results imply that the development of semi-explicit composition algorithms is a step towards construction a new generation of simulation software for nonlinear dynamical systems and embedded chaos generators.
