Window of multistability and its control in a simple 3D Hopfield neural network: application to biomedical image encryption

Abstract

In this contribution, the problem of multistability control in a simple model of 3D HNNs as well as its application to biomedical image encryption is addressed. The space magnetization is justified by the coexistence of up to six disconnected attractors including both chaotic and periodic. The linear augmentation method is successfully applied to control the multistable HNNs into a monostable network. The control of the coexisting four attractors including a pair of chaotic attractors and a pair of periodic attractors is made through three crises that enable the chaotic attractors to be metamorphosed in a monostable periodic attractor. Also, the control of six coexisting attractors (with two pairs of chaotic attractors and a pair of periodic one) is made through five crises enabling all the chaotic attractors to be metamorphosed in a monostable periodic attractor. Note that this controlled HNN is obtained for higher values of the coupling strength. These interesting results are obtained using nonlinear analysis tools such as the phase portraits, bifurcations diagrams, graph of maximum Lyapunov exponent, and basins of attraction. The obtained results have been perfectly supported using the PSPICE simulation environment. Finally, a simple encryption scheme is designed jointly using the sequences of the proposed HNNs and the sequences of real/imaginary values of the Julia fractals set. The obtained cryptosystem is validated using some well-known metrics. The proposed method achieved entropy of 7.9992, NPCR of 99.6299, and encryption time of 0.21 for the 256*256 sample 1 image.

Performance Evaluation of Enterprise Supply Chain Management Based on the Discrete Hopfield Neural Network

“…Wu et al [ 22 ] proposed a method to automatically extract text features based on the convolutional neural network; Njitacke et al [ 23 ] applied the linear augmentation method in controlling the multistable HNNs into a monostable network; in [ 24 ], in order to improve the structure of the RHNN model, the collective guidance factor-based pathfinder algorithm has been proposed. Wu et al [ 25 ] collected vast online oil news and used the convolutional neural network to extract relevant information automatically for forecasting US oil markets.…”

Hamiltonian energy computation and complex behavior of a small heterogeneous network of three neurons: circuit implementation

“…Some of these circuits are obtained from some mathematical models of the neurons that have been developed. Hodgkin-Huxley neuron [2], Izhikevich neuron [3], Morris-Lecar neuron [4], 2-D Hindmarsh-Rose (HR), 3-D-HR model [5,6], FitzHugh-Nagumo (FN) model [7], Hopfield neural network model [8][9][10][11], Chay model [12], and the Rulkov model [13], just to name a few, are among those neurons. Recall that in brain dynamics, neurons have a significant role in the brain's recording, selection, storage, learning, thinking, and data transfer processes.…”
