Generating n-Scroll Chaotic Attractors From a Memristor-Based Magnetized Hopfield Neural Network

This brief presents a novel method to generate <tex-math notation="LaTeX">n </tex-math> -scroll chaotic attractors. First, a magnetized Hopfield neural network (HNN) with three neurons is modeled by introducing an improved multi-piecewise memristor to describe the effect of electromagnetic induction. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that the memristor-based magnetized HNN can generate multi-scroll chaotic attractors with arbitrary number of scrolls. The number of scrolls can be easily changed by adjusting the memristor control parameters. Besides, complex initial offset boosting behavior is revealed from the magnetized HNN. Finally, a magnetized HNN circuit is designed and various typical attractors are verified.
