A New Class of Chaotic Circuit with Logic Elements

When signum operation is applied in chaotic systems to realize piecewise-linearity, the original nonlinearity turns to be a kind of Boolean calculation, and correspondingly the chaotic circuit can be implemented by an analog structure embedded with some logic-gate circuits. In this paper, as examples based on the diffusionless Lorenz system we proposed a couple of chaotic flows with signum piecewise-linearity, which experimentally resorts to digital gate circuits. The experimental chaotic circuit with logic elements was built, and the oscillation in the physical circuit agrees well with the numerical simulation.
