Slow Invariant Manifolds of Memristor-Based Chaotic Circuits

This work presents an efficient approach for computing the slow invariant manifold of the fourth-order canonical memristor-based Chua circuits using the flow curvature method. First, the magnetic-flux and charge characteristic curve is generated from the classical circuit with a piecewise-linear function. Then, the characteristic curve is generated from the circuit with the piecewise-linear function replaced by a cubic function. Further, the duality principle is applied to studying such memristor-based circuits in the three-dimensional flux-linkage and charge phase space and then in the four-dimensional current–voltage phase space. It is demonstrated that the slow invariant manifolds of these fourth-order memristor-based chaotic circuits can be more directly computed for the first case than the second.
