A new class of differential oscillators comprising ten possible circuits is introduced in this work. Half of the members of this family are LC-based oscillators and the other half are RC-based ones. While all oscillators are second-order, a maximum of four resistors was imposed as a restriction on possible oscillators that belong to the proposed architecture. Only two of the found oscillators are

The fractional-order model of a phantom electroencephalographic system, at various distances between electrodes, is realized using appropriate decomposition of the rational transfer functions which approximate the highpass filters that describe its dynamics. The main offered benefits, in comparison to the corresponding straightforward implementations of the rational transfer functions, are the

Optimization routines are widely used to numerically determine a set of model parameters that best fit collected experimental data. One recent application of these methods is to extract the fractional-order circuit model parameters that accurately characterize the transient behavior of discharging supercapacitors. However, the variability that these methods introduce to the extracted model

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) has been used as a technique for the assessment of food attributes. This paper discusses the effect of injuries caused by heating and freezing treatments to plant's bioimpedance. Unlike other studies to these kinds of injuries, experiments are carried out on the whole fruit using non-invasive electrodes keeping the plant tissues unharmed. Moreover, one

Exploring the nonlinear dynamics of the memristors is essential to be adequately used in the applications. Realizing memristor on FPGAs as an intellectual property (IP) core offers a flexible platform to realize different models. In the literature, few implementations have been proposed for simple and limited memristor model. In this brief, two discrete and continuous versatile memristor models

This work announces an eleven-term novel 4-D hyperchaotic system with two quadratic nonlinearities. A qualitative analysis of the properties of the novel 4-D hyperchaotic system is presented. A special feature of our novel hyperchaotic system is that it has three equilibrium points of which two are unstable and one is locally asymptotically stable. The Lyapunov exponents of the novel hyperchaotic

We propose and validate a simple 3-transistor MOS circuit that shows an all-positive pinched hysteresis behavior. Complete analysis of the circuit is provided along with experimental results using a commercial CMOS transistor array. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Recently, fractional edge detection algorithms have gained focus of many researchers. Most of them concern on the fractional masks implementation without optimization of threshold levels of the algorithm for each image. One of the main problems of the edge detection techniques is the choice of optimal threshold for each image. In this paper, the genetic algorithm has been used to get the optimal

The fractional-order derivative and integral of Grünwald Letnikov's definition are implemented based on FPGA for different fractional orders. A new algorithm is proposed to implement the GL integral based on linear approximation approach, where the memory dependency of the fractional order systems is eliminated. Moreover, the linear approximation design shows an improvement of 91% and 92% in the

This paper presents the design of the generalized Double Humped (DH) logistic map, used for pseudo-random number key generation (PRNG). The generalized parameter added to the map provides more control on the map chaotic range. A new special map with a zooming effect of the bifurcation diagram is obtained by manipulating the generalization parameter value. The dynamic behavior of the generalized
