Review of fractional-order electrical characterization of supercapacitors

The tests and calculation of the key performance metrics of supercapacitors including capacitance, power and energy stored are commonly reported by the academia and the industry based on formulæ valid only for ideal capacitors. This is inconsistent with the fact that supercapacitors exhibit electrical behaviors that are different from those of ideal capacitors whether they are looked at in the

Design and analysis of 2T2M hybrid CMOS-Memristor based RRAM

In this paper, a Static Noise Margin (SNM) analysis for 2T2M RRAM cell is investigated. The proposed analysis is done using mathematical formulation and verified by SPICE simulations. The analysis is tested for both, write and read modes. Moreover, the analysis is applied to diverse types of RRAM cells, and a comparison between the performance of such cells is discussed. Additionally, the effect

Dynamics of fractional and double-humped logistic maps versus the conventional one

This paper presents the dynamic analysis of two discrete logistic chaotic maps versus the conventional map. The first map is the fractional logistic map with the extra degrees of freedom provided by the added number of variables. It has two more variables over the conventional one. The second map is the double-humped logistic map. It is a fourth-order map which increases the non-linearity over the

Generalized double-humped logistic map-based medical image encryption

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

Security and Efficiency of Feistel Networks Versus Discrete Chaos for Lightweight Speech Encryption

This paper compares examples of non-chaotic and chaotic ciphers from the viewpoint of their suitability for speech encryption, especially in real-time and lightweight cipher systems. The non-chaotic encryption scheme depends on a modified Generalized Feistel Network (GFN), Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) and Substitution Boxes (S-Boxes). The chaotic encryption scheme utilizes a generalized

Self-excited attractors in jerk systems: Overview and numerical investigation of chaos production

Chaos theory has attracted the interest of the scientific community because of its broad range of applications, such as in secure communications, cryptography or modeling multi-disciplinary phenomena. Continuous flows, which are expressed in terms of ordinary differential equations, can have numerous types of post transient solutions. Reporting when these systems of differential equations exhibit

Chaos and bifurcation in controllable jerk-based self-excited attractors

In the recent decades, utilization of chaotic systems has flourished in various engineering applications. Hence, there is an increasing demand on generalized, modified and novel chaotic systems. This chapter combines the general equation of jerk-based chaotic systems with simple scaled discrete chaotic maps. Two continuous chaotic systems based on jerk-equation and discrete maps with scaling

New hybrid synchronisation schemes based on coexistence of various types of synchronisation between master-slave hyperchaotic systems

In this paper, we present new approaches to study the co-existence of some types of synchronisation between hyperchaotic dynamical systems. The paper first analyses, based on stability theory of linear continuous-Time systems, the co-existence of the projective synchronisation (PS), the function projective synchronisation (FPS), the full state hybrid function projective synchronisation (FSHFPS)

Supercapacitor reciprocity and response to linear current and voltage ramps

The focus in supercapacitor research typically falls into one of two categories: (i) the rational design and engineering of electrode materials and electrolyte formulation to achieve high performance devices at competitive costs, and (ii) the modeling of their resulting behavior in response to constant-current charging/discharging, cyclic voltammetry or impedance spectroscopy. However, less work
