Over the past few decades, the research of dissipative chaotic systems has yielded many achievements in both theory and application. However, attractors in dissipative systems are easily reconstructed by the attacker, which leads to information security problems. Compared with dissipative systems, conservative ones can effectively avoid these reconstructing attacks due to the absence of attractors. Therefore, conservative systems have advantages in chaos-based applications. Currently, there are still relatively few studies on conservative systems. For this purpose, based on the simplest memristor circuit in this paper, a non-Hamiltonian 3D conservative system without equilibria is proposed. The phase volume conservatism is analyzed by calculating the divergence of the system. Furthermore, a Kolmogorov-type transformation suggests that the Hamiltonian energy is not conservative. The most prominent property in the conservative system is that it exhibits quasi-periodic 3D tori with heterogeneous coexisting and different amplitude rescaling trajectories triggered by initial values. In addition, the results of Spectral Entropy analysis and NIST test show that the system can produce pseudo-random numbers with high randomness. To the best of our knowledge, there is no 3D conservative system with such complex dynamics, especially in a memristive conservative system. Finally, the analog circuit of the system is designed and implemented to test its feasibility as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Memristor, as a typical nonlinear element, is able to produce chaotic signals in chaotic systems easily. Chaotic systems have potential applications in secure communications, information encryption, and other fields. Therefore, it is of importance to generate abundant dynamic behaviors in a single chaotic system. In this paper, a novel memristor-based chaotic system without equilibrium points is proposed. One of the essential features is the absence of symmetry in this system, which increases the complexity of the new system. Then, the nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the system are analyzed in terms of chaos diagrams, bifurcation diagrams, Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponent spectra, the sum of Lyapunov exponents, phase portraits, 0–1 test, recurrence analysis and instantaneous phase. The results of the sum of Lyapunov exponents show that the given system is a quasi-Hamiltonian system with certain initial conditions (IC) and parameters. Next, other critical phenomena, such as hidden multi-scroll attractors, abundant coexistence characteristics, are found characterized through basins of attraction and others. Especially, it reveals some rare phenomena in other systems that multiple hidden hyperchaotic attractors coexist. Finally, the circuit implementation based on Micro Control Unit (MCU) confirms theoretical analysis and the numerical simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
