A memristive chaotic system with rich dynamical behavior and circuit implementation.

In this paper, a novel four-dimensional autonomous chaotic system based on memristive diode bridge is presented, and it consists of a simple linear oscillation and a memristor. According to the mathematical model of the system, the equilibrium point is analyzed, and the phase portraits, time-domain sequences, bifurcation diagrams and Lyapunov exponent spectrums are numerically simulated. The rich dynamical behavior of proposed system is investigated. It includes multistability, offset boosting and chaotic bursting. In addition, the circuit simulation and Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware experiment are carried out to verify the feasibility of the system. Then the application of proposed system in chaotic image encryption is presented. By carrying out some security performance analyses, we show that the proposed system has good security performance. • A memristor chaotic system with simple circuit structure is proposed. • The memristive chaotic system presented in this paper has rich dynamical behaviors. • The dynamical behavior of offset boosting and multi-stable is proposed.
