Novel memristor and memristor-based applications

Abstract

This special issue presents 25 papers regarding memristor systems and their applications. Part of the manuscripts are about memristor-based neural systems, and the systems show rich dynamics. Multistability in memristive systems has aroused much interest, and nonlinear behaviors, such as hidden attractors, extreme multistability, and transient chaotic transition, are observed. There are also two works investigating controllers of fractional-order memristor chaotic systems and several for circuit implementation of memristor chaotic systems. As new research, discrete memristor chaotic maps are reported and show potential application value in the future. Finally, there are two papers about the application of memristive chaotic systems to image encryption fields, indicating that memristive chaotic systems can be used in the information security field.
