AUTOWAVES IN MEMRISTIVE CELLULAR NEURAL NETWORKS
Abstract
Memristor has received a significant amount of attention after a solid state implementation of it was realized in the Hewlett–Packard laboratories, because of the potential applications of such device in different areas. In this brief paper, we introduce a Cellular Neural/Nonlinear Network based on memristive cells for autowave generation. The basic cell consists of a three-component circuit (the parallel of a capacitor, an inductor and an active memristor) and displays slow–fast dynamics. Such a circuit is then connected through passive resistors to other identical cells to form a reaction–diffusion system. Simulation results show that the system is able to generate autowaves and open the way to the study of other complex phenomena like spiral waves or pattern formation in memristive circuits.
