A MODIFIED CHUA'S CIRCUIT WITH AN ATTRACTION-REPULSION FUNCTION
Abstract
In this paper, the original Chua's circuit is modified by substituting its piecewise-linear function with an attraction-repulsion function. Some new complex dynamical behaviors such as chaos are observed through computer simulations. Basic properties of the new circuit are analyzed by means of bifurcation diagrams. Lagrange stability conditions of the circuit are derived. A comparison between this modified Chua's circuit with an attraction-repulsion function and the modified Chua's circuit with a cubic nonlinear function is presented. Moreover, a generalization of the new circuit that can generate multiple scrolls is designed and simulated. Finally, a physical circuit is built to visualize the new system, with some experimental observations reported.
