We study a van der Pol-like memristor oscillator, obtained by substituting a Chua’s diode with an active controlled memristor in a van der Pol oscillator with Chua’s diode. The mathematical model for the studied circuit is given by a three-dimensional piecewise linear system of ordinary differential equations, depending on five parameters. We show that this system has a line of equilibria given by the [Formula: see text]-axis and the phase space [Formula: see text] is foliated by invariant planes transverse to this line, which implies that the dynamics is essentially two-dimensional. We also show that in each of these invariant planes may occur limit cycles and relaxation oscillations (that is, nonsinusoidal repetitive (periodic) solutions), depending on the parameter values. Hence, the oscillator studied here, constructed with a memristor, is also a relaxation oscillator, as the original van der Pol oscillator, although with a main difference: in the case of the memristor oscillator, an infinity of oscillations are produced, one in each invariant plane, depending on the initial condition considered. We also give conditions for the nonexistence of oscillations, depending on the position of the invariant planes in the phase space.

Limiting Case

We show that a planar slow–fast piecewise-linear (PWL) system with three zones admits limit cycles that share a lot of similarity with van der Pol canards, in particular an explosive growth. Using phase-space compactification, we show that these quasi-canard cycles are strongly related to a bifurcation at infinity. Furthermore, we investigate a limiting case in which we show the existence of a continuum of canard homoclinic connections that coexist for a single-parameter value and with amplitude ranging from an order of ε to an order of 1, a phenomenon truly associated with the non-smooth character of this system and which we call super-explosion .

Abstract The asymptotic limit-cycle analysis of mathematical models for oscillating chemical reactions is presented. In this work, after a brief presentation of mathematical preliminaries applied to the biased Van der Pol oscillator, we consider a two-dimensional model of the Chlorine dioxide Iodine Malonic-Acid (CIMA) reactions and the three-dimensional and two-dimensional Oregonator models of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reactions. Explicit analytical expressions are given for the relaxation-oscillation periods of these chemical reactions that are accurate within 5% of their numerical values. In the two-dimensional CIMA and Oregonator models, we also derive critical parameter values leading to canard explosions and implosions in their associated limit cycles.

In this paper, we make a bifurcation analysis of a mathematical model for an electric circuit formed by the four fundamental electronic elements: one memristor, one capacitor, one inductor and one resistor. The considered model is given by a discontinuous piecewise linear system of ordinary differential equations, defined on three zones in ℝ3, determined by |z| < 1 (called the central zone) and |z| > 1 (the external zones). We show that the z-axis is filled by equilibrium points of the system, and analyze the linear stability of the equilibria in each zone. Due to the existence of this line of equilibria, the phase space ℝ3 is foliated by invariant planes transversal to the z-axis and parallel to each other, in each zone. In this way, each solution is contained in a three-piece invariant set formed by part of a plane contained in the central zone, which is extended by two half planes in the external zones. We also show that the system may present nonlinear oscillations, given by the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits, each one belonging to one such invariant set and passing by two of the three zones or passing by the three zones. These orbits arise due to homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcations, obtained varying one parameter in the studied model, and may also exist for some fixed sets of parameter values. This intricate phase space may bring some light to the understanding of these memristor properties. The analytical and numerical results obtained extend the analysis presented in [Itoh & Chua, 2009; Messias et al., 2010].

Parameter Values

A forced van der Pol relaxation oscillator is studied experimentally in the regime of stable oscillations. The variable parameter is chosen to be the driving frequency. For a range of parameter values, we show that the rotation number varies continuously from 0 to 1. This work provides experimental evidence that period-adding bifurcations to chaos previously reported by Kennedy and Chua are intimately connected to the existence of a regime of stable oscillations where the rotation number shows a Devil's-staircase structure.

Van Der Pol

Relaxation oscillations are characteristic of periodic processes consisting of segments which differ greatly in time: a long-time span when the system is moving slowly and a relatively short time span when the system is moving rapidly. The period of oscillation, the sum of these contributions, is usually treated by singular perturbation theory which starts from the premise that the long span is asymptotically extended and the short span shrinks asymptotically to a single instant. Application of the theory involves the analysis of adjacent dynamical regions and multiple time scales. The relaxation oscillations of the Stoker–Haag piecewise-linear discontinuous equation and the van der Pol equation are investigated using a simpler analytical method requiring only the connection at a point of the two dynamical fast and slow regions. Compared to the results of singular perturbation theory, the quantitative results of the present method are more accurate in the Stoker–Haag case and marginally less accurate in the van der Pol case. The relative simplicity of the formulation suggests extension to three-dimensional systems where relaxation oscillations can become unstable leading to bistability, multiple periodicity and chaos.

Dimensional Models

Nonlinear self-excited oscillations are usually investigated for two-dimensional models. We extend the simplest and best known of these models, the van der Pol oscillator, to a three-dimensional one and study its dynamical behaviour by methods of bifurcation analysis. We find cusps and other local codimension 2 bifurcations. A homoclinic (i.e. global) bifurcation plays an important role in the bifurcation diagram. Finally it is demonstrated that chaos sets in. Thus the system belongs to the few three-dimensional autonomous ones modelling physical situations which lead to chaotic behavior.
