This paper reports on the simulation, in three-dimensional cellular-neural-network (CNN) arrays of Chua’s circuits, of basic three-dimensional scroll wave patterns observed previously from other media. Among the simulated patterns are the straight scroll wave, twisted scroll wave in both homogeneous and inhomogeneous media, as well as the scroll ring. These types of waves have been obtained for only one set of circuit parameters by varying the initial conditions.

We consider the asymptotic theory for the dynamics of organizing filaments of three-dimensional scroll waves. For a generic autowave medium where two dimensional vortices do not meander, we show that some of the coefficients of the evolution equation are always zero. This simpler evolution equation predicts a monotonic change of the total filament length with time, independently of initial conditions. Whether the filament will shrink or expand is determined by a single coefficient, the filament tension, that depends on the medium parameters. We illustrate the behaviour of scroll wave filaments with positive and negative tension by numerical experiments. In particular, we show that in the case of negative filament tension, the straight filament is unstable, and its evolution may lead to a multiplication of vortices.

Abstract Spiral waves are a well-known and intensively studied dynamic phenomenon in excitable media of various types. Most studies have considered an excitable medium with a single stable resting state. However, spiral waves can be maintained in an excitable medium with bistability. Our calculations, performed using the widely used Barkley model, clearly show that spiral waves in the bistability region exhibit unique properties. For example, a spiral wave can either rotate around a core that is in an unexcited state, or the tip of the spiral wave describes a circular trajectory located inside an excited region. The boundaries of the parameter regions with positive and "negative" cores have been defined numerically and analytically evaluated. It is also shown that the creation of a positive or "negative" core may depend on the initial conditions, which leads to hysteresis of spiral waves. In addition, the influence of gradient flow on the dynamics of the spiral wave, which is related to the tension of the scroll wave filaments in a three-dimensional medium, is studied.

We study numerically the behavior of a scroll wave in a three-dimensional excitable medium with stepwise heterogeneity, using a FitzHugh Nagumo type model. We find that if the refractory periods in the two homogeneous subregions are sufficiently different, the scroll breaks into two scrolls rotating independently in each part of the medium. Eventually, the faster scroll eliminates the slower one leading to a stationary process, in which the scroll wave surviving in the region of faster recovery acts as a source for planar waves in the region of slower recovery.

A novel sufficient condition is developed to obtain the discrete-time analogues of cellular neural network (CNN) with periodic coefficients in the three-dimensional space. Existence and global stability of a periodic solution for the discrete-time cellular neural network (DT-CNN) are analysed by utilizing continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and Lyapunov stability theory, respectively. In addition, an illustrative numerical example is presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Video command and dispatch systems have become essential communication safeguard measures in circumstances of emergency rescue, epidemic prevention, and control command as, data security has become especially important. After meeting the requirements of voice and video dispatch, this paper proposes an end-to-end encryption method of multimedia information that introduces a multiple protection mechanism including selective encryption and selective integrity protection. The method has a network access authentication and service encryption workflow, which implants startup authentication and key distribution into the information control signaling procedure. This method constitutes a key pool with the three-dimensional Lorenz System, the four-dimensional Cellular Neural Network (CNN) System and the four-dimensional Chen System where the key source system and initial conditions are decided by the plaintext video frame itself. Then, this method optimizes the chaotic sequences to further enhance system security.

A cellular neural network (CNN) based on a VO2 carbon nanotube memristor is proposed in this paper. The device is modeled by SPICE at first, and then the cell dynamic characteristics based on the device are analyzed. It is pointed out that only when the cell is at the sharp edge of chaos can the cell be successfully awakened after the CNN is formed. In this paper, we give the example of a 5 × 5 CNN, set specific initial conditions and observe the formed pattern. Because the generated patterns are affected by the initial conditions, the cell power supply can be pre-programmed to obtain specific patterns, which can be applied to the future information processing system based on complex space–time patterns, especially in the field of computer vision.
