Symmetry, Multistability and Antimonotonicity of a Shinriki Oscillator with Dual Memristors

In this paper, a type of modified dual memristive Shinriki oscillator is constructed with a flux-controlled absolute-type memristor and a voltage-controlled generic memristor, and the proposed oscillator with abundant dynamical behaviors, including the multistability and antimonotonicity, is comprehensively studied through dynamical distribution graphs, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents and phase portraits. It is found that the passive/active state of memristor, which means different characteristics in the [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] domain with positive and negative parameters of the elements, can affect the state of the oscillator. For example, if the memristor is active, the oscillator will change more frequently in the multistable region. Also, it is noted that, for inherent initial-related symmetry and circuit structures with duality, both phenomena have strong symmetric characteristics and opposite evolution trends modulated by values of corresponding components. Especially, the bubbles, which are symmetric about parameters with duality and own complex evolution laws, have rarely been explored in previous works. In addition, the memristive oscillator is modularized based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology, and the multiple coexisting attractors are captured, which verifies the accuracy of the numerical results.
