A Simple memristive chaotic system with complex dynamics and ITS image encryption application

In this paper, a new memristive chaotic system with a relatively simple structure and complex dynamic behavior is proposed by introducing an absolute memristor into the VB19 chaotic system as a positive feedback term. The analysis shows that the new system is a fractional dimensional dissipative system and is unstable at the line equilibrium point. The system’s dynamic characteristics are studied using a bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponent’s spectrum. The numerical simulation shows that the period-doubling bifurcation phenomenon occurs when changing the parameters and system change from period to chaos. When the initial condition changes, the dynamic evolution of the system indicates that the coexistence of multiple attractors and chaotic signals can be controlled by local amplitude. In addition, a new image encryption algorithm based on the system is designed and the performance of this algorithm is tested through numerical analyses. The system’s analog circuit is built using electronic components and also realized by the microprocessor. The circuit realization results consistent with the numerical simulation results are obtained to verify the physical existence of the system.
