Hidden extreme multistability in memristive hyperchaotic system

By utilizing a memristor to substitute a coupling resistor in the realization circuit of a three-dimensional chaotic system having one saddle and two stable node-foci, a novel memristive hyperchaotic system with coexisting infinitely many hidden attractors is presented. The memristive system does not display any equilibrium, but can exhibit hyperchaotic, chaotic, and periodic dynamics as well as transient hyper-chaos. In particular, the phenomenon of extreme multistability with hidden oscillation is revealed and the coexistence of infinitely many hidden attractors is observed. The results illustrate that the long term dynamical behavior closely depends on the memristor initial condition thus leading to the emergence of hidden extreme multistability in the memristive hyperchaotic system. Additionally, hardware experiments and PSIM circuit simulations are performed to verify numerical simulations. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
