Abstract

Chaotic neural networks are able to reproduce chaotic dynamics observable in the brain of various living beings. As a result, study of the dynamical properties of such networks may pave the way towards a better understanding of the memory rules of the brain. In this paper a simple neural circuit employing a theoretical memristive synapse with symmetric charge-flux nonlinearity is found to behave chaotically. After presentation of a novel boundary-condition based model for real memristor nano-structures, conditions under which a suitable arrangement of such nano-structures is dynamically equivalent to the theoretical memristor are derived and validated.
