Abstract

A two-dimensional array of diffusively-coupled nonlinear electronic circuits, Chua's cells, operating in a bistable regime, is used to find the shortest path connecting two points of a given image. Images are previously stored in the system by modulating the diffusion coefficients. Different types of images were considered, from black and white pictures (where 0 means no propagation and 1 propagation), to analog figures (with many intermediate states) and, in all cases, the algorithm used for such calculations succeeded to find the shortest path. The full description of the algorithm is here described and applied to nontrivial cases where the shortest path strongly differs from the straight line.
