Targeting Multistable Dynamics in a Second-Order Memristor Circuit

Abstract

Circuits containing memelements (memory elements) are suitable for the design of new unconventional computational schemes. The coexistence of a rich variety of different attractors is one of the appealing property of these circuits, which has stimulated the so-called “multistability control” problem. This paper considers the multistability control problem for a circuit with a charge-controlled memristor. It is shown how pulse control inputs can be generated via an external current generator in order to drive the system dynamics from an attractor to another one in a given finite time interval.
