Abstract
The rich and diverse dynamics can endow chaotic systems with great flexibility, such as the edge of chaos. The diverse dynamics of chaotic systems caused by locally active memristors (LAMs) has been widely studied in the continuous model. However, discrete memristors (DMs) have not attracted much attention in this regard. Compared with continuous memristors (CMs), DMs are easier to implement on the hardware platform and conducive to the hybrid design of digital and analog. In this paper, we present a locally active discrete memristor (LADM) model and construct an improved 2D sine map with the LADM. The LADM-based sine map exhibits rich dynamical behaviors, including Feigenbaum trees, reverse bubbles, etc. In addition, a hardware platform is developed to implement the LADM-based chaotic map, with the phase portraits of four distinct cases being captured and visualized through an oscilloscope. Finally, we apply the LADM-based map to RC for the first time and verify its performance with two data sets from the real world. Experimental findings demonstrate that employing the LADM-based map as a reservoir significantly enhances reservoir computing (RC) performance, providing a new idea for future data processing.
