Abstract:
An integrator-based chaotic oscillator structure composed of three cascaded inverting, noninverting, and differential integrators is presented. The nonlinearity responsible for folding the trajectories is introduced by a single switching diode which is controlled by the output of the first integrator in the cascade. Chaotic behavior is verified on the functional level of the structure rendering it circuit-independent. A possible circuit realization is given and a canonical single-parameter-controlled ordinary differential equation capturing the qualitative dynamics of similar fourth-order integrator-based chaotic oscillators is proposed.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
