Abstract:
We study the suppression (amplitude death) and generation of oscillations (rhythmogenesis) in the Chua circuit using a feedback term consisting of conjugate variables (conjugate feedback). When the independent Chua circuit (without feedback) is placed in the oscillatory domain, this conjugate feedback induces amplitude death in the system. On the contrary, introducing the conjugate feedback in the system exhibiting fixed point behavior results in the generation of rhythms. Furthermore, it is observed that the dynamics of the Chua circuit could be tuned efficiently by varying the strength of this feedback term. Both experimental and numerical results are presented.

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...
