Summary
This study presents a new method for constructing Hamiltonians in circuits using Chua
Area of Science:
- Circuit theory
- Nonlinear dynamics
- Mathematical physics
Background:
- Chua's periodic table classifies circuit elements based on their (α,β) properties.
- Hamiltonian construction is crucial for analyzing circuit dynamics, but traditionally limited to specific circuit types (Σ-circuits).
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a generalized method for constructing the Hamiltonian for circuits built from (α,β) elements of Chua's periodic table.
- To demonstrate that this construction is possible beyond the limitations of Σ-circuits.
Main Methods:
- Derivation starting from the Lagrange function for Σ-circuits.
- Application of the generalized Tellegen's theorem for broader circuit applicability.
- Utilizing Ostrogradsky's formalism for simulation scheme design.
Main Results:
- The Hamiltonian can be constructed using the generalized Tellegen's theorem, extending beyond Σ-circuits.
- The resulting Hamiltonian exclusively comprises the constitutive relations of the circuit elements.
- A simulation scheme for Σ-circuits was designed and validated using a nonlinear Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator.
Conclusions:
- A novel and generalized approach to Hamiltonian construction for circuits based on Chua's elements is established.
- The method offers a predictive modeling framework, relying solely on element properties.
- The developed simulation scheme provides a tool for analyzing complex nonlinear circuits.

Second-Order Circuits
2.8K
Integrating two fundamental energy storage elements in electrical circuits results in second-order circuits, encompassing RLC circuits and circuits with dual capacitors or inductors (RC and RL circuits). Second-order circuits are identified by second-order differential equations that link input and output signals.
Input signals typically originate from voltage or current sources, with the output often representing voltage across the capacitor and/or current through the inductor. For example, in...

The Delta-to-Y Circuit
675
In the delta-wye circuit, the source is delta-connected, while the load is in a wye configuration. This means that the phase voltage of the delta-connected source is equal to the line voltage of the wye-connected load. The connection between two-line currents originates from the delta-connected source. The phase difference in the balanced system allows for calculating one line current given the other, utilizing the positive sequence of phases. In the delta-wye system, the phase currents in the...

First-Order Circuits

First-order electrical circuits, which comprise resistors and a single energy storage element - either a capacitor or an inductor, are fundamental to many electronic systems. These circuits are governed by a first-order differential equation that describes the relationship between input and output signals.
One common example of a first-order circuit is the RC (resistor-capacitor) circuit. These circuits are used in relaxation oscillators such as neon lamp oscillator circuits. When voltage is...

Electric Circuit Elements
2.1K
Circuit elements are the basic building blocks of an electric circuit. Essentially, an electric circuit is the interconnection of these elements. Within electric circuits, one can find two types of elements: passive and active. Active elements have the ability to generate energy, whereas passive elements do not. Passive elements include components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors, while active elements typically encompass generators, batteries, and operational amplifiers.

Linear Circuits
697
A linear circuit is characterized by its output having a direct proportionality to its input, adhering to the linearity property, which encompasses the principles of homogeneity (scaling) and additivity. Homogeneity dictates that when the input, also referred to as the excitation, is multiplied by a constant factor, the output, known as the response, is correspondingly scaled by the same constant factor. For instance, if the current is multiplied by a constant 'k,' the voltage likewise...
