A novel discrete memristive hyperchaotic map with multi-layer differentiation, multi-amplitude modulation, and...

In recent years, the introduction of memristors in discrete chaotic map has attracted much attention due to its enhancement of the complexity and controllability of chaotic maps, especially in the fields of secure communication and random number generation, which have shown promising applications. In this work, a three-dimensional discrete memristive hyperchaotic map (3D-DMCHM) based on cosine memristor is constructed. First, we analyze the fixed points of the map and their stability, showing that the map can either have a linear fixed point or none at all, and the stability depends on the parameters and initial state of the map. Then, phase diagrams, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, timing diagrams, and attractor basins are used to analyze the complex dynamical behaviors of the 3D-DMCHM, revealing that the 3D-DMCHM enters into a chaotic state through a period-doubling bifurcation path, and some special dynamical phenomena such as multi-layer differentiation, multi-amplitude control, and offset boosting behaviors are also observed. In particular, with the change of memristor initial conditions, there exists an offset that only homogeneous hidden chaotic attractors or a mixed state offset with coexistence of point attractors and chaotic attractors. Finally, we confirmed the high complexity of 3D-DMCHM through complexity tests and successfully implemented it using a digital signal processing circuit, demonstrating its hardware feasibility.
