Memristors are gaining increasing attention as next generation electronic devices. They also becoming commonly used fundamental blocks for building chaotic circuits, although often arbitrary (typically piece-wise linear or cubic) flux-charge characteristics assumed. In this paper, a circuit based on the mathematical realistic model of HP memristor is introduced. The makes use two memristors in antiparallel. Numerical results showing some attractors generated by and behavior with respect to...
We address the problem of how survival cooperation in a social system depends on motion individuals. Specifically, we study model which prisoner's dilemma players are allowed to move two-dimensional plane. Our results show that can survive such provided both temptation defect and velocity at agents not too high. Moreover, when these conditions fulfilled, only asymptotic state is all cooperators. might have implications for design cooperative strategies coordination other applications...
We consider a set of mobile agents in two dimensional space, each one them carrying chaotic oscillator, and discuss the related synchronization issues under framework time-variant networks. In particular, we show that, as far time scale for motion is much shorter than that associated dynamical systems, global behavior can be characterized by scaled all-to-all Laplacian matrix, conditions depend on agent density plane.

Chimera states have been recently found in a variety of different coupling schemes and geometries. In most cases, the underlying structure is considered to be static, while many realistic systems display significant temporal changes pattern connectivity. this work we investigate time-varying network made two coupled populations Kuramoto oscillators, where links between groups are vary over time. As main result find that may support stable, breathing, alternating chimera states. We also that,...
The realization of integrated devices determines unavoidable imperfections which are linked to the manufacturing process, thus making them imperfect systems. Imperfection is not always detrimental, as it can lead unexpected complex and organized behaviors. In this paper we explore possibility designing electronic circuits producing a chaotic flow with bandwidth up order several megahertz thanks hidden dynamics induced by construction imperfections, whose characteristics be tuned means single...
We study the effect of motion on disease spreading in a system random walkers which additionally perform long-distance jumps. A small percentage jumps agent is sufficient to destroy local correlations and produce large drop epidemic threshold, that we explain terms mean-field approximation. This similar crossover found static small-world networks, can be furthermore linked structural properties dynamical network interactions.
