Abstract

Starting with the discovery of deterministic chaos in a 3D dynamical system made by Lorenz in 1963, a great deal of effort was made to build electronic circuits exhibiting chaotic oscillations. At present a large number of such items have been proposed. In particular, special interest has been devoted to the so-called Chua’s circuit (oscillator). Although earlier related proposals existed, this circuit was introduced – in the proper context – by L.O. Chua at the opening lecture given in the Workshop on Nonlinear Theory and its Applications (NOLTA’92), held at Waseda University, Tokyo, in January 1992. Chua’s circuit possesses a large variety of possible dynamical behaviors. By changing the values of control parameters, one can obtain regular behavior or chaotic oscillations. [4.2, 4.6, 4.7]
