Multi-scroll attractors have attracted attention because of their more complex topological structures and artificially controllable attractor structures. This paper proposes a new nonvolatile magnetic-controlled memristor and uses it to simulate the effect of membrane flux changes caused by neuronal exposure to electromagnetic radiation. A series of complex chaotic phenomena are found by plotting phase diagrams, bifurcation diagrams, attractor domains and 01 tests, including multi-scroll chaotic attractors controlled by memristors, symmetric bifurcation behavior, coexistence phenomena enhanced by initial offset. The mechanisms behind them are explained through equilibrium point analysis. A dual memristive HNN (MHNN) coupling synchronization model is proposed to simulate the synchronization between regions within the human brain. The Lyapunov function of the error is constructed to prove that this coupling synchronization scheme is ultimately bounded. The feasibility of this synchronization scheme is verified by establishing a Simulink model and conducting simulation experiments.

1 Introduction

Numerous neurophysiological and neuroanatomical studies have shown that human brain activity is closely related to the dynamic behavior of biological neurons and neural networks. In order to reveal the mystery of how the brain processes, manipulates and accesses information, scientists have conducted long-term research on the structure and working mechanism of biological neural networks and established various artificial neuron and neural network models [110]. Hopfield neural networks (HNN) have been widely studied for their simple mathematical form and rich dynamical behavior. Liang et al. investigated the long time behavior of the mild solution to delayed reaction-diffusion HNNs driven by infinite dimensional Wiener processes. They analyzed the existence, uniqueness, and stability of this system under the local Lipschitz function by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii function and utilizing the semigroup theory. Pu et al. proposed to introduce fractional calculus to implement HNN. They implemented the fractional HNN by utilizing fractor in the form of an analog circuit and the fractional steepest descent approach. In addition, they construct the Lyapunov function to prove the stability of fractional HNN and analyze its attractors [11]. Danca et al. unveiled the existence of hidden chaotic sets in a simplified HNN with three neurons. They proved that besides two stable cycles, the system also has hidden chaotic attractors and hidden chaotic transients, which converge to regular motions along the stable cycles after a relatively long lifetime [12]. In order to make HNN generate more rich and complex brain-like dynamical behaviors, more and more scholars introduce the brain-like element memristor into them [1319].

A memristor is a nonlinear circuit element whose resistance changes in response to the current flowing through it or the voltage at both ends [2023]. This nonlinear behavior is very similar to the plasticity of synapses in the human brain [24]. In the process of transferring action potentials, the properties of synapses also change dynamically. Therefore, in recent years, many scholars have used memristors to replace the invariant synaptic weights in HNN and proposed a series of memristive HNN (MHNN) [2528]. For example, Leng et al. proposed a new circuit to emulate the Coupled Hyperbolic Memristors and utilized it to simulate the synaptic crosstalk of a HNN. With various crosstalk strengths, multi-stability, asymmetry attractors, and anti-monotonicity are observed in this MHNN [29]. Dong et al. proposed a novel memristive synaptic HNN with time delay, which used a memristor synapse to simulate the electromagnetic induced current caused by the membrane potential difference between two adjacent neurons. By choosing time delay and the coupling strength of memristors as bifurcation parameters, they obtained sufficient conditions of zero bifurcation and zero-Hopf bifurcation [26]. Besides simulating synapses, memristors are also used to simulate the effects of electromagnetic radiation on neurons. With the popularity of electronic products, electromagnetic radiation fills people’s daily lives. In order to explore the dynamical behavior of the human brain under electromagnetic radiation, more and more scholars introduce magnetically controlled memristors into HNN and propose a series of new MHNN [3032]. For instance, Lin et al. studied the chaotic dynamics of a three-neuron HNN under electromagnetic radiation stimulation, and found hidden extreme multistability that includes hyperchaos and transient chaos. In addition, they also designed a circuit based on HNN composed of commercially available electronic components to verify the theoretical analysis [33]. Wan et al. investigated the hidden multistability and parallel bifurcation behaviors of a HNN under the simulation of external electromagnetic radiation and dual bias currents. They also designed an equivalent analog circuit and verified the numerical simulation results by Multisim simulation and hardware experiment based on discrete electronic components [34].

In recent years, various complex dynamical behaviors have been found in both memristive synaptic weight HNN and HNN under electromagnetic radiation, including multi-scroll or multistructure chaotic attractors. Compared with general chaotic attractors, they are more attractive for their more complex topological structure and artificially controllable attractor structure. Zhang et al. introduced a non-ideal magnetically controlled memristor model containing a sign function into HNN, and constructed a memristive HNN model with multiple double-scroll attractors. The odd and even numbers of double scrolls can be flexibly controlled by the internal parameters of the memristor. In particular, they found the coexisting behavior induced by the initial state offset of the memristor, and the number of coexisting attractors was closely related to the total number of scrolls, and eventually tended to infinity as the total number of scrolls increased [35]. Yu et al. proposed a locally active memristor containing a smooth sign function and established a MHNN satisfying the Lipschitz condition by replacing the synaptic weights of HNN. From it, they found controllable multi-scroll behavior and extreme multistability. In addition, they physically implemented this multi-scroll MHNN using FPGA technology and applied it to image encryption [36]. Lai et al. established a novel flux-controlled memristor model using hyperbolic function series. By taking the memristor as synapses in a HNN, they constructed three MHNNs. These MHNNs can generate multi-double-scroll chaotic attractors or grid multi-double-scroll chaotic attractors, and the number of double scrolls in the attractors is controlled by the memristor [37].

Inspired by the above research status, We propose a new model of MHNN under electromagnetic radiation, from which we discover the complex dynamic behavior. The main novelty and contributions of this study are summarized as follows:

1) We propose a new memristor model with controllable number of power interruption steady states, whose memductance does not contain any polynomials.

2) By using it to simulate the effects of membrane flux changes caused by electromagnetic radiation, a new model of MHNN under electromagnetic radiation is proposed

3) A series of complex chaotic phenomena are found, including memristor-controlled multi-scroll attractors, symmetric bifurcation behaviors, initial offset boosting coexistence.

4) Inspired by inter-brain region synchronization of the human brain, we propose a dual MHNN coupling synchronization model. Through Lyapunov function and Simulink experiments, the feasibility of this synchronization scheme is verified.

The rest of this article is organized as follows. In Section 2, the memristor model is constructed. In Section 3, a MHNN under electromagnetic are constructed and analyzed. In Section 4, The dynamic numerical simulation is carried out. In Section 5, an dual coupling synchronous model is designed and proved. Section 6 summarizes the paper.

2 Novel nonvolatile memristor

2.1 Construction of memristor model

Over the past few years, a number of memristor models that can assist in the generation of multi-scroll attractors have been proposed one after another, and they are summarized in Table 1. Based on the general form of memristors, we propose a novel non-volatile memristor model that can induce controllable multi-scrolls in HNN. It can be expressed by the following equation:

im=WxvmWx=abx1+xẋ=mvmnhx(1)

where Wx is the memductance of the memristor. And hx is the function of the internal state variable of the memristor, which has two forms, h1x and h2x, to choose from, as follows:

h1x=x,M=0xi=1Msgnx+2i1+sgnx2i1,M=1,2,3,(2)

and

h2x=xsgnx,N=0xsgnxj=1Nsgnx+2j+sgnx2j,N=1,2,3,(3)

where sgnxis a symbolic function. By choosing different forms of the internal state variable function of the memristor and changing the parameters M, N, any odd or even number of scrolls can be easily induced in HNN.

2.2 Hysteresis characteristics and non-volatility

For the proposed memristor model, we first need to verify whether it satisfies the three fingerprints of a memristor [42]. Let the parameters a, b, m and n in Eq. 1 be 2.1, 0.5, 4.5 and 1.9 respectively, and take h1x and M = 2 as an example. Connect the memristor to an AC voltage source Vm=AsinFt. The voltage across the memristor and the current through it form a figure-eight-shaped pinched hysteresis loop (PHL) on the v-i plane. We take the frequency F of the AC voltage source as 30, 90 and 150 respectively, and superimpose the PHLs that appear each time on the same plane. The results are shown in Figure 1A. From the final results, it can be seen that when the frequency of the voltage source increases, the area enclosed by the PHL gradually shrinks. And when F = 150, the PHL almost shrinks into a straight line. From the test results of PHL, it can be seen that the model described by Eq. 1 is a memristor. To verify the non-volatility of the memristor, we usually need to draw a power-off plot (POP) of the memristor. When the voltage across the memristor disappears, i.e., vm = 0 in Eq. 1, the dynamic equation of the internal state variable of the memristor is simplified as follows:

ẋ=mvmnhx(4)

Taking the internal variable x as the horizontal axis and ẋ as the vertical axis, we can draw the POP of the memristor. Figure 1B shows that there are five zeros in the POP of the memristor at this time, and the slopes at these zeros are all negative, which means that the memristor has five stable equilibrium points after power-off. Since there are more than two steady states, the memristor described by Eq. 1 has non-volatility.

3 MHNN under electromagnetic radiation

3.1 MHNN model construction

HNN has a simple mathematical form and complex dynamic behavior. In the study of chaotic dynamics, the membrane capacitance and membrane resistance of neurons are usually set to 1 to further simplify the dynamic equation of HNN. At this time, any HNN can be expressed by the following formula:

Ẋ=X+WtanhX+I(5)

Where X is the neuron membrane potential vector, I is the external stimulus current vector, W is the weight matrix between neurons. In this paper, the weight matrix is:

W=1.52.90.721.203200.1(6)

The external stimulus current is uniformly set to zero. Let the initial membrane potentials of neuron one and neuron three be 0.1, and let the initial membrane potentials of neuron two be 1 and -1 respectively. The three-dimensional HNN can exhibit complex chaotic coexistence behavior at this time, and its phase diagram is shown in Figure 2A. By continuously changing the initial membrane potential of neuron 2, we can obtain the corresponding Lyapunov exponent spectrum diagram. Figure 2B shows that when the initial membrane potential of neuron 2 takes values in [-2, 2], it finally corresponds to a chaotic attractor.With the development of electronic products, people are exposed to electromagnetic radiation more and more frequently. According to Maxwell’s equations, the effect of electromagnetic radiation on a single neuron can be described by the fluctuation of magnetic flux on the cell membrane. The coupling between magnetic flux and membrane voltage can be realized by a magnetically controlled memristor [43]. Specifically for this paper, we add the memductance term of the memristor described by Eq. 1 to the dynamic equation of neuron 2 to simulate the effect of neuron 2 exposed to electromagnetic radiation. At this time, the dynamic equation of the original three-dimensional HNN becomes:

ẋ1ẋ2ẋ3ẋ4=x1x2x30+Wtanhx1tanhx2tanhx30+0kx2abx41+x40mx2nhx4(7)

where k represents the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, a, b, m and n are memristor parameters. hx4 is the internal state variable function of the memristor, which includes Eqs 2, 3.

3.2 Equilibrium analysis

Let the left side of Eq. 7 be zero, then we get the following system of equations:

0=x1+1.5tanhx1+2.9tanhx2+0.7tanhx30=x22tanhx1+1.2tanhx2+kx2abx41+x40=x3+3tanhx120tanhx2+0.1tanhx30=mx2nhx4(8)

After Gaussian elimination, it can be simplified to the following form:

H1=x22tanhx1+1.2tanhx2+kx2abx41+x4=0H2=x3+3tanhx120tanhx2+0.1tanhx3=0x1=0.5x3+12.9tanhx2+0.65tanhx3x2=nhx4m(9)

After eliminating x1 and x2, we can use the graphical method to solve the equation. Let the roots obtained be r1,r2,r3,r4. These roots are the equilibrium points of the MHNN. Next, we linearize the MHNN at the equilibrium points. The result of the Jacobian matrix for Eq. 7 is shown in Eq. 10.

J=0.51.5tanhx122.92.9tanhx220.70.7tanhx3202tanhx1221.2tanhx22+kabx4x4+1.0+0.20kx2bx4+1bx4sgnx4x4+1233tanhx1220tanhx22200.1tanhx320.900m0nhx4(10)

Substituting the equilibrium point r1,r2,r3,r4, we can obtain the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix. According to Shil’nikov’s theorem, if there exists a real eigenvalue δ and two complex conjugate eigenvalues α + βi and α/δ<1 and δα < 0 are satisfied, then the system will exhibit chaos at the equilibrium point. In the following analysis, we will substitute specific values for specific analysis.

4 Kinetic analysis of MHNN

Let the parameters a = 2.1, m = 2, n = 1.9. Taking h1x as the internal state variable function of the memristor and M = 0 as an example, the bifurcation behavior of the MHNN with respect to parameters k and b is studied. The parameter k in Eq. 7 represents the intensity of electromagnetic radiation. By continuously changing it in the range of [-0.3, 0.3], we can obtain the bifurcation diagram and the Lyapunov exponent spectrum diagram with respect to parameter k, as shown in Figure 3. Combining the bifurcation diagram and the Lyapunov exponent spectrum diagram, it can be seen that the MHNN is very sensitive to parameter k. In the interval (−0.3, −0.095), the system exhibits a period one. Near k = −0.095, the system bifurcates from period one to period two. Then near k = −0.065, the system evolves from period two to period four. After that, with the acceleration of period doubling, the system goes to chaos. In the interval [-0.055, 0.235], chaos and periodicity alternate. Finally, after k = 0.235, the system degenerates from chaos to period one and no longer exhibits chaotic behavior.

FIGURE 3
www.frontiersin.org

FIGURE 3. Bifurcation behavior of parameter k: (A) bifurcation diagram, (B) Lyapunov exponential spectrum.

In addition to parameter k, the bifurcation behavior of the MHNN with respect to parameter b is more interesting. Similarly, let parameter b continuously change in the interval [-10, 10], we can obtain the bifurcation diagram and the Lyapunov exponent spectrum diagram with respect to parameter b, as shown in Figure 4. In the interval (−10, −9.7), the system exhibits a period one. Near b = −9.7, the system bifurcates from period one to period two. Then near b = −7.9, the system evolves from period two to period four. Near b = −6.6, the system degenerates from period two to period one. Until near b = −4.05, the system again starts to change from period two to period four. After that, with the acceleration of period doubling, the system goes to chaos. In the interval [-3.85, 3.85], chaos and periodicity alternate. Near b = 4.05, the system degenerates from period four to period two. Near b = 6.6, the system evolves from period two to period four. Then near b = 7.9, the system degenerates from period four to period two, and finally degenerates to period one near b = 9.7. It is not difficult to find that the system evolves and degenerates at almost symmetrical positions. In addition, the Lyapunov exponent spectrum in Figure 4 is almost symmetrical about the vertical axis. In summary, the MHNN has a symmetrical bifurcation behavior with respect to parameter b.

4.1 Bifurcation behavior

4.1.1 Multi-scroll chaotic attractor

Due to the introduction of the memristor, the MHNN can exhibit multi-scroll behavior that does not exist in the general HNN. Let the parameters a = 2.1, b = 0.1, m = 5, n = 1.9 and k = 0.2 and the initial values be [0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1]. First, we choose h1x as the internal state variable function of the memristor. By setting the parameter M = 0, M = 1, M = 2 respectively, the MHNN exhibits a single scroll chaotic attractor, a three scroll chaotic attractor and a five scroll chaotic attractor. Then we choose h2x as the internal state variable function of the memristor. Similarly, by setting the parameter N = 0, N = 1, N = 2 respectively, the MHNN exhibits a double scroll chaotic attractor, a four scroll chaotic attractor and a six scroll chaotic attractor. Their phase diagrams are plotted in Figure 5. From the simulation results, it is easy to summarize the control law of the memristor for the number of scrolls. When choosing h1x as the internal state variable function of the memristor, the MHNN can easily induce 2M + 1 scrolls. And when choosing h2x as the internal state variable function of the memristor, the MHNN can easily induce 2N + 2 scrolls.

FIGURE 5
www.frontiersin.org

FIGURE 5. Phase diagram of multi-scroll MHNN: h(x) = h1(x) (red), h(x) = h2(x) (blue).

With the help of Shil’nikov’s theorem, the law behind this can be further explained. Taking the appearance of a five-scroll chaotic attractor as an example, according to the idea provided in Section 3.2, all the equilibrium points of the system at this time can be obtained. First, the graphical method is used to obtain the rough values of the roots. Using all the intersections in Figure 6 as a guide, numerical methods are used to obtain more accurate results of x3 and x4. Then the obtained results are substituted into Eq. 9 to obtain all the roots. Next, QR decomposition is used to obtain the eigenvalues corresponding to each equilibrium point, and the final results are shown in Table 2. Table 2 shows that for the MHNN that exhibits a five-scroll chaotic attractor, there are a total of 15 saddle-focus points at this time. And according to Shil’nikov’s theorem, there will be chaotic attractors near these equilibrium points, which is consistent with the simulation results in Figure 5. By observing the distribution of equilibrium points in Figure 6 and Table 2, it is not difficult to summarize that as the parameter M or N increases, the equilibrium points gradually extend along the direction of x4. That is to say, by changing the form of the internal variable function of the memristor and its parameters M or N, the number of equilibrium points of the MHNN can be easily controlled. And according to Shil’nikov’s theory, there will be chaotic attractors near these saddle-focus type equilibrium points. This directly makes the range of chaotic attractors of the MHNN also increase accordingly, which is specifically manifested as an increase in the number of scrolls in this section.

4.1.2 Initial offset boosting coexistence

In addition to having complex topological structures of multiple scroll attractors, the MHNN also has complex coexistence behavior. Let the parameters of the MHNN be a = 2.1, b = 0.1, m = 2, n = 1.9 and k = 0.2. First, we choose h1x as the internal state variable function of the memristor, and take M = 2 as an example. The initial membrane potentials of neurons 1, 2, and 3 are all set to 0.1, while the initial values of the internal state variable of the memristor are −4, −2, 0, 2 and 4 respectively. By superimposing the phase diagrams corresponding to each initial value together, we obtain the situation of five attractors coexisting as shown in Figure 7A. Observing these five coexisting attractors, it is not difficult to find that their shapes and sizes are highly similar, and they only shift by a fixed distance in the x4 direction. Figure 7B shows the basins of attraction corresponding to these attractors. These basins of attraction have the characteristics of clear boundaries and similar shapes, and their positions are very regular, that is, they shift by a fixed distance in the x4 direction. By plotting the bifurcation diagram and 01 test results with respect to the initial value of the internal variable of the memristor, we obtain Figures 7C, D, which further verify the results in Figures 7A, B.

FIGURE 7
www.frontiersin.org

FIGURE 7. Initial offset boosting coexistence when h1(x) is selected and M = 2: (A) Phase diagram, (B) Attraction of basin, (C) Bifurcation diagram, (D) Result of 0–1 test.

In addition, h2x is chosen as the internal state variable function of the memristor, and N = 2 is taken as an example. The initial membrane potentials of neurons 1, 2, and 3 are all set to 0.1, while the initial values of the internal state variable of the memristor are −5, −3, −1, 1, 3 and 5 respectively. Similarly, by superimposing the phase diagrams corresponding to each initial value together, six attractors coexisting can be obtained as shown in Figure 8A. Observing these six coexisting attractors, it is not difficult to find that their shapes and sizes are highly similar, and they only shift by a fixed distance in the x4 direction. Figure 8B shows the basins of attraction corresponding to these attractors. These basins of attraction have the characteristics of clear boundaries and similar shapes, and their positions are very regular, that is, they shift by a fixed distance in the x4 direction. By plotting the bifurcation diagram and 01 test results with respect to the initial value of the internal variable of the memristor, Figures 8C, D are obtained, which further verify the results in Figures 8A, B.

FIGURE 8
www.frontiersin.org

FIGURE 8. Initial offset boosting coexistence when h2(x) is selected and N = 2: (A) Phase diagram, (B) Attraction of basin, (C) Bifurcation diagram, (D) Result of 0–1 test.

From the analysis results of the previous section, it can be known that by choosing the form of the internal variable function of the memristor and its parameters M or N, the number of equilibrium points of the MHNN can be easily controlled. And there will be chaotic attractors near these saddle-focus type equilibrium points. Different from the previous section, the MHNN does not exhibit multi-scroll phenomena, but manifests as coexistence induced by initial position offset. By analogy with the change law of the number of scrolls of multi-scroll attractors, it can be inferred that when choosing h1x as the internal state variable function of the memristor, there are 2M + 1 coexisting attractors in the MHNN. And when choosing h2x as the internal state variable function of the memristor, there are 2N + 2 coexisting attractors in the MHNN.

5 Coupling synchronization of MHNN

5.1 Dual coupling synchronous model

Studies have shown that synchronization plays an important role in memory processing. Synchronization between brain regions supports working memory and long-term memory by facilitating communication between neurons and enhancing neuronal plasticity [44]. Brain regions are synchronized through the connection of some neurons to form inter-regional neural networks, and thus complete the information transmission between different brain regions. Designing a suitable controller is one of the most fundamental methods for controlling complex systems to achieve synchronization, and many scholars have proposed different control strategies [4555]. In this paper, we use two bounded sub-MHNNs to represent different brain regions. By coupling these two sub-neural networks with a single neuron, a dual-MHNN coupling model is established:

ẋ1=x1+1.5tanhx1+2.9tanhx2+0.7tanhx3+px1y1ẋ2=x22tanhx1+1.2tanhx2+kx2abx41+x4ẋ3=x3+3tanhx120tanhx2+0.1tanhx3ẋ4=mx2nh1x4ẏ1=y1+1.5tanhy1+2.9tanhy2+0.7tanhy3px1y1ẏ2=y22tanhy1+1.2tanhy2+ky2aby41+y4ẏ3=y3+3tanhy120tanhy2+0.1tanhy3ẏ4=my2nh2y4(11)

where p represents the coupling strength of the sub-neural networks. To make the two sub-neural networks successfully synchronized, the difference between their outputs needs to be zero, that is:

limte1=limtxiyi=0(12)

where i = 1, 2, 3. To prove the validity of the above equation, the following Lyapunov function can be constructed:

V=12e12+e22+e32(13)

Then its derivative with respect to time is:

V̇=e1ė1+e2ė2+e3ė3=2p1e12e22e32+1.5e12e2+3e3tanhx1tanhy1+2.9e1+1.2e220e3tanhx22.9tanhy2+0.7e1+0.1e3tanhx3tanhy3bke2x2x41+x4y2y41+y42p1e12e22e32+21.5e12e2+3e3+22.9e1+1.2e220e3+20.7e1+0.1e3bke2x2x41+x4y2y41+y4(14)

Since 1<x1+x<1 and both x2 and y2 are bounded, there exists a sufficiently large constant c, satisfying:

x2x41+x4y2y41+y4<c(15)

Therefore, Eq. 14 can be further relaxed as:

V̇2p1e12e22e32+21.5e12e2+3e3+22.9e1+1.2e220e3+20.7e1+0.1e3+cbke22p1e12e22e32+10.2e1+6.4+cbke2+46.2e32p1e15.112p25.122p1e26.4+cbk22+6.4+cbk22e323.1+23.12(16)

Therefore, when 2p − 1 < 0 holds, Eq. 13 is ultimately uniformly bounded.

5.2 Simulink simulation

The schematic diagram of Simulink experiment is shown in Figure 9 and let the system parameters be a = 2.1, b = 0.1, m = 2, n = 1.9, k = 0.1. By building a Simlulink model, the coupling synchronization model described by Eq. 11 can be easily simulated. When the coupling strength p = −1, the simulation results are shown in Figures 10, 11. Figure 11 shows that after the two sub-memristive HNNs are coupled, the difference between the potentials on the corresponding neurons quickly drops to near zero. Figure 10 is the time domain diagram of the potentials on neuron 1 of the two sub-networks, which shows that they match well.

6 Conclusion

This paper has investigated the nonlinear dynamics and applications of a new non-volatile magnetic-controlled memristor. It is demonstrated that the memristor can simulate the effect of electromagnetic radiation on neuronal membrane flux. By introducing this memristor to a 3D HNN, a 4D MHNN under electromagnetic radiation is constructed. By plotting phase diagrams, bifurcation diagrams, basins of attraction and 01 tests, a series of complex chaotic phenomena are found, including memristor-controlled multi-scroll chaotic attractors, symmetric bifurcation behaviors, initial offset boosting coexistence. Through equilibrium point analysis, the mechanisms behind them are explained. Finally, a dual MHNN coupling synchronization model simulating the inter-brain region synchronization of the human brain is proposed. By constructing a Lyapunov function for the error, this coupling synchronization scheme is proved to be ultimately bounded. By building a Simulink model, we verify the feasibility of this synchronization scheme by simulation experiments. This study contributes to the understanding of memristive systems, synchronization of brain regions and their potential applications in engineering.
