Investigation of Chaotic and Periodic Attractors in Nonlinear Autonomous Circuit

Abstract

Chaotic attractors for various electronic circuits have been proposed over the past few decades. Chaotic behavior can be explained by both autonomous and non autonomous circuits. The operation of non-autonomous circuits has usually exchanged physical simplification of the circuit for mathematically complex analysis, or vice versa. So, autonomous circuits are preferred from practical standpoint. In this paper, a simple autonomous circuit is presented with robust chaotic behavior. This circuit minimizes both physical and model component counts offering simple analysis. Nonlinear dynamical behavior of the proposed circuit will be explored towards fixed point attractor. Circuit simulation will be done on Multisim software as well as experimental analysis will also be performed for exploring the nonlinear behavior of the circuit.
