Abstract
In practical applications, effectively regulating the amplitude of chaotic signals and maintaining the chaotic nature of the system are extremely critical to ensure system stability and prevent failures. However, traditional amplitude control methods usually change the bifurcation threshold or attractor geometry, impairing the integrity of chaos and increasing the risk of system instability, thus struggling to achieve effective control over complex chaotic signals. Given the rapid advancement in brain-inspired intelligence technology, it has become imperative to investigate new control techniques based on memristors to overcome the limitations of conventional approaches. To address these challenges, in this paper, a novel dual memristor-coupled Hopfield Neural Network (DMCHNN) is established, where one memristor represents external electromagnetic radiation and the other mimics synaptic connections. Two independent amplitude controllers are devised for signal rescaling, being capable of adjusting signal amplitudes in various modes, such as single-scroll, double-scroll, multi-double-scroll and coexisting homogeneous multi-scroll attractors induced by initial offset boosting. Simulations indicate that the parameter operating range of the amplitude controllers can reach up to 10<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">5</sup> or beyond. Furthermore, the performance of the amplitude controllers is additionally verified through the implementation based on the CH32 microcontroller. Rescaled chaotic signals are evaluated to determine their robust effectiveness in the deployment of pseudo-random number generators (PRNG). Eventually, the multi-scroll chaotic data with different amplitudes generated from DMCHNN is fed into the optimization algorithms for neural network optimization, which is utilized for medical image classification.
