This paper introduces a modified Morris–Lecar neuron model that incorporates a memristor with a ReLU-based activation function. The impact of the memristor on the dynamics of the ML neuron model is analyzed using bifurcation diagrams and Lyapunov exponents. The findings reveal chaotic behavior within specific parameter ranges, while increased magnetic strength tends to maintain periodic dynamics. The emergence of various firing patterns, including periodic and chaotic spiking as well as square-wave and triangle-wave bursting is also evident. The modified model also demonstrates multistability across certain parameter ranges. Additionally, the dynamics of a network of these modified models are explored. This study shows that synchronization depends on the strength of the magnetic flux, with synchronization occurring at lower coupling strengths as the magnetic flux increases. The network patterns also reveal the formation of different chimera states, such as traveling and non-stationary chimera states. Full article

In this article, the synchronization of bidirectionally coupled fractional-order chaotic systems with unknown time-varying parameter disturbance in different dimensions is investigated. The scale matrices are designed to address the problem of the synchronization for fractional-order chaotic systems across two different dimensions. Congelation of variables is used to deal with the unknown time-varying parameter disturbance. Based on Lyapunov’s stability theorem, the synchronization controllers in different dimensions are obtained. At the same time, adaptive laws of the unknown disturbance can be designed. Benefiting from the proposed methods, we verify all the synchronization errors can converge to zero as time approaches infinity, regardless of whether in n-D or m-D synchronization, simultaneously ensuring that both control and estimation signals are bounded. Finally, simulation studies based on fractional-order financial systems are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization method. Full article

The design of chaotic systems with complex dynamic behaviors has always been a key aspect of chaos theory in engineering applications. This study introduces a novel fractional-order system characterized by hidden dynamics, hyperchaotic behavior, and multi-scroll attractors. By employing fractional calculus, the system’s order is extended beyond integer values, providing a richer dynamic behavior. The system’s hidden dynamics are revealed through detailed numerical simulations and theoretical analysis, demonstrating complex attractors and bifurcations. The hyperchaotic nature of the system is verified through Lyapunov exponents and phase portraits, showing multiple positive exponents that indicate a higher degree of unpredictability and complexity. Additionally, the system’s multi-scroll attractors are analyzed, showcasing their potential for secure communication and encryption applications. The fractional-order approach enhances the system’s flexibility and adaptability, making it suitable for a wide range of practical uses, including secure data transmission, image encryption, and complex signal processing. Finally, based on the proposed fractional-order system, we designed a simple and efficient medical image encryption scheme and analyzed its security performance. Experimental results validate the theoretical findings, confirming the system’s robustness and effectiveness in generating complex chaotic behaviors. Full article

In this study, we expand a 2D sine map via adding the discrete memristor to introduce a new 3D fractional-order sine-based memristor map. Under commensurate and incommensurate orders, we conduct an extensive exploration and analysis of its nonlinear dynamic behaviors, employing diverse numerical techniques, such as analyzing Lyapunov exponents, visualizing phase portraits, and plotting bifurcation diagrams. The results emphasize the sine-based memristor map’s sensitivity to fractional-order parameters, resulting in the emergence of distinct and diverse dynamic patterns. In addition, we employ the sample entropy (SampEn) method and C0 complexity to quantitatively measure complexity, and we also utilize the 0–1 test to validate the presence of chaos in the proposed fractional-order sine-based memristor map. Finally, MATLAB simulations are be executed to confirm the results provided. Full article
