Dynamics of fractional and double-humped logistic maps versus the conventional one

This paper presents the dynamic analysis of two discrete logistic chaotic maps versus the conventional map. The first map is the fractional logistic map with the extra degrees of freedom provided by the added number of variables. It has two more variables over the conventional one. The second map is the double-humped logistic map. It is a fourth-order map which increases the non-linearity over the

Generalized double-humped logistic map-based medical image encryption

This paper presents the design of the generalized Double Humped (DH) logistic map, used for pseudo-random number key generation (PRNG). The generalized parameter added to the map provides more control on the map chaotic range. A new special map with a zooming effect of the bifurcation diagram is obtained by manipulating the generalization parameter value. The dynamic behavior of the generalized

Automatic RTL coding correction Linting tool for critical issues

This paper posits an automatic handling to some of the most common RTL critical issues in the verification process. In this paper, we propose an automatic linting tool to handle some causes of intentional latches generated in the synthesis process and clock gating timing violation. Therefore, no need to waste verification time to dive through long codes to handle them manually. The proposed tool

Fractional-Order Relaxation Oscillators Based on Op-Amp and OTRA

This paper introduces closed formulas of two topologies of fractional-order relaxation oscillators. One of these topologies is based on Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) and the other one depends on Operational Operational Trans-Resistance Amplifier (OTRA). Special cases for each topology are also provided. The advantage of these designs comes from the added extra degree of freedom presented by the
