Fractional-order impedance transformation based on three port mutators

Due to the importance of the mutators for active circuit realizations, this paper investigates different three port mutator circuits that can be used to implement a floating impedance. The analytical equations that govern the proposed circuits as well as the necessary conditions under different configurations are introduced to realize positive and negative impedances. The proposed circuits are

Analytical solution for fractional derivative gas-flow equation in porous media

In this paper, we introduce an analytical solution of the fractional derivative gas transport equation using the power-series technique. We present a new universal transform, namely, generalized Boltzmann change of variable which depends on the fractional order, time and space. This universal transform is employed to transfer the partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation

Generalized smooth transition map between tent and logistic maps

There is a continuous demand on novel chaotic generators to be employed in various modeling and pseudo-random number generation applications. This paper proposes a new chaotic map which is a general form for one-dimensional discrete-time maps employing the power function with the tent and logistic maps as special cases. The proposed map uses extra parameters to provide responses that fit multiple

Chaos synchronisation of continuous systems via scalar signal

By analyzing the issue of chaos synchronization in the literature, it can be noticed the lack of a general approach, which would enable any type of synchronization to be achieved. Similarly, there is the lack of a unified method for synchronizing both continuous-time and discrete-time systems via a scalar signal. This paper and the companion one [1] aim to bridge these two gaps by presenting a
