Generation ofn-double scrolls via cellular neural networks

N-double scrolls are chaotic attractors generated by Chua's circuit when its non-linear resistor characteristic is appropriately modified. They have recently been introduced, simulated and studied analytically by Suykens and Vandewalle. In this paper a new approach to generate n-double scroll attractors is introduced. They have been derived from a connection of three simple generalized cellular neural network cells called a state controlled CNN (SC-CNN). In this way it is established that n-double scroll attractors can be generated using an SC-CNN. The circuit implementation of the introduced system and some experimental results referring to the 2-double scroll attractor are reported.
