A scaling exponent-based detector of chaos in oscillatory circuits

September 9, 2012

In this paper, a scaling exponent based approach is proposed to determine the state of chaotic circuits, and the scaling exponent is calculated using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). The corresponding detector is designed using the fact that the scaling exponent changes for various states of chaotic circuits. Simulation examples in this paper are performed for the Chua's circuit and other chaotic systems and compared with the state-of-the-art in the field. The proposed detector outperforms existing techniques in ability to distinguish the chaotic and periodic states in the circuits for relatively high noise.
