Fig. 1.12 Periodic table of circuit elements. The four basic circuit elements, i.e., resistor,
capacitor, inductor, and memristor, are enclosed within a dashed rectangle and they correspond
to the four dots with coordinates (0, 0), (0, −1), (−1, 0), and (−1, −1), respectively. The higherorder elements named Memcapacitor and Meminductor correspond to the dots (−1, −2) and
(−2, −1), respectively
