Foreword by Ronald Tetzlaff
of accurate but stable compact device models that allow the simulation and design
of future memristive dynamic circuits, which are needed for the digitalization of
today’s technology.
Starting from an axiomatic approach to introduce basic circuit elements and
fundamental concepts of circuit theory, including the treatment of oscillatory RLC
circuits, the authors continue with their original development, the flux-charge
analysis method (FCAM), which is a unique approach to gain a deep understanding
of nonlinear dynamics in memristive circuits. The circuit theoretic concept which
is based on Kirchhoff’s charge law and Kirchhoff’s flux law is clearly outlined
and prepares the reader for the following deep insight into the theory of nonlinear
dynamics, including the bifurcation without parameters in memristive RLCM
circuits. The application of the FCAM method to different circuits considering
cellular neural networks completes this unique book, which offers a comprehensive
insight into the concepts that allow an in-depth treatment of circuits with memelements.
It is my pleasure to congratulate the authors on this important contribution
to the theory of memristors, dedicated to graduate students and a broad class of
researchers.
