Abstract
In this work, the interesting dynamics of coupled nonlinear memristor-based oscillators in ring configuration are explored. The mathematical models are derived to describe the possible cases of employing identical or different nonlinearities. Analytical and numerical techniques, involving perturbation methods, normal forms, phase portraits, and Lyapunov exponents are used to investigate various types of dynamical behaviors along with their stability regions in parameters space. The effects of time-delayed coupling on the proposed system are numerically studied. It is demonstrated that the coupled oscillators show rich dynamics including periodic orbits, quasiperiodicity, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional tori.
