This invaluable book is a unique collection of tributes to
outstanding discoveries pioneered by Leon Chua in nonlinear
circuits, cellular neural networks, and chaos. It is comprised of
three parts. The first - cellular nonlinear networks, nonlinear
circuits and cellular automata - deals with Chua's Lagrangian
circuits, cellular wave computers, bio-inspired robotics and
neuro-morphic architectures, toroidal chaos, synaptic cellular
automata, history of Chua's circuits, cardiac arrhythmias, local
activity principle, symmetry breaking and complexity, bifurcation
trees, and Chua's views on nonlinear dynamics of cellular automata.
Dynamical systems and chaos is the scope of the second part of the
book, where we find genius accounts on theory and application of
Julia set, stability of dynamical networks, chaotic neural networks
and neocortical dynamics, dynamics of piecewise linear systems,
chaotic mathematical circuitry, synchronization of oscillators,
models of catastrophic events, control of chaotic systems, symbolic
dynamics, and solitons. First hand accounts on the discovery of
memristors in HP Labs, historical excursions into 'ancient
memristors', analytical analysis of memristors, and hardware
memristor emulators are presented in the third and final part of
the book.The book is quintessence of ideas on future and emergent
hardware, analytic theories of complex dynamical systems and
interdisciplinary physics. It is a true Renaissance volume where
bright ideas of electronics, mathematics and physics enlighten
facets of modern science.The unique DVD covers the artistic aspects
of chaos, such as several stunningly melodious musical compositions
using chaotic atttractors, a virtual gallery of hundreds of
colorful attractors, and even a cartoon-like play on the genesis of
Chua's circuit that was based on a widely acclaimed performance in
Rome and other venues in Italy. In short, it is a veritable
kaleiscope of never-before-published historical, pedagogical, and
futuristic technical visions on three timely topics of intense
interest for both lay readers and experts alike.
