Dynamic behaviors of hyperbolic-type memristor-based Hopfield neural network considering synaptic crosstalk

Crosstalk phenomena taking place between synapses can influence signal transmission and, in some cases, brain functions. It is thus important to discover the dynamic behaviors of the neural network infected by synaptic crosstalk. To achieve this, in this paper, a new circuit is structured to emulate the Coupled Hyperbolic Memristors, which is then utilized to simulate the synaptic crosstalk of a Hopfield Neural Network (HNN). Thereafter, the HNN’s multi-stability, asymmetry attractors, and anti-monotonicity are observed with various crosstalk strengths. The dynamic behaviors of the HNN are presented using bifurcation diagrams, dynamic maps, and Lyapunov exponent spectrums, considering different levels of crosstalk strengths. Simulation results also reveal that different crosstalk strengths can lead to wide-ranging nonlinear behaviors in the HNN systems.
