Abstract: Chua corsage memristor (CCM) is characterized by its local activity and can be used to construct neuron circuits. Edge of chaos is a subset of the locally active domain, which is responsible for the emergence of complexity and neuromorphic behaviors. When two identical resting “dead” CCM neurons poised on the edge of chaos are coupled through a linear passive resistor, these two neurons can be activated and a couple of oscillations appear. This phenomenon is referred to as the Smale paradox, which has not been observed from hardware circuits. In this talk, we will address this issue by proposing the stability criterion of the two-port coupled system using the small-signal analysis method and then derives an emergence condition of the Smale paradox based on two coupled “dead” CCM neurons in terms of the parameter value ranges. The experimental results confirm the reproduction of the Smale paradox and reveal the effect of the coupling resistance on the dynamics of the system.
