Abstract

Memristors offer a crucial element for constructing discrete maps that have garnered significant attention in complex dynamics and various potential applications. In this study, we have integrated memristive and sigmoidal function to propose innovative mapping techniques. Our research confirms that the amalgamation of memristor and sigmoidal functions represents a promising approach for creating both 2D and 3D maps. Particularly noteworthy are the chaotic maps featuring multiple sigmoidal functions and multiple memristors, as highlighted in our findings. Specifically focusing on the novel STMM1 map, we delve into its dynamics and assess its feasibility. Intriguingly, the introduction of sigmoidal functions leads to alterations in the quantity of fixed points and the symmetry of the map.
