Chua's Circuit

Dynamical Systems and Differential Equations

Chua's circuit is a simple electronic circuit that exhibits classic chaotic behavior, meaning roughly that it is a nonperiodic oscillator producing a waveform that, unlike an ordinary electronic oscillator, never repeats. It was invented in 1983 by Leon O. Chua, who was a visitor at Waseda University in Japan at the time. Because it is so easy to build, the circuit has become a widely used real world example of a chaotic system, leading some to describe it as a paradigm for chaos.
