Chaotic Criteria
An autonomous circuit made from standard components (resistors, capacitors, inductors) must satisfy three criteria before it can display chaotic behaviour. It must contain:
- one or more nonlinear elements
- one or more locally active resistors
- three or more energy-storage elements.
Chua's circuit is the simplest electronic circuit meeting these criteria. As shown in the figure, the energy storage elements are two capacitors (labeled C1 and C2) and an inductor (labeled L1). There is an active resistor (labeled R). There is a nonlinear resistor made of two linear resistors and two diodes. At the far right is a negative impedance converter made from three linear resistors and an operational amplifier. The section to the right simulates Chua's diode, a component that is currently not sold commercially.

Famous quotes containing the words chaotic and/or criteria:
“Our chaotic economic situation has convinced so many of our young people that there is no room for them. They become uncertain and restless and morbid; they grab at false promises, embrace false gods and judge things by treacherous values. Their insecurity makes them believe that tomorrow doesn’t matter and the ineffectualness of their lives makes them deny the ideals which we of an older generation acknowledged.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.”
—H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)
