This paper is an extension of V-shape multi-scroll butterfly attractor in the fractional-order domain. The system complexity is increased by the new dynamics introduced by the fractional operator which make it more suitable for random signal generator. The effect of system parameters on controlling the attractor shape is investigated and compared with the integer order attractor. Maximum Lyapunov exponent is calculated for both integer and fractional orders attractors to prove the complexity of fractional chaotic system using time series. © 2017 IEEE.

A highly efficient photovoltaic nanocomposite device is demonstrated by fabrication of structural clusters of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on silicon solar cells via a boil deposition method. The efficiency of silicon solar cell was augmented by coating Ag NPs ultra-thin-film deposition on silicon solar cell. Chemically synthesized silver NP's, their consumption on a silicon thin layer and the operation of photovoltaic nanocomposite device were characterized by using several electron probe microscopic pectroscopic and spectrometric techniques viz. x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron

This paper introduces a study to generalize the design of a continuous time filters into the fractional order domain. The study involves inverting and non-inverting filters based on CFOA where three responses are extracted which are high-pass, band-pass and low-pass responses. The proposed study introduces the generalized formulas for the transfer function of each response with different fractional orders. The fractional-order filters enhance the design flexibility and controllability due to the extra degree of freedom provided by the fractional order parameters. The general fundamentals of

In this paper, a general analysis of the generation for all possible fractional order oscillators based on two-port network is presented. Three different two-port network classifications are used with three external single impedances, where two are fractional order capacitors and a resistor. Three possible impedance combinations for each classification are investigated, which give nine possible oscillators. The characteristic equation, oscillation frequency and condition for each presented topology are derived in terms of the transmission matrix elements and the fractional order parameters α

This paper presents a generalization of well-known phase shift oscillator based on single CCII into the fractional order domain. The general state matrix, characteristic equation and design equations are presented. The general oscillation frequency, condition and the phase difference between the oscillatory outputs are introduced in terms of the fractional order parameters. These parameters add extra degrees of freedom which in turn increase the design flexibility and controllability. Numerical discussion of five special cases is investigated including the integer case. Spice simulations and

This paper proposes a hardware platform implementation on FPGA for two fractional-order derivative operators. The Grünwald-Letnikov and Caputo definitions are realized for different fractional orders. The realization is based on non-uniform segmentation algorithm with a variable lookup table. A generic implementation for Grünwald-Letnikov is proposed and a 32 bit Fixed Point Booth multiplier radix-4 is used for Caputo implementation. Carry look-ahead adder, multi-operand adder and booth multiplier are used to improve the performance and other techniques for area and delay minimization have

This paper presents a generalization of Soliman's four-phase oscillator into the fractional-order domain. The extra degrees of freedom provided by the fractional-order parameters α and β add more flexibility to the design of the circuit. The design procedure and equations of the proposed oscillator are presented and verified using Matlab and PSPICE. Also, the stability analysis for fractional order systems is studied for different cases of α and β. © 2017 IEEE.

This paper introduces new meta-heuristic optimization algorithms for extracting the parameters of the Cole-impedance model. It is one of the most important models providing best fitting with the measured data. The proposed algorithms inspired by nature are known as Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) and Moth-Flame Optimizer (MFO). The algorithms are tested over sets of both simulated and experimental data. The results are compared with other fitting algorithms such as the Non-linear least square (NLS) and Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO). The comparison showed a better fit in the sum of

This paper proposes new multi-scrolls chaotic systems which is called the X-shape. The purpose is to have more complex systems and flexible ranges of the chaotic behavior. The proposed X-shape is a combination between V-shape and Λ-shape. This paper also represents the Heart-shape which considered a special case of the X-shape. The system complexity has been measured by MLE and compared with V-shape system. It shows lager MLE on the side of X-shape. In addition, the effect of changing system parameters has been discussed and compared with V-shape. Finally, a fully hardware implantation on FPGA

The promising capabilities of fractional-order devices challenge researchers to find a way to build it physically. Approximating the Laplacian operator sα can pave the way to emulate the fractional-order devices till its off-the-shelf appearance. This paper introduces three approximations of the Laplacian operator sα: Oustaloup, Matsuda, and Valsa by comparing their behaviors through two types of oscillator circuits. The first two are well-established approximations and the latter is proposed for the first time by converting its model network to an integer polynomial approximation of the
