On the Mathematical Modeling of Memristor, Memcapacitor, and Meminductor

This book introduces the basic fundamentals, models, emulators and analyses of mem-elements in the circuit theory with applications. The book starts reviewing the literature on mem-elements, models and their recent applications. It presents mathematical models, numerical results, circuit simulations, and experimental results for double-loop hysteresis behavior of mem-elements. The authors introduce a generalized memristor model in the fractional-order domain under different input and different designs for emulator-based mem-elements, with circuit and experimental results. The basic concept of memristive-based relaxation-oscillators in the circuit theory is also covered. The reader will moreover find in this book information on  memristor-based multi-level digital circuits, memristor-based multi-level multiplier and memcapacitor-based oscillators and synaptic circuits.

“The book, organized on seven chapters, deals with the modeling, analysis and applications of memelements … . The book is interesting and can be used by researchers interested in memelements from the theoretical point of view as well as for a number of practical applications.” (Liviu Goraş, zbMATH 1334.94003, 2016)

Among the numerous books and monographs published so far on the memristor, memcapacitor, and meminductor, the Radwan-Fouda book stands out as the most comprehensive, scholarly, and timely. The book has both depth and breadth – it covers practically all aspects of memory circuit elements that have been published in the literature, including important contributions from the authors themselves. Each chapter is carefully organized, well-illustrated, and written pedagogically so even the uninitiated will find it to be eminently readable. The references are comprehensive and surprisingly up-to-date, including some obscure papers and several future papers that have not yet seen the light of day. Every serious researchers on memristors, memcapacitor, and meminductors will find this book indispensable.
