The invention discloses a four-dimensional fractional-order time-
delay chaotic circuit with a three-time magnetic control
memristor. The four-dimensional fractional-order time-
delay chaotic circuit comprises first to five channel circuits. According to the four-dimensional fractional-order time-
delay chaotic circuit disclosed by the invention, on the basis of a deformed
Lorenz system, a
memristor unit is added, so that the non-linear characteristic of the
system is enhanced; a time-
delay unit is added; furthermore, fractional-order expansion of an integer-
order system is carried out; therefore, the richness of the dynamic characteristic of the
system is improved; different chaotic
system circuits can be designed by combination of the order of a chaotic system and the
structural type of a circuit unit; each circuit has the special dynamic behaviour; the output
signal of the circuit has relatively high chaotic characteristic; this kind of fractional-order time-delay memristive chaotic system is applied to image
encryption and secret communication; and thus, the complexity of a key and the anti-deciphering capability of the system are improved.
