This paper proposes a nonlinear oscillator network model for gray-level image segmentation suitable for massively parallel VLSI implementation. The model performs image segmentation in parallel using nonlinear analog dynamics. Because of the limited calculation precision in VLSI implementation, it is important to estimate the calculation precision required for proper operation. By numerical sim...

In this paper, a new modified Chua oscillator is introduced. The original Chua oscillator is well known for its simple implementation and mathematical modeling. A modification of the oscillator is proposed in order to facilitate the synchronization and the encryption and decryption scheme. The modification consists in changing the nonlinear term of the original oscillator to a smooth and bounde...

A new class of time-integrators is presented for strongly nonlinear dynamical systems. These algorithms are far superior to the currently common time integrators in computational efficiency and accuracy. These three algorithms are based on a local variational iteration method applied over a finite interval of time. By using Chebyshev polynomials as trial functions andDirac–Delta functions as th...

The dynamics of an electret-based, capacitive, vibration-to-electric micro-converter (energy scavenger) is described by a set of ODEs where a second-order equation is coupled to two first-order equations through strongly-nonlinear terms. The nonlinear regimes of forced oscillations are analyzed with a semi-analytical approach, finding that the system exhibits features typical of Duffing-like no...

Introduction: In order to recognize the image of a natural scene, coherent patterns should be extracted and processed separately for reducing the complexity of the problem, because several objects usually exist in a natural scene. D. L. Wang et al. proposed a nonlinear oscillator network model called locally excitatory, globally inhibitory oscillator networks (LEGION) for image segmentation [1]...

Some recently developed analytical methods namely; homotopy analysis method, homotopy perturbation method and modified homotopy perturbation method are applied successfully for solving strongly nonlinear oscillators. The analytical results obtained by using HAM are compared with those of HPM, mHPM as well as with numerical results. In this study, different examples with strong nonlinearity are ...
