Figure 17.7 One-dimensional array of Chua’s circuit, composed of seven cells.

The moduli of the characteristic multipliers are represented as a function of the

coupling parameter C

+1

with C

−1

= 0.01, for the unstable symmetric limit cycle.

In this case all the phase shifts are equal to π. The system exhibits one unitary

multiplier, and six with modulus less than 1. Since the limit cycles are unstable,

the moduli of all the other 14 multipliers of the system are greater than 1.
