About this Series
The series “Studies in Computational Intelligence” (SCI) publishes new develop-
mentsandadvancesinthevariousareasofcomputationalintelligence—quicklyand
with a high quality. The intent is to cover the theory, applications, and design
methods of computational intelligence, as embedded in the fields of engineering,
computer science, physics and life sciences, as well as the methodologies behind
them. The series contains monographs, lecture notes and edited volumes in
computational intelligence spanning the areas of neural networks, connectionist
systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence,
cellular automata, self-organizing systems, soft computing, fuzzy systems, and
hybrid intelligent systems. Of particular value to both the contributors and the
readership are the short publication timeframe and the worldwide distribution,
which enable both wide and rapid dissemination of research output.

Preface
About the Subject
Memristor (concatenation of MEMory ResISTOR), is the fourth fundamental
circuit element (joining the resistor, the capacitor and the inductor), predicted by
Leon Chua in 1971. This element represents one of today’s latest technological
achievements with a great number of applications. Memristor is a passive
two-terminal electronic device which behavior is described by a nonlinear consti-
tutive relation between the voltage drop at its terminal and the current flowing
throughthedevice.Butthereasonwhythememristorissubstantiallydifferentfrom
the other fundamental circuit elements is that, when the applied voltage is turned
off,itstillremembershowmuchvoltagewasappliedbeforeandforhowlong;thus
presenting memory of its past. However, this innovative device attracted most of
attention worldwide only after 2008 when its practical implementation was
announced by Hewlett-Packard, originating intense research activity ever since.
Memristors have brought a revolution in various scientific fields, as many
phenomena in systems, such as in thermistors, spintronic devices and molecules
couldbeexplainednowwiththeuseofthememristor.Also,electroniccircuitswith
memory elements could simulate processes typical of biological systems, such as
learning and associative memory and the adaptive behavior of unicellular organ-
isms. Furthermore, neuromorphic computing circuits with memristors can poten-
tially solve problems that are cumbersome or outright intractable by digital
computation.
Memristorshavebeenusedincellularneuralnetworks,forperforminganumber
of applications, such as logical operations, image processing operations, complex
behavior and higher brain functions, or in designing Boolean logic gates for the
AND, OR and NOT operations. In many well-known nonlinear circuits, the non-
linear element has been replaced by memristors and various interesting dynamical
phenomena like chaos and hidden attractors have been observed. Therefore, with
these wide range of applications, engineering aspects of memristor devices,
memristive-based circuits and systems design become significant important.
