    This paper presents a comprehensive taxonomy of so-called second order memory devices, which include charge-controlled memcapacitors and flux-controlled meminductors, among other novel circuit elements. These devices, which are classified according to their differential and state orders, are necessary to get a complete extension of the family of classical nonlinear circuit elements (resistors, capacitors, inductors) for all possible controlling variables. Using a fully nonlinear formalism, we obtain nondegeneracy conditions for a broad class of second order mem-circuits. This class of circuits is expected to yield a rich dynamic behavior; in this regard we explore certain bifurcation phenomena exhibited by a family of circuits including a charge-controlled memcapacitor and a flux-controlled meminductor, providing some directions for future research

    Port-Hamiltonian Formulation of Systems With Memory

    In this paper, we consider memristors, meminductors, and memcapacitors and their properties as port-Hamiltonian systems. The port-Hamiltonian formalism naturally arises from network modeling of physical systems in a variety of domains. Exposing the relation between the energy storage, dissipation, and interconnection structure,this framework underscores the physics of the system. One of the strong aspects of the port-Hamiltonian formalism is that a power-preserving interconnection between port-Hamiltonian systems results in another port-Hamiltonian system with composite energy, dissipation, and interconnection structure. This feature can advantageously be used to model, analyze, and simulate networks consisting of complex interconnections of both conventional and memory circuit elements. Furthermore, the port-Hamiltonian formalism naturally extends the fundamental properties of the memory elements beyond the realm of electrical circuits
