Abstract :
Recently a fourth circuit element, predicted four decades ago, has been discovered by HP researchers. This device, known as the memristor, is basically a resistance with memory that can be used as a tunable gain in control systems. In this paper the memristor experimental characteristic is modeled with a describing function and used to predict oscillations in closed loop systems with linear plants.
