The growing importance of nonlinear circuits in electronic and mechatronic equipment has led to an increased interest in the ubiquitous presence of chaos in nonlinear circuits. These 29 articles survey chaos in circuits and systems, with a view towards suppressing chaos when harmful or, in a process called chaotification, enhancing existing chaos when it is beneficial. Specific topics include design methodology for autonomous chaotic oscillators, chaotic wandering in simple coupled chaotic circuits, chaotic neuro-computers, chaos in a pulse-type hardware neuron model, mechanisms for taming chaos by weak harmonic perturbations, and using nonlinear dynamics and chaos to solve signal processing tasks.
