The mathematical expression of this memristor has an absolute value term, so it is called an absolute voltage-controlled memristor. The proposed memristor is locally active, which is proved by its DC V\u2013I (Voltage\u2013Current) plot. A simple three-order Wien-bridge chaotic circuit without inductor is constructed on the basis of the presented memristor. The dynamical behaviors of the simple chaotic system are analyzed in this paper. The main properties of this system are coexisting attractors and multistability. Furthermore, an analog circuit of this chaotic system is realized by the Multisim software. The multistability of the proposed system can enlarge the key space in encryption, which makes the encryption effect better. Therefore, the proposed chaotic system can be used as a pseudo-random sequence generator to provide key sequences for digital encryption systems. Thus, the chaotic system is discretized and implemented by Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) test and Approximate Entropy analysis of the proposed chaotic system are conducted in this paper.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e21070678","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,11]],"date-time":"2019-07-11T11:28:28Z","timestamp":1562844508000},"page":"678","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Coexisting Attractors and Multistability in a Simple Memristive Wien-Bridge Chaotic Circuit"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8226-367X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yixuan","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Robot &amp; Intelligent Technology of Shandong Province, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2017-6030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fang","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Robot &amp; Intelligent Technology of Shandong Province, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuxia","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Robot &amp; Intelligent Technology of Shandong Province, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"507","DOI":"10.1109\/TCT.1971.1083337","article-title":"Memristor-the missing circuit element","volume":"18","author":"Chua","year":"1971","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
