In many cases, complex nonlinear functions have a higher probability for chaos producing, and correspondingly new bifurcations may be triggered in the dynamical system. Due to the difficulty in circuit implementation of complex nonlinear feedback, researchers often introduce simple nonlinear constraints to study the occurrence and evolution of chaos. In fact, the impact of complex nonlinear feedback on chaotic dynamics deserves further investigation. In this work, complex nonlinear feedback is introduced into an offset-boostable chaotic system as an example to observe and analyze its regulatory effect on the dynamics. Complex nonlinear feedback may destroy the property of symmetry of a system; therefore, we examine the evolution of chaotic attractors under the corresponding feedback and the functional transformation between bifurcation and non-bifurcation parameters as well. By fully utilizing the flexible configuration advantages of Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA), arbitrary complex nonlinear functions are implemented to verify the chaotic dynamics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17020212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,31]],"date-time":"2025-01-31T04:05:47Z","timestamp":1738296347000},"page":"212","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Chaos Regulation via Complex Nonlinear Feedback and Its Implementation Based on FPAA"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Jitong","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9932-0914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chunbiao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"School of Artifcial Intelligence, Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-8076-0048","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoliang","family":"Cen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6006-8731","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Chai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jinan Key Laboratory of Memristive Computing and Applications (JKLMCA), Qilu Institute of Technology, Jinnan 250200, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"926","DOI":"10.1016\/j.imavis.2006.02.021","article-title":"Image encryption using chaotic logistic map","volume":"24","author":"Pareek","year":"2006","journal-title":"Image Vis.
