Details

Starting from the origin, the blue curve shows I-V for , the red for , and the subsequent blue shows the I-V for . The black dots mark I-V for temporally equidistant points in the interval .

Snapshot 1: typical hysteresis loop; iff implies that a memristor is a purely dissipative element

Snapshot 2: typical I-V at low frequencies (high ) shows large regions of negative differential conductance ; this behavior is also induced by increasing the initial fraction of the low-resistivity region

Snapshot 3: the hysteresis is suppressed at high frequencies because the fraction of the low-resistivity region does not change significantly over the period for small
