Influence of the parasitics on the time delayed Chua's circuit

The time-delayed Chua's circuit (TDCC) can be considered as a paradigm for studying the effect of the parasitics on circuits described by difference equations. This paper discusses the effect of a small capacitor C on the dynamics of the TDCC through the theoretical analysis of the characteristic equation in each region of linearity. The main result is that any TDCC which exhibits the period-adding route to chaos for C=0, still continues to present this phenomenon even if a small capacitor C is added to the circuit.
