The Memristor
In this paper it’ll be specificed and detailed developing about the equation
that modeling the electrical device "memristor".

a)
Being the model equation of memristor

d M (q) M (q)
M (q) = r(1 − )(1 − ) (1)
dq Ron Rof f

Then, consider the following development:

1
−→ M (q) M (q)
dM (q) = rdq (2)
(1 − Ron )(1 − Rof f )

R
R
−→ (M (q)−Ron )(M (q)−Rof f ) dM (q) = rdq/ ()

con R = Ron Rof f

R dM (q) rq
−→ (M (q)−Ron )(M (q)−Rof f ) = R

then, according to partial fractions method:

1 A B
−→ (M (q)−Ron )(M (q)−Rof f ) = M (q)−Ron + M (q)−Rof f

1
 −→ 1 = A(M (q) − Rof f ) + B(M (q) − Ron )
1 1
if M (q) = Rof f −→ 1 = B(Rof f − Ron ) −→ B = Rof f −Ron = b

1 1
if M (q) = Ron −→ 1 = A(Ron − Rof f ) −→ A = Ron −Rof f = a

1
Consider a = − 1b . Then:

rq
1
−→ ( a1 M (q)−R 1 1
R
on
+ b M (q)−Rof f )dM (q) = R

If u = M (q) − Ron −→ du = dM (q) y v = M (q) − Rof f −→ dv = dM (q),

then, solving the following integrals:

rq
−→ a1 ln(u) + 1b ln(v) = R / exp
()

1 1 rq 1 1 1 rq
u a v b = exp R −→ u a v − a = ( uv ) a = exp R
M (q)−Ron arq
−→ M (q)−Rof f = exp R

therefore, it is concluded that

(Ron −Rof f )rq

Ron − Rof f exp Ron Rof f

M (q) = (Ron −Rof f )rq

(3)
1 − exp Ron Rof f

Considering to equation (3)

R rq rq
Ron rq of f
− Ron exp Rof f
exp Ron Rof f R of f = rq
exp Ron

Thus

rq
Rof f
Ron − Rof f exp rq
exp Ron
M (q) = rq (4)
Rof f
exp
1− rq
exp Ron

Eventually:

b)
rq
exp ∞
Ron − ∞ rq
exp Ron
lı́m M (q) = rq = −∞ (5)
Rof f →∞ exp ∞
1− rq
exp Ron

c)
rq
Rof f
0 − Rof f exp rq
exp 0
lı́m M (q) = rq = Ron (6)
Ron →0 Rof f
exp
1− rq
exp 0

d)
Considering A = 1, ω = 1, r = 1, Ron = 1 y Rof f = 2

Rt
i(t) = cos(t) ⇒ q(t) = 0
i(τ )dτ = sin(t)
Thus

sin(t)
1 − 2 exp− 2
M (t) = sin(t)
(7)
1 − exp− 2

i(t) = cos(t) (8)

1
v(t) = M (t)i(t) = cos(t)[1 − sin(t)
(9)
exp 2 −1

Finally, with help of mathematical software Matlab, it’s obtained the follo-
wing graphics, according to behaviour of v(t) v/s t y v(t) v/s i(t)
