Since the concept of discrete memristor was proposed, more and more scholars began to study this topic. At present, most of the works on the discrete memristor are devoted to the mathematical modeling and circuit implementation, but the research on its synchronization control has not received much attention. This paper focuses on the parameter identification for the discrete memristive chaotic map, and a modified intelligent optimization algorithm named adaptive differential evolution algorithm is proposed. To deal with the complex behaviors of hyperchaos and coexisting attractors of the considered discrete memristive chaotic maps, the identification objective function adopts two special parts: time sequences and return maps. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has the best performance among the six existing algorithms, and it can still accurately identify the parameters of the original system under noise interference.
