description The purpose of this paper was to propose a complete analysis and parameter estimations of a new simplified and highly nonlinear hafnium dioxide memristor model that is appropriate for high-frequency signals. For the simulations; a nonlinear window function previously offered by the author together with a highly nonlinear memristor model was used. This model was tuned according to an experimentally recorded current&#8722;voltage relationship of a HfO<sub>2</sub> memristor. This study offered an estimation of the optimal model parameters using a least squares algorithm in SIMULINK and a methodology for adjusting the model by varying its parameters overbroad ranges. The optimal values of the memristor model parameters were obtained after minimizing the error between the experimental and simulated current&#8722;voltage characteristics. A comparison of the obtained errors between the simulated and experimental current&#8722;voltage relationships was made. The error derived by the optimization algorithm was a little bit lower than that obtained by the used methodology. To avoid convergence problems; the step function in the considered model was replaced by a differentiable tangent hyperbolic function. A PSpice library model of the HfO<sub>2</sub> memristor based on its mathematical model was created. The considered model was successfully applied and tested in a multilayer memristor neural network with bridge memristor&#8722;resistor synapses
