New estimations for ultimate boundary and synchronization control for a disk dynamo system

We consider globally exponentially attractive sets and synchronization control for a disk dynamo system. First, based on generalized Lyapunov function theory and the extremum principle of function, we derive some new 4D ellipsoid estimations and a polydisk domain estimation of the globally exponentially attractive set of a 4D disk dynamo system without existence assumptions. Our results improve existing results on the globally exponentially attractive set as special cases and can lead to a series of new estimations. Second, we propose linear feedback control with a single input or two inputs to realize globally exponential synchronization of two 4D disk dynamo systems using inequality techniques. Some new sufficient algebraic criteria for the globally exponential synchronization of two 4D disk dynamo systems are obtained analytically. The controllers designed here have a simple structure and less conservation. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.

Chaos synchronization between two novel different hyperchaotic systems with unknown parameters

This work is devoted to investigating the synchronization between two novel different hyperchaotic systems with fully unknown parameters, i.e., an uncertain hyperchaotic Lorenz system and an uncertain hyperchaotic Lü system. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, a new adaptive controller with parameter update law is designed to synchronize these two hyperchaotic systems asymptotically and globally. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the effectiveness of the synchronization scheme.     

Dynamical behaviors of a new hyperchaotic system

Currently, chaotic systems and chaos‐based applications are commonly used in the engineering fields. One of the main structures used in these applications is chaotic control and synchronization. In this paper, the dynamical behaviors of a new hyperchaotic system are considered. Based on Lyapunov Theorem with differential and integral inequalities, the global exponential attractive sets and positively invariant sets are obtained. Furthermore, the rate of the trajectories is also obtained. The global exponential attractive sets of the system obtained in this paper also offer theoretical support to study chaotic control, chaotic synchronization for this system. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method is effective. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The function cascade synchronization scheme for discrete-time hyperchaotic systems

In this paper, the function cascade synchronization scheme is proposed to investigate the discrete-time hyperchaotic systems. By choosing some different error functions and with the aid of symbolic–numeric computation, the proposed scheme is applied to achieve the function cascade synchronization for two discrete-time hyperchaotic systems: the generalized Hénon map and the discrete-time Rössler system, respectively. Numerical simulations are used to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed technique.     

Achieving synchronization between the fractional-order hyperchaotic Novel and Chen systems via a new nonlinear control technique

In this work, we discuss the stability conditions for a nonlinear fractional-order hyperchaotic system. The fractional-order hyperchaotic Novel and Chen systems are introduced. The existence and uniqueness of solutions for two classes of fractional-order hyperchaotic Novel and Chen systems are investigated. On the basis of the stability conditions for nonlinear fractional-order hyperchaotic systems, we study synchronization between the proposed systems by using a new nonlinear control technique. The states of the fractional-order hyperchaotic Novel system are used to control the states of the fractional-order hyperchaotic Chen system. Numerical simulations are used to show the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme.     

Optimize design of adaptive synchronization controllers and parameter observers in different hyperchaotic systems

Based on the Lyapunov stability and adaptive synchronization theory, optimization design of adaptive controllers and parameter observers with controllable gain coefficient are investigated in detail. The linear errors of corresponding variables and parameters are used to construct different appropriate positive Lyapunov functions V and the parameter observers and adaptive controllers are approached analytically by simplifying the differential inequality dV/dt?0. Particularly, an optional gain coefficient is selected in the parameter observers and positive Lyapunov function, which decides the transient period to identify the unknown parameters and reach synchronization. The scheme is used to study the synchronization of two non-identical hyperchaotic Rössler systems. The theoretical and numerical results confirm that the four unknown parameters in the drive system are estimated exactly and the two hyperchaotic systems reach complete synchronization when the controllers and parameter observers work on the driven system. To confirm the model independence of this scheme, an alternative hyperchaotic system is investigated, whereby the results confirm that the five unknown parameters are identified rapidly and exactly, and that the two hyperchaotic systems reach complete synchronization as well.     

Linearly and nonlinearly bidirectionally coupled synchronization of hyperchaotic systems

To date, there have been many results about unidirectionally coupled synchronization of chaotic systems. However, much less work is reported on bidirectionally-coupled synchronization. In this paper, we investigate the synchronization of two bidirectionally coupled Chen hyperchaotic systems, which are coupled linearly and nonlinearly respectively. Firstly, linearly coupled synchronization of two hyperchaotic Chen systems is investigated, and a theorem on how to choose the coupling coefficients are developed to guarantee the global asymptotical synchronization of two coupled hyperchaotic systems. Analysis shows that the choice of the coupling coefficients relies on the bound of the chaotic system. Secondly, the nonlinearly coupled synchronization is studied; a sufficient condition for the locally asymptotical synchronization is derived, which is independent of the bound of the hyperchaotic system. Finally, numerical simulations are included to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the developed theorems.

Switched modified function projective synchronization of hyperchaotic Qi system with uncertain parameters

This work is involved with switched modified function projective synchronization of two identical Qi hyperchaotic systems using adaptive control method. Switched synchronization of chaotic systems in which a state variable of the drive system synchronize with a different state variable of the response system is a promising type of synchronization as it provides greater security in secure communication. Modified function projective synchronization with the unpredictability of scaling functions can enhance security. Recently formulated hyperchaotic Qi system in the hyperchaotic mode has an extremely broad frequency bandwidth of high magnitudes, verifying its unusual random nature and indicating its great potential for some relevant engineering applications such as secure communications. By Lyapunove stability theory, the adaptive control law and the parameter update law are derived to make the state of two chaotic systems modified function projective synchronized. Synchronization under the effect of noise is also considered. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive controllers.     

Tracking the state of the delay hyperchaotic Lü system using the coullet chaotic system via a single controller

In this article, a partial synchronization scheme is proposed based on Lyapunov stability theory to track the signal of the delay hyperchaotic Lü system using the Coullet system based on only one single controller. The proposed tracking control design has two advantages: only one controller is adopted in our approach and it can allow us to drive the hyperchaotic system to a simple chaotic system even with uncertain parameters. Numerical simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed partial synchronization scheme. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Adaptive generalized function projective lag synchronization of different chaotic systems with fully uncertain parameters

In this paper, a novel projective synchronization scheme called adaptive generalized function projective lag synchronization (AGFPLS) is proposed. In the AGFPLS method, the states of two different chaotic systems with fully uncertain parameters are asymptotically lag synchronized up to a desired scaling function matrix. By means of the Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive controller with corresponding parameter update rule is designed for achieving AGFPLS between two diverse chaotic systems and estimating the unknown parameters. This technique is employed to realize AGFPLS between uncertain Lü chaotic system and uncertain Liu chaotic system, and between Chen hyperchaotic system and Lorenz hyperchaotic system with fully uncertain parameters, respectively. Furthermore, AGFPLS between two different uncertain chaotic systems can still be achieved effectively with the existence of noise perturbation. The corresponding numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the validity and robustness of the presented synchronization method.     

Complex complete synchronization of two nonidentical hyperchaotic complex nonlinear systems

In this paper, we introduce the definition of complex complete synchronization (CCS) of hyperchaotic complex nonlinear systems that have not been introduced recently in the literature. This type of synchronization can study only for complex nonlinear systems. On the basis of Lyapunov function, a scheme is designed to achieve the CCS of two nonidentical hyperchaotic attractors of these systems. The effectiveness of the obtained results is illustrated by a simulation example. Numerical results are plotted to show state variables, modules errors, and phases errors of these hyperchaotic attractors after synchronization to prove that CCS is achieved.

Cascades-based synchronization of hyperchaotic systems: Application to Chen systems

We discuss the cascaded-based controlled synchronization method for hyperchaotic systems. The control approach is based on analysis tools for cascaded time-varying systems. That is, the closed-loop system takes the form of two subsystems which are interconnected in a manner that the state of one system enters into another but without feedback loop. The advantage of such construction is that the controller is largely simplified relative to other design methods such as backstepping. We apply the method to Chen’s hyperchaotic system and show that global synchronization is achieved via linear control. Also, we assume that only three instead of four control inputs are available. The method is tested in numerical simulations.     

Modified projective synchronization of uncertain fractional order hyperchaotic systems

Base on the stability theory of fractional order system, this work mainly investigates modified projective synchronization of two fractional order hyperchaotic systems with unknown parameters. A controller is designed for synchronization of two different fractional order hyperchaotic systems. The method is successfully applied to modified projective synchronization between fractional order Rössler hyperchaotic system and fractional order Chen hyperchaotic system, and numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.     

Function vector synchronization based on fuzzy control for uncertain chaotic systems with dead‐zone nonlinearities

In this article, a fuzzy adaptive control scheme is designed to achieve a function vector synchronization behavior between two identical or different chaotic (or hyperchaotic) systems in the presence of unknown dynamic disturbances and input nonlinearities (dead‐zone and sector nonlinearities). This proposed synchronization scheme can be considered as a generalization of many existing projective synchronization schemes (namely the function projective synchronization, the modified projective synchronization, generalized projective synchronization, and so forth) in the sense that the master and slave outputs are assumed to be some general function vectors. To practically deal with the input nonlinearities, the adaptive fuzzy control system is designed in a variable‐structure framework. The fuzzy systems are used to appropriately approximate the uncertain nonlinear functions. A Lyapunov approach is used to prove the boundedness of all signals of the closed‐loop control system as well as the exponential convergence of the corresponding synchronization errors to an adjustable region. The synchronization between two identical systems (chaotic satellite systems) and two different systems (chaotic Chen and Lü systems) are taken as two illustrative examples to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Chaos synchronization of a new hyperchaotic system

In this paper, two kinds of synchronization schemes for a new hyperchaotic system are presented. Firstly, on the basis of stability criterion of linear system, synchronization is achieved with the help of the active control theory. Secondly, a nonlinear controller is designed according to Lyapunov stability theory to assure that synchronization can be achieved. Furthermore, an adaptive control approach for synchronization of uncertain hyperchaotic systems is proposed. Finally numerical simulations are provided to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the developed methods.     

Estimating the ultimate bound and positively invariant set for the hyperchaotic Lorenz–Haken system

To estimate the ultimate bound and positively invariant set for a dynamic system is an important but quite challenging task in general. In this paper, we attempt to investigate the ultimate bound and positively invariant set for the hyperchaotic Lorenz–Haken system using a technique combining the generalized Lyapunov function theory and optimization. For the Lorenz–Haken system, we derive a four-dimensional ellipsoidal ultimate bound and positively invariant set. Furthermore, the two-dimensional parabolic ultimate bound with respect to x–z is established. Finally, numerical results to estimate the ultimate bound are also presented for verification. The results obtained in this paper are important and useful in control, synchronization of hyperchaos and their applications.     

Projective synchronization between different fractional‐order hyperchaotic systems with uncertain parameters using proposed modified adaptive projective synchronization technique

In the present article, the authors have proposed a modified projective adaptive synchronization technique for fractional‐order chaotic systems. The adaptive projective synchronization controller and identification parameters law are developed on the basis of Lyapunov direct stability theory. The proposed method is successfully applied for the projective synchronization between fractional‐order hyperchaotic Lü system as drive system and fractional‐order hyperchaotic Lorenz chaotic system as response system. A comparison between the effects on synchronization time due to the presence of fractional‐order time derivatives for modified projective synchronization method and proposed modified adaptive projective synchronization technique is the key feature of the present article. Numerical simulation results, which are carried out using Adams–Boshforth–Moulton method show that the proposed technique is effective, convenient and also faster for projective synchronization of fractional‐order nonlinear dynamical systems.
