Complex projective synchronization in coupled chaotic complex dynamical systems

In previous papers, the projective factors are always chosen as real numbers, real matrices, or even real-valued functions, which means the coupled systems evolve in the same or inverse direction simultaneously. However, in many practical situations, the drive-response systems may evolve in different directions with a constant intersection angle. Therefore, the projective synchronization with respect to a complex factor, called complex projective synchronization (CPS), should be taken into consideration. In this paper, based on Lyapunov stability theory, three typical chaotic complex dynamical systems are considered and the corresponding controllers are designed to achieve the complex projective synchronization. Further, an adaptive control method is adopted to design a universal controller for partially linear systems. Numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Adaptive impulsive synchronization of uncertain drive-response complex-variable chaotic systems

In this paper, impulsive synchronization of drive-response complex-variable chaotic systems is investigated. The drive-response systems with known parameters is considered via impulsive control and adaptive scheme as well as systems with unknown parameters. Noticeably, adaptive strategy is adopted to relax the restriction on the impulsive interval, and the system parameters need not to be known beforehand. According to the Lyapunov stability theory, some synchronization criteria are derived and verified by several numerical simulations.

The numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed synchronization criteria.     

Finite-time real combination synchronization of three complex-variable chaotic systems with unknown parameters via sliding mode control

The problem of real combination synchronization between three complex-variable chaotic systems with unknown parameters is investigated by nonsingular terminal sliding mode control in a finite time. Based on the adaptive laws and finite-time stability theory, a nonsingular terminal sliding mode control is designed to ensure the real combination synchronization of three complex-variable chaotic systems in a given finite time. It is theoretically gained that the introduced sliding mode technique has finite-time convergence and stability in both arriving and sliding mode phases. Numerical simulation results are given to show the effectiveness and reliability of the finite-time real combination synchronization.     

Analyzing projective synchronization on different scaling factors in a drive-response coupling dynamical network with time-varying delays

In this paper, projective synchronization of drive-response coupled dynamical network with delayed system nodes and coupling time-varying delay is investigated via impulsive control, where the scaling factors are different from each other. Different controllers are designed to achieve the projective synchronization: only impulsive control is used when the scaling factors need extra limitation, while an extra controller, that is, a simple linear feedback controller, is added when the scaling factors don??t need extra limitation. Based on the stability analysis of the impulsive functional differential equation, the sufficient conditions for achieving projective synchronization of such coupled network are established, and an estimate of the upper bound of impulsive intervals ensuring global exponential synchronization of drive-response coupled dynamical network is also given. Numerical examples on the time-delay Lorenz chaotic systems are presented finally to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed synchronization criteria.     

Pinning synchronization of complex directed dynamical networks under decentralized adaptive strategy for aperiodically intermittent control

In this paper, the problem of global synchronization for complex directed dynamical networks via adaptive aperiodically intermittent pinning control is studied. By constructing a piecewise Lyapunov function, some sufficient conditions to guarantee global synchronization are derived based on the analytical technique and theory of series with nonnegative terms. Different from previous works, the adaptive intermittent pinning control is aperiodic with non-fixed both control period and control width, and moreover, the adaptive approach is decentralized relying only on the state information of the controlled node. Hence, the adaptive intermittent pinning control strategy proposed in this paper is more practically applicable than those in previous works. Additionally, it is noted that the derived synchronization criteria are dependent on the control rates, but not the control widths or the control periods, which makes the theoretical results are less conservative than the corresponding results given in the existing works. A numerical example is finally provided to illustrate the validity of our theoretical results.     

On pinning synchronization of general coupled networks

The synchronization in general coupled networks subjected to pinning control is investigated. Some generic stability criteria based on the Lyapunov approach are derived for such general controlled networks, which guarantee that the whole network can be pinned to a synchronization state by placing feedback control on only a small fraction of nodes. A real network of television audience flows across 28 satellite channels in China and a representative BA scale-free network composed of chaotic systems are shown, respectively, for illustration and verification. It is found that pinning stability can be improved via increasing pinning density and/or pinning strength for complete diagonal inner coupling.

Specially, the coupling matrix in this model is not assumed to be symmetric, diffusive or irreducible. Some criteria and corollaries are, respectively, derived for the projective synchronization and lag synchronization between the presented impulsively controlled complex networks. Finally, the results are illustrated by complex networks composed of the chaotic Lorenz systems. All the numerical simulations verify the correctness of the theoretical results.     

Pinning adaptive synchronization of complex dynamical network with multi-links

Networks with multi-links are universal in the real world such as communication networks, transport networks, and social networks. It is important for us to investigate the control of complex dynamical network with multi-links. In this paper, both local and global stabilities of dynamical network with multi-links are analyzed by applying adaptive control theory and mathematical tools, and some new criteria are proposed to ensure the pinning synchronization. We find that the number of pinned nodes satisfies an inequality for synchronization. Additionally, we solve the problem of how much the coupling strength we need to achieve network synchronization with one pinned node in the network system with multi-links. Finally, numerical examples are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Adaptive generalized function projective synchronization of uncertain chaotic complex systems

The complex nonlinear systems appear in many important fields of physics and engineering, which are very useful for cryptography and secure communication. This paper investigates adaptive generalized function projective synchronization (AGFPS) between two different dimensional chaotic complex systems with fully or partially unknown parameters via both reduced order and increased order. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem and adaptive control technique, a general adaptive controller with corresponding parameter update rule is constructed to achieve AGFPS between two nonidentical chaotic complex systems with distinct orders, and identify the unknown parameters simultaneously. This scheme is then applied to obtain AGFPS between the hyperchaotic complex Lü system and the chaotic complex Lorenz system with fully unknown parameters, and between the uncertain chaotic complex Chen system and the uncertain hyperchaotic complex Lorenz system, respectively. Corresponding simulations results are performed to show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed synchronization method.

Adaptive synchronization of T-S fuzzy complex networks with time-varying delays via the pinning control method

In this paper, the synchronization of Takagi–Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy complex networks with time-varying delays and adaptive coupling weights is studied. Using the pinning control and adaptive feedback strategy, a new general class of complex networks with fuzzy logic is proposed and its synchronization is investigated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The adaptive update law of coupling weight is only related to the dynamical behaviors of directly connected nodes. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, it is proven that the synchronization of the addressed network can be achieved under those control strategies. Finally, two numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness of our theoretical results.     

Adaptive exponential cluster synchronization in colored community networks via aperiodically intermittent pinning control

This paper investigates the problem of pinning cluster synchronization for colored community networks via adaptive aperiodically intermittent control. Firstly, a general colored community network model is proposed, where the isolated nodes can interact through different kinds of connections in different communities and the interactions between different pair of communities can also be different, and moreover, the nodes in different communities can have different state dimensions. Then, an adaptive aperiodically intermittent control strategy combined with pinning scheme is developed to realize cluster synchronization of such colored community network. By introducing a novel piecewise continuous auxiliary function, some globally exponential cluster synchronization criteria are rigorously derived according to Lyapunov stability theory and piecewise analysis approach. Based on the derived criteria, a guideline to illustrate which nodes in each community should be preferentially pinned is given. It is noted that the adaptive intermittent pinning control is aperiodic, in which both control width and control period are allowed to be variable. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results obtained.

In this paper, the synchronization for time-delayed complex networks with adaptive coupling weights is studied. A pinning strategy and a local adaptive scheme to determine coupling weights and feedback gains are proposed. It is noted that our control strategies only rely on some local information other than the global information of the whole network. Finally, the developed techniques are applied to two complex networks which are respectively synchronized to an unstable equilibrium point and a chaotic attractor.     

A new chaos synchronization scheme and its application to secure communications

Under the framework of drive-response systems, a new method of complete dislocated general hybrid projective synchronization (CDGHPS) is proposed. In this design, every state variable of drive system does not equal the corresponding state variable of response system, but equal other ones of response system while evolving in time. Especially, complete dislocated synchronization, dislocated anti-synchronization and projective dislocated synchronization can be considered all as the special cases of the proposed method. In addition, this method is applied to secure communication through chaotic masking, the unpredictability of the scaling factor in projective synchronization can additionally enhance the security of communication. In consideration of random white noise, we study the random white noise perturbing for the transmission of an information signal. Finally, eliminate noise using wavelet transform. Numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness of these methods.

Finally, two examples and their numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed synchronization schemes.
