Chaos synchronization by variable strength linear coupling and Lyapunov function derivative in series form

A new general strategy to achieve chaos synchronization by variable strength linear coupling without another active control is proposed. They give the criteria of chaos synchronization for two identical chaotic systems and two different chaotic dynamic systems with variable strength linear coupling. In this method, the time derivative of Lyapunov function in series form is firstly used. Lorenz system, Duffing system, Rössler system and Hyper-Rössler system are presented as simulated examples.     

Some simple global synchronization criterions for coupled time-varying chaotic systems

Based on the Lyapunov stabilization theory and matrix measure, this paper proposes some simple generic criterions of global chaos synchronization between two coupled time-varying chaotic systems from a unidirectional linear error feedback coupling approach. These simple criterions are applicable to some typical chaotic systems with different types of nonlinearity, such as the original Chua’s circuit and the Rössler chaotic system. The coupling parameters are determined according to the new criterion so as to ensure the coupled systems’ global chaos synchronization.     

Dual synchronization based on two different chaotic systems: Lorenz systems and Rössler systems

In this paper, we improve and extend the works of Liu and Davids [Dual synchronization of chaos, Phys. Rev. E 61 (2000) 2176–2179] which only introduce the dual synchronization of 1-D discrete chaotic systems. The dual synchronization of two different 3-D continuous chaotic systems, Lorenz systems and Rössler systems, is discussed. And a sufficient condition of dual synchronization about the two different chaotic systems is obtained. Theories and numerical simulations show the possibility of dual synchronization and the effectiveness of the method.     

The function cascade synchronization method and applications

In this paper, a new function cascade synchronization method of chaos system is proposed to achieve generalized projective synchronization for chaotic systems. Based on Laypunov stability, the proposed synchronization technique is applied to three famous chaotic systems: the unified chaotic system, Liu system and Rössler system, which can make the states of two identical chaotic systems asymptotically synchronized by choosing different special suitable error functions. Numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness.     

A new scheme of general hybrid projective complete dislocated synchronization

Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, a new type of chaos synchronization, general hybrid projective complete dislocated synchronization (GHPCDS), is proposed under the framework of drive-response systems. The difference between the GHPCDS and complete synchronization is that every state variable of drive system does not equal the corresponding state variable, but equal other ones of response system while evolving in time. The GHPCDS includes complete dislocated synchronization, dislocated anti-synchronization and projective dislocated synchronization as its special item. As examples, the Lorenz chaotic system, Rössler chaotic system, hyperchaotic Chen system and hyperchaotic Lü system are discussed. Numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness of these methods.     

A note on phase synchronization in coupled chaotic fractional order systems

The dynamic behaviors of fractional order systems have received increasing attention in recent years. This paper addresses the reliable phase synchronization problem between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. An active nonlinear feedback control scheme is constructed to achieve phase synchronization between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. We investigated the necessary conditions for fractional order Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems to exhibit chaotic attractor similar to their integer order counterpart. Then, based on the stability results of fractional order systems, sufficient conditions for phase synchronization of the fractional models of Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems are derived. The synchronization scheme that is simple and global enables synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems to be achieved without the computation of the conditional Lyapunov exponents. Numerical simulations are performed to assess the performance of the presented analysis.     

On control and synchronization in chaotic and hyperchaotic systems via linear feedback control

This paper presents the control and synchronization of chaos by designing linear feedback controllers. The linear feedback control problem for nonlinear systems has been formulated under optimal control theory viewpoint. Asymptotic stability of the closed-loop nonlinear system is guaranteed by means of a Lyapunov function which can clearly be seen to be the solution of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation thus guaranteeing both stability and optimality. The formulated theorem expresses explicitly the form of minimized functional and gives the sufficient conditions that allow using the linear feedback control for nonlinear system. The numerical simulations were provided in order to show the effectiveness of this method for the control of the chaotic Rössler system and synchronization of the hyperchaotic Rössler system.     

Synchronization in complex networks with distinct chaotic nodes

We present an approach to the chaos synchronization of complex networks with distinct nodes. The chaotic synchronization is achieved by adding a derivative coupling term in the network equation. We assume that node in networks are different and are given by the Lorenz, Rössler, Chen and Sprott chaotic systems. The derivative term is capable to induce the synchronous behavior in the network. Moreover such a coupling leads the global behavior to a chaotic attractor. We found that without derivative coupling the network is leaded only to an equilibrium point or a limit cycle. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the result. Complementary the network synchrony can be chaotic in presence of the derivative coupling.     

A simple global synchronization criterion for coupled chaotic systems

Based on the Lyapunov stabilization theory and Gerschgorin theorem, a simple generic criterion is derived for global synchronization of two coupled chaotic systems with a unidirectional linear error feedback coupling. This simple criterion is applicable to a large class of chaotic systems, where only a few algebraic inequalities are involved. To demonstrate the efficiency of design, the suggested approach is applied to some typical chaotic systems with different types of nonlinearities, such as the original Chua’s circuit, the modified Chua’s circuit with a sine function, and the Rössler chaotic system. It is proved that these synchronizations are ensured by suitably designing the coupling parameters.     

Two theorems of generalized unsynchronization for coupled chaotic systems

Generalized chaos synchronization has been widely studied and many control methods have been presented, but up to now no criterion has been given for generalized unsynchronization. The generalized unsynchronization means that the state variables of two coupled chaotic systems cannot approach generalized synchronization. In this paper, we propose two theorems which give the criteria of generalized unsynchronization for two different chaotic dynamic systems with whatever large strength of linear coupling. Two simulated examples are also given.     

Global synchronization criterion and adaptive synchronization for new chaotic system

This paper proposes two schemes of synchronization of two four-scorll chaotic attractor, a simple global synchronization and adaptive synchronization in the presence of unknown system parameters. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and matrix measure, a simple generic criterion is derived for global synchronization of four-scorll chaotic attractor system with a unidirectional linear error feedback coupling. This methods are applicable to a large class of chaotic systems where only a few algebraic inequalities are involved. Numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization method.     

Chaos control for Willamowski–Rössler model of chemical reactions

Real systems evolving towards complex state encounter chaotic behavior. This behavior is very important in chemical processes or in biological structures because it defines the direction of the evolution of the system. From this point of view, the capability of deliberate control of these phenomena has a great practical impact despite the fact that it is very difficult; this is the reason why theoretical models are useful in these situations. In order to obtain chaos control in chemical reactions, the analysis of the dynamics of Willamowski–Rössler system involving the synchronization of two Minimal Willamowski–Rössler (MWR) systems based on the adaptive feedback method of control is presented in this work. As opposed to previous studies where in order to obtain synchronization 3 controllers were used, implying from a practical point of view the control of the concentrations of three chemical species, in this study we showed that the use of just one is sufficient which in practice is important as controlling the concentration of a single chemical species would be much easier. We also showed that the transient time until synchronization depends on initial conditions of two systems, the strength and number of the controllers and we attempted to identify the best conditions for a practical synchronization.     

Chaos synchronization using single variable feedback based on backstepping method

In recent years, backstepping method has been developed in the field of nonlinear control, such as controller, observer and output regulation. In this paper, an effective backstepping design is applied to chaos synchronization. There are some advantages in this method for synchronizing chaotic systems, such as (a) the synchronization error is exponential convergent; (b) only one variable information of the master system is needed; (c) it presents a systematic procedure for selecting a proper controller. Numerical simulations for the Chua's circuit and the Rössler system demonstrate that this method is very effective.     

Multivalued synchronization by Poincaré coupling

This work presents multivalued chaotic synchronization via coupling based on the Poincaré plane. The coupling is carried out by an underdamped signal, triggered every crossing event of the trajectory of the master system through a previously defined Poincaré plane. A master–slave system is explored, and the synchronization between the systems is detected via the auxiliary system approach and the maximum conditional Lyapunov exponent. Due to the response to specific conditions two phenomena may be obtained: univalued and multivalued synchronization. Since the Lyapunov exponent is not enough to detect these two phenomena, the distance between the pieces of trajectories of the slave and auxiliary systems with different initial conditions is also used as a tool for the detection of multivalued synchronization. Computer simulations using the benchmark chaotic systems of Lorenz and Rössler are used to exemplify the approach proposed.     

Generations and mechanisms of multi-stripe chaotic attractors of fractional order dynamic system

In this paper, the generations of multi-stripe chaotic attractors of fractional order system are considered. The original fractional order chaotic attractors can be turned into a pattern with multiple “parallel” or “ rectangular” stripes by employing certain simple periodic nonlinear functions. The relationships between the parameters relate to the periodic functions and the shape of the generated attractors are analyzed. Theoretical investigations about the underlying mechanisms of the parallel striped attractors of fractional order system are presented, with the fractional order Lorenz, Rössler and Chua’s systems as examples. Moreover, the periodic doubling striped route to chaos of fractional order Rössler system and maximum Lyaponov exponent calculations are also given.     

Synchronization analysis of complex‐Variable chaotic systems with discontinuous unidirectional coupling

This article is concerned with the problem of synchronization between two uncertain complex‐variable chaotic systems with parameters perturbation and discontinuous unidirectional coupling. Based on the stability theory and comparison theorem of differential equations, some sufficient conditions for the complete synchronization and generalized synchronization are obtained. The theoretical results show that the two uncertain complex‐variable chaotic systems with discontinuous unidirectional coupling can achieve synchronization if the time‐average coupling strength is large enough. Finally, numerical examples are examined to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the analytical results. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 343–355, 2016

The example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed result.     

Chaos and chaos synchronization for a non-autonomous rotational machine systems

Chaos and chaos synchronization of the centrifugal flywheel governor system are studied in this paper. By mechanics analyzing, the dynamical equation of the centrifugal flywheel governor system is established. Because of the non-linear terms of the system, the system exhibits both regular and chaotic motions. The characteristic of chaotic attractors of the system is presented by the phase portraits and power spectra. The evolution from Hopf bifurcation to chaos is shown by the bifurcation diagrams and a series of Poincaré sections under different sets of system parameters, and the bifurcation diagrams are verified by the related Lyapunov exponent spectra. This letter addresses control for the chaos synchronization of feedback control laws in two coupled non-autonomous chaotic systems with three different coupling terms, which is demonstrated and verified by Lyapunov exponent spectra and phase portraits. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.     

Chaos control and generalized projective synchronization of heavy symmetric chaotic gyroscope systems via Gaussian radial basis adaptive variable structure control

This paper proposes the chaos control and the generalized projective synchronization methods for heavy symmetric gyroscope systems via Gaussian radial basis adaptive variable structure control. Because of the nonlinear terms of the gyroscope system, the system exhibits chaotic motions. Occasionally, the extreme sensitivity to initial states in a system operating in chaotic mode can be very destructive to the system because of unpredictable behavior. In order to improve the performance of a dynamic system or avoid the chaotic phenomena, it is necessary to control a chaotic system with a periodic motion beneficial for working with a particular condition. As chaotic signals are usually broadband and noise like, synchronized chaotic systems can be used as cipher generators for secure communication. This paper presents chaos synchronization of two identical chaotic motions of symmetric gyroscopes. In this paper, the switching surfaces are adopted to ensure the stability of the error dynamics in variable structure control. Using the neural variable structure control technique, control laws are established which guarantees the chaos control and the generalized projective synchronization of unknown gyroscope systems. In the neural variable structure control, Gaussian radial basis functions are utilized to on-line estimate the system dynamic functions. Also, the adaptation laws of the on-line estimator are derived in the sense of Lyapunov function. Thus, the unknown gyro systems can be guaranteed to be asymptotically stable. Also, the proposed method can achieve the control objectives. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the proposed control and synchronization methods. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methods is discussed.     

Optimal synchronization of Rössler system with complete uncertain parameters

The paper discusses the optimal control for the chaos synchronization of Rössler systems with complete uncertain parameters during finite and infinite time intervals. Based on the Liapunov–Bellman technique, optimal control laws are derived from the conditions that ensure asymptotic stability of the error dynamical system and minimizes the cost transfer of this system from arbitrary state to its equilibrium state. The derived control laws make the states of two identical Rössler systems asymptotically synchronized. Some special cases are introduced. Important numerical simulation is included to show the effectiveness of the optimal synchronization technique.
