Theory and Applications of Discontinuous State Feedback Generating Chaos for Linear Systems

We investigate a kind of chaos generating technique on a type of n-dimensional linear differential systems by adding feedback control items under a discontinuous state. This method is checked with some examples of numeric simulation. A constructive theorem is proposed for generalized synchronization related to the above chaotic system.     

Synchronization in coupled nonidentical incommensurate fractional-order systems

Synchronization of fractional-order nonlinear systems has received considerable attention for many research activities in recent years. In this Letter, we consider the synchronization between two nonidentical fractional-order systems. Based on the open-plus-closed-loop control method, a general coupling applied to the response system is proposed for synchronizing two nonidentical incommensurate fractional-order systems. We also derive a local stability criterion for such synchronization behavior by utilizing the stability theory of linear incommensurate fractional-order differential equations. Feasibility of the proposed coupling scheme is illustrated through numerical simulations of a limit cycle system, a chaotic system and a hyperchaotic system.     

Stability criterion for synchronization of chaotic systems using linear feedback control

This Letter introduces linear balanced feedback control scheme to design controller for the synchronization of two identical chaotic systems based on Lyapunov stability theory and constrained extreme approach. The technique is applied to synchronizing two identical four-scroll chaotic systems and guiding balanced feedback gains design. In accordance with the result of the analysis, an adaptive control scheme is proposed for chaos synchronization when the parametric variations of the response system are uncertain. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme are verified via numerical simulations.     

General methods for modified projective synchronization of hyperchaotic systems with known or unknown parameters

This work is concerned with the general methods for modified projective synchronization of hyperchaotic systems. A systematic method of active control is developed to synchronize two hyperchaotic systems with known parameters. Moreover, by combining the adaptive control and linear feedback methods, general sufficient conditions for the modified projective synchronization of identical or different chaotic systems with fully unknown or partially unknown parameters are presented. Meanwhile, the speed of parameters identification can be regulated by adjusting adaptive gain matrix. Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Adaptive-impulsive synchronization in drive-response networks of continuous systems and its application

Based on the comparison theorem for the stability of impulsive control system, adaptive-impulsive synchronization in drive-response networks of continuous systems with time-delay and non-time-delay is investigated. And the continuous control input, the simple updated laws and a linear impulsive controller are proposed. Moreover, two numerical examples are presented to verify the effectiveness and correctness of the theorem, using the energy resource system and Lü's system as the nodes of the networks.     

How many parameters can be identified by adaptive synchronization in chaotic systems?

Five interesting experiments have been done for a class of chaos synchronization systems with unknown parameters and unknown control directions. And three important conclusions about parameters identification have been made. First, a necessary and sufficient condition for parameters identification is obtained. Second, a Nussbaum method is proposed to solve the problem of unknown control direction. Third, the adaptive method is not infinitely effective considered for our current ability of computation and simulation algorithm.

Chaos synchronization of uncertain Genesio-Tesi chaotic systems with deadzone nonlinearity

In this Letter, the concept of practical synchronization is introduced and the chaos synchronization of uncertain Genesio-Tesi chaotic systems with deadzone nonlinearity is investigated. Based on the time-domain approach, a tracking control is proposed to realize chaos synchronization for the uncertain Genesio-Tesi chaotic systems with deadzone nonlinearity. Moreover, the guaranteed exponential convergence rate and convergence radius can be pre-specified. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the obtained result.     

On the viability of local criteria for chaos

Recently, Zscze¸sny and Dobrowolski proposed a geometrical criterion for local instability based on the geodesic deviation equation. Although such a criterion can be useful in some cases, we show here that, in general, it is neither necessary nor sufficient for the occurrence of chaos. To this purpose, we introduce a class of chaotic two-dimensional systems with Gaussian curvature everywhere positive and, hence, locally stable. We show explicitly that chaotic behavior arises from some trajectories that reach certain non-convex parts of the boundary of the effective Riemannian manifold. Our result questions, once more, the viability of local, curvature-based criteria to predict chaotic behavior.     

Impulsive synchronization of chaotic Lur'e systems via partial states

In this Letter, the problem of impulsive synchronization of two identical Lur'e systems via partial states is studied. The problem arises in the situation when only partial states of the driven systems are available. By using the method of the variation of parameters for linear impulsive systems and some analysis technique, a sufficient condition for the existence of the impulsive control law for synchronization via partial states is derived. The sufficient condition is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities concerning the interconnection matrices. By using this result, we propose a new impulsive synchronization scheme for a class of Lur'e systems. The new impulsive synchronization scheme only exerts the impulsive input on partial states of the driven system and is characterized by a set of conditions related to the impulsive interval bound, the impulsive magnitude and a coupling condition between them. The proposed impulsive synchronization method is illustrated through Chua's circuit.     

Pinning synchronization of the complex networks with non-delayed and delayed coupling

In this Letter, without assuming the symmetry of the coupling matrix, we investigate the global synchronization of the complex networks with non-delayed and delayed coupling based on the pinning controllers. Some sufficient conditions for the global synchronization by adding linear and adaptive feedback controllers to a part of nodes are obtained. Numerical examples are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theory.     

Global synchronization in arrays of coupled networks with one single time-varying delay coupling

Global synchronization in arrays of coupled networks with one single time-varying delay coupling is investigated in this Letter. A general linear coupled network with a time-varying coupling delay is proposed and its global synchronization is further discussed. Some sufficient criteria are derived based on Lyapunov functional and linear matrix inequality (LMI). It is shown that under one single delay coupling, the synchronized state changes, which is different from the conventional synchronized solution. Moreover, the degree of the nodes and the inner delayed coupling matrix play key roles in the synchronized state. In particular, the derivative of the time-varying delay can be any given value. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the theoretical results.     

Different Types of Synchronization in Time-Delayed Systems

We investigate different types of synchronization between two unidirectionally nonlinearly coupled identical delay- differential systems related to optical bistable or hybrid optical bistable devices. This system can represent some kinds of delay-differential models, i.e. Ikeda model, Vall~e model, sine-square model, Mackey Glass model, and so on. We find existence and sufficient stability conditions by theoretical analysis and test the correctness by＂ numerical simulations. Lag, complete and anticipating synchronization are observed, respectively. It is found that the time-delay system can be divided into two parts~ one is the instant term and the other is the delay term. Synchronization between two identical chaotic systems can be derived by adding a coupled term to the delay term in the driven system.     

Conditions for common-noise-induced synchronization in time-delay systems

We studied synchronization induced by a common external noise in scalar time-delay systems. We have found a set of sufficient conditions for the synchronization. This set of conditions shows that the synchronization occurs in a wide class of time-delay systems. Numerical evidence for the analytically obtained conditions is also presented.

Projective synchronization in drive-response dynamical networks of partially linear systems with time-varying coupling delay

Recently, projective synchronization (PS) has been widely studied in more than one system. In this Letter, we propose a linear controller and an updated law to realize the PS in drive-response dynamical networks of partially linear systems with time-varying coupling delay, based on the Lyapunov stability theory. A sufficient condition is obtained. Moreover, numerical simulations are provided to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the scheme.     

Synchronization and control of chaos in coupled chaotic multimode Nd:YAG lasers

In this Letter we numerically investigate the dynamics of a system of two coupled chaotic multimode Nd:YAG lasers with two mode and three mode outputs. Unidirectional and bidirectional coupling schemes are adopted; intensity time series plots, phase space plots and synchronization plots are used for studying the dynamics. Quality of synchronization is measured using correlation index plots. It is found that for laser with two mode output bidirectional direct coupling scheme is found to be effective in achieving complete synchronization, control of chaos and amplification in output intensity. For laser with three mode output, bidirectional difference coupling scheme gives much better chaotic synchronization as compared to unidirectional difference coupling but at the cost of higher coupling strength. We also conclude that the coupling scheme and system properties play an important role in determining the type of synchronization exhibited by the system.     

Synchronization analysis of singular hybrid coupled networks

In this Letter, singular hybrid coupled systems are introduced to describe complex networks with a special class of constraints. The synchronization problem of singular hybrid coupled systems with time-varying nonlinear perturbation is investigated. A sufficient condition for global synchronization is derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory. The singular system is regular and impulse free. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposal conditions.     

Synchronization Scheme for Uncertain Chaotic Systems via RBF Neural Network

A sliding mode adaptive synchronization controller is presented with a neural network of radial basis function （RBF） for two chaotic systems. The uncertainty of the synchronization error system is approximated by the RBF neural network. The synchronization controller is given based on the output of the RBF neural network. The proposed controller can make the synchronization error convergent to zero in 5s and can overcome disruption of the uncertainty of the system and the exterior disturbance. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization control method.     

Preservation of stability and synchronization in nonlinear systems

Preservation of stability in the presence of structural and/or parametric changes is an important issue in the study of dynamical systems. A specific case is the synchronization of chaos in complex networks where synchronization should be preserved in spite of changes in the network parameters and connectivity. In this work, a methodology to establish conditions for preservation of stability in a class of dynamical system is given in terms of Lyapunov methods. The idea is to construct a group of dynamical transformations under which stability is retained along certain manifolds. Some synchronization examples illustrate the results.
