A chattering-free robust adaptive sliding mode controller for synchronization of two different chaotic systems with unknown uncertainties and external disturbances

In this paper, a robust adaptive sliding mode controller (RASMC) is introduced to synchronize two different chaotic systems in the presence of unknown bounded uncertainties and external disturbances. The structure of the master and slave chaotic systems has no restrictive assumption. Appropriate adaptation laws are derived to tackle the uncertainties and external disturbances. Based on the adaptation laws and Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive sliding control law is designed to ensure the occurrence of the sliding motion even when both master and slave systems are perturbed with unknown uncertainties and external disturbances. Since the conventional sliding mode controllers contain the sign function, the undesirable chattering is occurred. We propose a new simple adaptive scheme to eliminate the chattering. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to verify the usefulness and applicability of the proposed control strategy.     

Robust synchronization of drive–response chaotic systems via adaptive sliding mode control

A robust adaptive sliding control scheme is developed in this study to achieve synchronization for two identical chaotic systems in the presence of uncertain system parameters, external disturbances and nonlinear control inputs. An adaptation algorithm is given based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Using this adaptation technique to estimate the upper-bounds of parameter variation and external disturbance uncertainties, an adaptive sliding mode controller is then constructed without requiring the bounds of parameter and disturbance uncertainties to be known in advance. It is proven that the proposed adaptive sliding mode controller can maintain the existence of sliding mode in finite time in uncertain chaotic systems. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

An adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) technique is introduced in this paper for a chaotic dynamical system (Genesio–Tesi system). Using the sliding mode control technique, a sliding surface is determined and the control law is established. An adaptive sliding mode control law is derived to make the states of the Genesio–Tesi system asymptotically track and regulate the desired state. The designed control scheme can control the uncertain chaotic behaviors to a desired state without oscillating very fast and guarantee the property of asymptotical stability. An illustrative simulation result is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive sliding mode control design.     

Finite-time synchronization of two different chaotic systems with unknown parameters via sliding mode technique

In this paper, the problem of finite-time chaos synchronization between two different chaotic systems with fully unknown parameters is investigated. First, a new nonsingular terminal sliding surface is introduced and its finite-time convergence to the zero equilibrium is proved. Then, appropriate adaptive laws are derived to tackle the unknown parameters of the systems. Afterwards, based on the adaptive laws and finite-time control idea, an adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed to ensure the occurrence of the sliding motion in a given finite time. It is mathematically proved that the introduced sliding mode technique has finite-time convergence and stability in both reaching and sliding mode phases. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed technique.     

Robust intelligent sliding model control using recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller for uncertain nonlinear chaotic systems

In this paper, a robust intelligent sliding model control (RISMC) scheme using an adaptive recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller (RCMAC) is developed for a class of uncertain nonlinear chaotic systems. This RISMC system offers a design approach to drive the state trajectory to track a desired trajectory, and it is comprised of an adaptive RCMAC and a robust controller. The adaptive RCMAC is used to mimic an ideal sliding mode control (SMC) due to unknown system dynamics, and a robust controller is designed to recover the residual approximation error for guaranteeing the stable characteristic. Moreover, the Taylor linearization technique is employed to derive the linearized model of the RCMAC. The all adaptation laws of the RISMC system are derived based on the Lyapunov stability analysis and projection algorithm, so that the stability of the system can be guaranteed. Finally, the proposed RISMC system is applied to control a Van der Pol oscillator, a Genesio chaotic system and a Chua’s chaotic circuit. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by some simulation results with unknown system dynamics and existence of external disturbance. In addition, the advantages of the proposed RISMC are indicated in comparison with a SMC system.

Unlike many well-known methods of the sliding mode control, no knowledge on the bound of uncertainty and disturbance is required. Simulation results are demonstrated for several chaotic examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive sliding mode control scheme.

Fast synchronization of non-identical chaotic modulation-based secure systems using a modified sliding mode controller

In this paper, a secure communication scheme based on chaotic modulation is proposed using a reversible process and a robust controller with efficient cost and complexity to synchronize two different chaotic systems. In the controller design, a sliding mode control with an adaptive rule is used for non-linear inputs. The adaptive rule is applied to ensure the synchronization when uncertainties, non-modeled dynamics or external distortions are at work. The message signal is recovered at the receiver using a recursive process at the end. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is confirmed via the simulation results for the synchronization of the transmitted signal modulated by Chen chaotic system at the transmitter and Genesio chaotic system at the receiver, and those for the information recovery process.

Then a sliding mode controller (SMC) is proposed to guarantee the hitting of the switching surface even with uncertainties and the control input containing dead-zone nonlinearity. Some simulation results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed synchronization scheme.     

Chaos suppression of a class of unknown uncertain chaotic systems via single input

This paper deals with the design of a robust adaptive control scheme for chaos suppression of a class of chaotic systems. We assume that model uncertainties and external disturbances disturb the system’s dynamics. The bounds of both model uncertainties and external disturbances are assumed to be unknown in advance. Moreover, it is assumed that the nonlinear terms of the chaotic system dynamics are unknown bounded. Based on the global boundedness feature of the chaotic systems’ trajectories, a simple one input adaptive sliding mode control approach is proposed to suppress the chaos of the uncertain chaotic system. Furthermore, using a dynamical sliding manifold the discontinuous sign function in the control input is diverted to the first derivative of the control input to eliminate the chattering. Finally, the robustness of the proposed approach is mathematically proved and numerically illustrated.     

Chaos control in AFM system using sliding mode control by backstepping design

This paper presents a robust algorithm to control the chaotic atomic force microscope system (AFMs) by backstepping design procedure. The proposed feedback controller is composed by a sliding mode control (SMC) and a backstepping feedback, so its implementation is quite simple and can be made on the basis of the measured signal. The developed control scheme allows chaos suppression despite uncertainties in the model as well as system external disturbances. The concept of extended system is used such that a continuous sliding mode control effort is generated using backstepping scheme. It is guaranteed that under the proposed control law, uncertain AFMs can asymptotically track target orbits. The converging speed of error states can be arbitrary turned by assigning the corresponding dynamics of the sliding surfaces. Numerical simulations demonstrate its advantages by stabilizing the unstable periodic orbits of the AFMs and this method can also be easily extended to elimination chaotic motion in any types of chaotic AFMs.

A dynamic compensator is designed to improve the performance of the closed-loop system in sliding mode, and its parameter is obtained from a linear matrix inequality (LMI). Simulation results for the well known Chua’s circuit and Lorenz chaotic system are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Robust stabilization and synchronization of a class of fractional-order chaotic systems via a novel fractional sliding mode controller

This paper proposes a novel fractional-order sliding mode approach for stabilization and synchronization of a class of fractional-order chaotic systems. Based on the fractional calculus a stable integral type fractional-order sliding surface is introduced. Using the fractional Lyapunov stability theorem, a single sliding mode control law is proposed to ensure the existence of the sliding motion in finite time. The proposed control scheme is applied to stabilize/synchronize a class of fractional-order chaotic systems in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. Some numerical simulations are performed to confirm the theoretical results of the paper. It is worth noticing that the proposed fractional-order sliding mode controller can be applied to control a broad range of fractional-order dynamical systems.     

Chaos control of uncertain time‐delay chaotic systems with input dead‐zone nonlinearity

This article presents an adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) scheme for the stabilization problem of uncertain time‐delay chaotic systems with input dead‐zone nonlinearity. The algorithm is based on SMC, adaptive control, and linear matrix inequality technique. Using Lyapunov stability theorem, the proposed control scheme guarantees the stability of overall closed‐loop uncertain time‐delay chaotic system with input dead‐zone nonlinearity. It is shown that the state trajectories converge to zero asymptotically in the presence of input dead‐zone nonlinearity, time‐delays, nonlinear real‐valued functions, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances simultaneously. The selection of sliding surface and the design of control law are two important issues, which have been addressed. Moreover, the knowledge of upper bound of uncertainties is not required. The reaching phase and chattering phenomenon are eliminated. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed scheme. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Adaptive synchronization for two identical generalized Lorenz chaotic systems via a single controller

This paper presents a systematic design procedure to synchronize two identical generalized Lorenz chaotic systems based on a sliding mode control. In contrast to the previous works, this approach only needs a single controller to realize synchronization, which has considerable significance in reducing the cost and complexity for controller implementation. A switching surface only including partial states is adopted to ensure the stability of the error dynamics in the sliding mode. Then an adaptive sliding mode controller (ASMC) is derived to guarantee the occurrence of the sliding motion even when the parameters of the drive and response generalized Lorenz systems are unknown. Last, an example is included to illustrate the results developed in this paper.

The calculation formula of the reaching time is analyzed and computed. The reachability analysis is visualized to show how to obtain a shorter reaching time. A stability criteria of the FO sliding mode dynamics is derived based on indirect approach to Lyapunov stability. Effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is illustrated through numerical simulations. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 363–373, 2016     

Chaos synchronization in noisy environment using nonlinear filtering and sliding mode control

This paper presents an algorithm for synchronizing two different chaotic systems, using a combination of the extended Kalman filter and the sliding mode controller. It is assumed that the drive chaotic system has a random excitation with a stochastically chaotic behavior. Two different cases are considered in this study. At first it is assumed that all state variables of the drive system are available, i.e. complete state measurement, and a sliding mode controller is designed for synchronization. For the second case, it is assumed that the output of the drive system does not contain the whole state variables of the drive system, and it is also affected by some random noise. By combination of extended Kalman filter and the sliding mode control, a synchronizing control law is proposed. As a case study, the presented algorithm is applied to the Lur’e-Genesio chaotic systems as the drive-response dynamic systems. Simulation results show the good performance of the algorithm in synchronizing the chaotic systems in presence of noisy environment.

Adaptive backstepping sliding mode control for chaos synchronization of two coupled neurons in the external electrical stimulation

In this paper, a robust control system combining backstepping and sliding mode control techniques is used to realize the synchronization of two gap junction coupled chaotic FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neurons in the external electrical stimulation. A backstepping sliding mode approach is applied firstly to compensate the uncertainty which occur in the control system. However, the bound of uncertainty is necessary in the design of the backstepping sliding mode controller. To relax the requirement for the bound of uncertainty, an adaptive backstepping sliding mode controller with a simple adaptive law to adapt the uncertainty in real time is designed. The adaptive backstepping sliding mode control system is robust for time-varying external disturbances. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the control scheme.

The unified chaotic system incorporates the behaviors of the Lorenz, the Chen and the Lü chaotic systems. This paper deals with the synchronization of two identical unified chaotic systems where the slave system is assumed to have a single input. A sliding mode controller is proposed to synchronize the two systems. The asymptotic convergence to zero of the errors between the states of the master and the slave systems is shown. Simulations results are presented to illustrate the proposed controller; they indicate that the designed controller is able to synchronize the unified chaotic systems. Also, simulation results show that the proposed control scheme is robust to random bounded disturbances acting on the master system. Moreover, the proposed scheme is applied to the secure communications field, where simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme is effective.
