Linear feedback controller design method for time-delay chaotic systems

Based on the stability theory of time-delay systems, this paper discusses chaos control and synchronization problem of time-delay chaotic systems. Through the combining of a new theorem and the characters of the chaotic system, we have designed a linear controller to realize chaos control and synchronization for Lorenz system with time-varying lags. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the developed method.     

Lag synchronization of a class of chaotic systems with unknown parameters

Research on chaos synchronization of dynamical systems has been largely reported in literature. However, synchronization of different structure—uncertain dynamical systems—has received less attention. This paper addresses synchronization of a class of time-delay chaotic systems containing uncertain parameters. A unified scheme is established for synchronization between two strictly different time-delay uncertain chaotic systems. The synchronization is successfully achieved by designing an adaptive controller with the estimates of the unknown parameters and the nonlinear feedback gain. The result is rigorously proved by the Lyapunov stability theorem. Moreover, we illustrate the application of the proposed scheme by numerical simulation, which demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed synchronization method.     

Anticipatory, complete and lag synchronization of chaos and hyperchaos in a nonlinear delay-coupled time-delayed system

We study the synchronization of chaos and hyperchaos in first-order time-delayed systems that are coupled using the nonlinear time-delay excitatory coupling. We assign two characteristic time delays: the system delay that is same for both the systems, and the coupling delay associated with the coupling path. We show that depending upon the relative values of the system delay and the coupling delay the coupled systems show anticipatory, complete, and lag synchronization. We derive a general stability condition for all the synchronization processes using the Krasovskii–Lyapunov theory. Numerical simulations are carried out to corroborate the analytical results. We compute a quantitative measure to ensure the occurrence of different synchronization phenomena. Finally, we set up an experiment in electronic circuit to verify all the synchronization scenario. It is observed that the experimental results are in good agreement with our analytical results and numerical observations.     

Impulsive control induced effects on dynamics of single and coupled ODE systems

The dynamics of differential system can be changed very obviously after inputting impulse signals. Previous studies show that the single chaotic system can be controlled to periodic motions using impulsive control method. It was well known that the dynamics of hyper-chaotic and coupled systems are very important and more complex than those of a single system. In this paper, particular impulsive control of the hyper-chaotic Lü system was proposed, which is with outer impulsive signals. It can be seen that such impulsive strategy can generate chaos from periodic orbit or control chaos to periodic orbit etc. For the first time, impulsive control induced effects on dynamics of coupled systems are considered in this paper, where the impulse effect has outer input signals. Many interesting and useful results are obtained. The coupled system can realize synchronization and its synchronization manifold can be changed with such impulsive control signals. Strict theories are given, and numerical simulations confirm the correctness of theoretical results.     

Adaptive feedback control and synchronization of non-identical chaotic fractional order systems

This paper addresses the reliable synchronization problem between two non-identical chaotic fractional order systems. In this work, we present an adaptive feedback control scheme for the synchronization of two coupled chaotic fractional order systems with different fractional orders. Based on the stability results of linear fractional order systems and Laplace transform theory, using the master-slave synchronization scheme, sufficient conditions for chaos synchronization are derived. The designed controller ensures that fractional order chaotic oscillators that have non-identical fractional orders can be synchronized with suitable feedback controller applied to the response system. Numerical simulations are performed to assess the performance of the proposed adaptive controller in synchronizing chaotic systems.     

Chaos synchronization of two different chaotic complex Chen and Lü systems

This paper investigates the phenomenon of chaos synchronization of two different chaotic complex systems of the Chen and Lü type via the methods of active control and global synchronization. In this regard, it generalizes earlier work on the synchronization of two identical oscillators in cases where the drive and response systems are different, the parameter space is larger, and the dimensionality increases due to the complexification of the dependent variables. The idea of chaos synchronization is to use the output of the drive system to control the response system so that the output of the response system converges to the output of the drive system as time increases. Lyapunov functions are derived to prove that the differences in the dynamics of the two systems converge to zero exponentially fast, explicit expressions are given for the control functions and numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the success of our chaos synchronization techniques. We also point out that the global synchronization method is better suited for synchronizing identical chaotic oscillators, as it has serious limitations when applied to the case where the drive and response systems are different.     

Dynamics,circuit realization,control and synchronization of a hyperchaotic hyperjerk system with coexisting attractors

Although different hyperjerk systems have been discovered, a few hyperjerk systems can exhibit hyperchaotic behavior. In this work, we introduce a new hyperjerk system with hyperchaotic attractors. By investigating dynamics of the system, we have observed the different coexisting attractors such as coexistence of period-2 attractors, or coexistence of period-2 attractor and quasiperiodic attractor. It is worth noting that this striking phenomenon is rarely reported in a hyperjerk system. The proposed system has been realized with electronic components. The agreement between the simulation and experimental results indicates the feasibility of the hyperjerk system. Moreover, chaos control and synchronization of such hyperjerk system have been also reported.     

Chaos control and modified projective synchronization of unknown heavy symmetric chaotic gyroscope systems via Gaussian radial basis adaptive backstepping control

This paper proposes the chaos control and the modified projective synchronization methods for unknown heavy symmetric chaotic gyroscope systems via Gaussian radial basis adaptive backstepping 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 regular or 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. Obviously, the importance of obtaining these objectives is specified when the dynamics of gyroscope system are unknown. In this paper, using the neural backstepping control technique, control laws are established which guarantees the chaos control and the modified projective synchronization of unknown chaotic gyroscope system. In the neural backstepping control, Gaussian radial basis functions are utilized to on-line estimate the system dynamic functions. Also, the adaptation laws of the on-line estimators are derived in the sense of Lyapunov function. Thus, the unknown chaotic gyroscope system can be guaranteed to be asymptotically stable. Also, the control objectives have been achieved.     

Synchronization of a novel fractional order stretch-twist-fold (STF) flow chaotic system and its application to a new authenticated encryption scheme (AES)

In this paper, a new fractional order stretch-twist-fold (STF) flow dynamical system is proposed. The stability analysis of the proposed system equilibria is accomplished and we establish that the system is exhibited chaos even for order less than 3. The active control method is applied to enquire the hybrid phase synchronization between two identical fractional order STF flow chaotic systems. These synchronized systems are applied to formulate an authenticated encryption scheme newly for message (text and image) recovery. It is widely applied in the field of secure communication. Numerical simulations are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed theory.     

Lag synchronization for fuzzy chaotic system based on fuzzy observer

A new fuzzy observer for lag synchronization is given in this paper. By investi- gating synchronization of chaotic systems, the structure of drive-response lag synchronization for fuzzy chaos system based on fuzzy observer is proposed. A new lag synchronization criterion is derived using the Lyapunov stability theorem, in which control gains are obtained under the LMI condition. The proposed approach is applied to the well-known Chen＇s systems. A simulation example is presented to illustrate its effectiveness.     

Analog circuit design and optimal synchronization of a modified Rayleigh system

This paper addresses the problem of optimization of the synchronization of a chaotic modified Rayleigh system. We first introduce a four-dimensional autonomous chaotic system which is obtained by the modification of a two-dimensional Rayleigh system. Some basic dynamical properties and behaviors of this system are investigated. An appropriate electronic circuit (analog simulator) is proposed for the investigation of the dynamical behavior of the proposed system. Correspondences are established between the coefficients of the system model and the components of the electronic circuit. Furthermore, we propose an optimal robust adaptive feedback which accomplishes the synchronization of two modified Rayleigh systems using the controllability functions method. The advantage of the proposed scheme is that it takes into account the energy wasted by feedback coupling and the closed loop performance on synchronization. Also, a finite horizon is explicitly computed such that the chaos synchronization is achieved at an established time. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization strategy. Pspice analog circuit implementation of the complete master–slave controller system is also presented to show the feasibility of the proposed scheme.     

Master-slave chaos synchronization via optimal fractional order PI λ D μ controller with bacterial foraging algorithm

Chaos synchronization in a master-slave configuration has been studied in this paper with a fractional order (FO) Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller using an intelligent Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithm. A?comparative study has been made to highlight the advantage of using a fractional order PI ^?? D ^?? controller over the conventional PID controller for chaos synchronization using two Lu systems as a representative example. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization technique over the existing methodologies.     

Chaos detection and parameter identification in fractional-order chaotic systems with delay

The paper first applies the 0–1 test for chaos to detecting chaos exhibited by fractional-order delayed systems. The results of the test reveal that there exists chaos in some fractional-order delayed systems with specific parameter values, which coincides with previous reports based on the phase portrait. In addition, it is very important to identify exactly the unknown specific parameters of fractional-order chaotic delayed systems in chaos control and synchronization. Thus, a method for parameter identification of fractional-order chaotic delayed systems based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is presented. By treating the orders as parameters, the parameters and orders are identified through minimizing an objective function. PSO can efficiently find the optimal feasible solution of the objective function. Finally, numerical simulations on fractional-order chaotic logistic delayed system and fractional-order chaotic Chen delayed system show that the proposed method has effective performance of parameter identification.     

Robust chaos synchronizations using an SDRE-based sub-optimal control approach

This paper presents a robust control via a sub-optimal approach, which is achieved by the SDRE control. The proposed approach is to transform a robust control problem into an optimal control problem, where the uncertainties are reflected in the performance index. Thus, the optimal control problem is solved by the SDRE control. Four types of robust control problems are presented, and each type is illustrated by a robust chaos synchronization example. The results show that the proposed approach can effectively regulate the error dynamics of the chaos synchronization.     

Observer-based model reference adaptive control for unknown time-delay chaotic systems with input nonlinearity

Existence of unknown time-delay in the systems is a drastic restriction that it can menace the stability criteria and even deteriorate the performance system. This undesired case would be more intensified if that the uncertain input nonlinearity effects are also considered. To handle the input nonlinearities effects (results in dead-zone and/or hysteresis phenomena) and also unknown time-delay in the chaotic systems, this paper presents an observer-based Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) scheme for a class of unknown time-delay chaotic systems with disturbances. This new method is a delay-independent variable-structure control method which is integrated with an observer system. The main task of the proposed approach is to accomplish a perfect tracking procedure such that unknown parameters are adapted via output estimation error. Furthermore, stability of the closed-loop system is achieved by means of the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the proposed methods are applied to some famous chaotic systems to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Interconnected TS fuzzy technique for nonlinear time-delay structural systems

In this study we consider using an interconnected Takagi–Sugeno (TS) technique and a fuzzy Lyapunov method to derive the stability conditions for a real nonlinear time-delay structural system. The proposed design method is designed to provide a systematic and effective framework for the control of nonlinear structural systems subjected to external excitation. The effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed interconnected TS technique are demonstrated through numerical simulations based on a structure that is subjected to forces like those of the Chi Chi earthquake that occurred in Taiwan in 1999.     

Chaos synchronization of discrete-time dynamic systems with a limited capacity communication channel

This paper offers a new control strategy for discrete-time chaos synchronization where the drive system and the response system are coupled via a limited capacity communication channel (LCCC for short). One simple condition is presented to ensure synchronization between the two chaotic systems coupled by a LCCC. Based on this condition, an explicit coder–decoder pair for the coding algorithm is designed and the synchronization error between the two chaotic systems decays to zero exponentially based on this coding algorithm. Finally, the proposed control strategy is applied to the well-known H\′{e}non system, and numerical simulations illustrate the validity of the obtained result.     

Synchronization control of oscillator networks using symbolic regression

Networks of coupled dynamical systems provide a powerful way to model systems with enormously complex dynamics, such as the human brain. Control of synchronization in such networked systems has far-reaching applications in many domains, including engineering and medicine. In this paper, we formulate the synchronization control in dynamical systems as an optimization problem and present a multi-objective genetic programming-based approach to infer optimal control functions that drive the system from a synchronized to a non-synchronized state and vice versa. The genetic programming-based controller allows learning optimal control functions in an interpretable symbolic form. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated in controlling synchronization in coupled oscillator systems linked in networks of increasing order complexity, ranging from a simple coupled oscillator system to a hierarchical network of coupled oscillators. The results show that the proposed method can learn highly effective and interpretable control functions for such systems.     

Robust synchronization of uncertain fractional-order chaotic systems with time-varying delay

This paper presents a new technique using a recurrent non-singleton type-2 sequential fuzzy neural network (RNT2SFNN) for synchronization of the fractional-order chaotic systems with time-varying delay and uncertain dynamics. The consequent parameters of the proposed RNT2SFNN are learned based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability analysis. The proposed control method is used to synchronize two non-identical and identical fractional-order chaotic systems, with time-varying delay. Also, to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control method, in the other practical applications, the proposed controller is applied to synchronize the master–slave bilateral teleoperation problem with time-varying delay. Simulation results show that the proposed control scenario results in good performance in the presence of external disturbance, unknown functions in the dynamics of the system and also time-varying delay in the control signal and the dynamics of system. Finally, the effectiveness of proposed RNT2SFNN is verified by a nonlinear identification problem and its performance is compared with other well-known neural networks.     

The alternating between complete synchronization and hybrid synchronization of hyperchaotic Lorenz system with time delay

The various cases of synchronization in two identical hyperchaotic Lorenz systems with time delay are studied. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, the sufficient conditions for achieving synchronization of two identical hyperchaotic Lorenz systems with time delay are derived, and a simple scheme only with a single linear controller is proposed. When the parameters in the response system are known, the alternating between complete synchronization and hybrid synchronization (namely, coexistence of antiphase and complete synchronization) is observed with the control feedback gain varying. Furthermore, when the parameters in the response system are unknown, for the same feedback controller, the complete synchronization and the hybrid synchronization can be obtained, respectively, as the associated parameters updated laws of the unknown parameters are chosen. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.
