Dual synchronization of chaotic systems via time-varying gain proportional feedback

In this paper the dual synchronization of chaotic systems via output feedback strategy is investigated. The slave chaotic systems are fed by a scalar signal generated by a linear combination of the master systems state variables. The sufficient condition and design procedure for dual synchronization are presented. The proposed method is applied for dual synchronization of the Lorenz–Rossler, Rossler–Chen and Duffing–Van der Pol chaotic systems through computer simulation. The results show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed algorithm.     

Function vector synchronization based on fuzzy control for uncertain chaotic systems with dead‐zone nonlinearities

In this article, a fuzzy adaptive control scheme is designed to achieve a function vector synchronization behavior between two identical or different chaotic (or hyperchaotic) systems in the presence of unknown dynamic disturbances and input nonlinearities (dead‐zone and sector nonlinearities). This proposed synchronization scheme can be considered as a generalization of many existing projective synchronization schemes (namely the function projective synchronization, the modified projective synchronization, generalized projective synchronization, and so forth) in the sense that the master and slave outputs are assumed to be some general function vectors. To practically deal with the input nonlinearities, the adaptive fuzzy control system is designed in a variable‐structure framework. The fuzzy systems are used to appropriately approximate the uncertain nonlinear functions. A Lyapunov approach is used to prove the boundedness of all signals of the closed‐loop control system as well as the exponential convergence of the corresponding synchronization errors to an adjustable region. The synchronization between two identical systems (chaotic satellite systems) and two different systems (chaotic Chen and Lü systems) are taken as two illustrative examples to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization of non‐identical fractional‐order chaotic systems

In this paper, multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization scheme has been investigated between a class of four non‐identical fractional‐order chaotic systems. The fractional‐order Lorenz and Chen's systems are taken as drive systems. The combination–combination of multi drive systems is then synchronized with the combination of fractional‐order Lü and Rössler chaotic systems. In multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization, the state variables of two drive systems synchronize with different state variables of two response systems simultaneously. Based on the stability of fractional‐order chaotic systems, the multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization of four fractional‐order non‐identical systems has been investigated. For the synchronization of four non‐identical fractional‐order chaotic systems, suitable controllers have been designed. Theoretical analysis and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the applied method. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multi-synchronization of chaos via linear output feedback strategy

Multi-synchronization of chaotic systems based on the master-slave scheme as an extension of the dual synchronization problem is introduced. It is assumed that the only information available from the master systems is a linear combination of their state vectors. The design procedure for multi-synchronization through output feedback strategy is described and the sufficient condition is given. The performance of the proposed algorithm is numerically examined by applying it to the Chen–Lorenz–Rossler and the Duffing–Van der Pol chaotic systems. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Finite‐time synchronization of a class of N‐coupled complex partial differential systems with time‐varying delay

This study examines finite‐time synchronization for a class of N‐coupled complex partial differential systems (PDSs) with time‐varying delay. The problem of finite‐time synchronization for coupled drive‐response PDSs with time‐varying delay is similarly considered. The synchronization error dynamic of the PDSs is defined in the q‐dimensional spatial domain. We construct a feedback controller to achieve finite‐time synchronization. Sufficient conditions are derived by using the Lyapunov‐Krasoviskii stability approach and inequalities technology to ensure that the proposed networks achieve synchronization in finite time. The proposed systems demonstrate extensive application. Finally, an example is used to verify the theoretical results.     

Adaptive synchronization of two chaotic systems with stochastic unknown parameters

Using the Lyapunov stability theory an adaptive control is proposed for chaos synchronization between two different systems which have stochastically time varying unknown coefficients. The stochastic variations of the coefficients about their unknown mean values are modeled through white Gaussian noise produced by the Weiner process. It is shown that using the proposed adaptive control the mean square of synchronization error converges to an arbitrarily small bound around zero. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, it is applied to the Lorenz–Chen and the Chen–Rossler dynamical systems, as some case studies. Simulation results indicate that the proposed adaptive controller has a high performance in synchronization of chaotic systems in noisy environment.     

Adaptive‐impulsive function projective synchronization for a class of time‐delay chaotic systems

This article investigates the function projective synchronization (FPS) for a class of time‐delay chaotic system via nonlinear adaptive‐impulsive control. To achieve the FPS, suitable nonlinear continuous and impulsive controllers are designed based on adaptive control theory and impulsive control theory. Using the generalized Babarlat's lemma, a general condition is given to ensure the FPS. Here, the time‐delay chaotic system is assumed to satisfy the Lipschitz condition while the Lipschitz constants are estimated by augmented adaptation equations. Numerical simulation results are also presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 333–341, 2015     

Cluster synchronization for T–S fuzzy complex networks using pinning control with probabilistic time‐varying delays

In this article, cluster synchronization problem for Lur'e type Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy complex networks with probabilistic time‐varying delays is considered. Pinning control strategy is proposed. The probability distribution of the time‐varying delay is considered. In terms of the probability distribution of the delays, a new type of system model with probability‐distribution‐dependent parameter matrices is proposed. Moreover, probabilistic delay is assumed to satisfy certain probability distribution and the probability of the delay takes values in some intervals. By constructing a suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional involving triple integral terms and using Kronecker product with convex combination technique, some sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the cluster synchronization of designed networks such that the linear feedback controller can be used to every cluster. The problem of controller design is converted into solving a series of linear matrix inequalities. The effectiveness of our results is verified through numerical examples and simulations. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 59–77, 2015

Projective synchronization between different fractional‐order hyperchaotic systems with uncertain parameters using proposed modified adaptive projective synchronization technique

In the present article, the authors have proposed a modified projective adaptive synchronization technique for fractional‐order chaotic systems. The adaptive projective synchronization controller and identification parameters law are developed on the basis of Lyapunov direct stability theory. The proposed method is successfully applied for the projective synchronization between fractional‐order hyperchaotic Lü system as drive system and fractional‐order hyperchaotic Lorenz chaotic system as response system. A comparison between the effects on synchronization time due to the presence of fractional‐order time derivatives for modified projective synchronization method and proposed modified adaptive projective synchronization technique is the key feature of the present article. Numerical simulation results, which are carried out using Adams–Boshforth–Moulton method show that the proposed technique is effective, convenient and also faster for projective synchronization of fractional‐order nonlinear dynamical systems.

Exponential synchronization of discontinuous chaotic systems via delayed impulsive control and its application to secure communication

This paper investigates drive-response synchronization of chaotic systems with discontinuous right-hand side. Firstly, a general model is proposed to describe most of known discontinuous chaotic system with or without time-varying delay. An uniform impulsive controller with multiple unknown time-varying delays is designed such that the response system can be globally exponentially synchronized with the drive system. By utilizing a new lemma on impulsive differential inequality and the Lyapunov functional method, several synchronization criteria are obtained through rigorous mathematical proofs. Results of this paper are universal and can be applied to continuous chaotic systems. Moreover, numerical examples including discontinuous chaotic Chen system, memristor-based Chua’s circuit, and neural networks with discontinuous activations are given to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results. Application of the obtained results to secure communication is also demonstrated in this paper.     

Finite-time lag synchronization of coupled reaction–diffusion systems with time-varying delay via periodically intermittent control

In this paper, the issue of finite-time lag synchronization of coupled reaction–diffusion systems with time-varying delay (CRDSTD) is considered. A periodically intermittent controller is designed such that drive system and corresponding response system can achieve finite-time lag synchronization. By using graph theory and Lyapunov method, two sufficient criteria are presented to guarantee the finite-time lag synchronization of CRDSTD. Moreover, the time of achieving lag synchronization of CRDSTD is estimated. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Projective synchronization of time‒delayed chaotic systems with unknown parameters using adaptive control method

The present article aims to study the projective synchronization between two identical and non?identical time?delayed chaotic systems with fully unknown parameters. Here the asymptotical and global synchronization are achieved by means of adaptive control approach based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional theory. The proposed technique is successfully applied to investigate the projective synchronization for the pairs of time?delayed chaotic systems amongst advanced Lorenz system as drive system with multiple delay Rössler system and time?delayed Chua's oscillator as response system. An adaptive controller and parameter update laws for unknown parameters are designed so that the drive system is controlled to be the response system. Numerical simulation results, depicted graphically, are carried out using Runge–Kutta Method for delay?differential equations, showing that the design of controller and the adaptive parameter laws are very effective and reliable and can be applied for synchronization of time?delayed chaotic systems.

Synchronization of two coupled multimode oscillators with time-delayed feedback

Effects of synchronization in a system of two coupled oscillators with time-delayed feedback are investigated. Phase space of a system with time delay is infinite-dimensional. Thus, the picture of synchronization in such systems acquires many new features not inherent to finite-dimensional ones. A picture of oscillation modes in cases of identical and non-identical coupled oscillators is studied in detail. Periodical structure of amplitude death and “broadband synchronization” zones is investigated. Such a behavior occurs due to the resonances between different modes of the infinite-dimensional system with time delay.     

Asymptotic synchronization of continuous/discrete complex dynamical networks by optimal partitioning method

The synchronization problem for both continuous and discrete‐time complex dynamical networks with time‐varying delays is investigated. Using optimal partitioning method, time‐varying delays are partitioned into l subintervals and generalized results are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). New delay‐dependent synchronization criteria in terms of LMIs are derived by constructing appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, reciprocally convex combination technique and some inequality techniques. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed synchronization criteria. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 193–210, 2015

Further results on the impulsive synchronization of uncertain complex‐variable chaotic delayed systems

Synchronization and control of nonlinear dynamical systems with complex variables has attracted much more attention in various fields of science and engineering. In this article, we investigate the problem of impulsive synchronization for the complex‐variable delayed chaotic systems with parameters perturbation and unknown parameters in which the time delay is also included in the impulsive moment. Based on the theories of adaptive control and impulsive control, synchronization schemes are designed to make a class of complex‐variable chaotic delayed systems asymptotically synchronized, and unknown parameters are identified simultaneously in the process of synchronization. Sufficient conditions are derived to synchronize the complex‐variable chaotic systems include delayed impulses. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes, several numerical examples are given. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 131–142, 2016
