On the generalized exact boundary synchronization for a coupled system of wave equations

In this paper, we deliver a normalized synchronization transformation to study the generalized exact boundary synchronization for a coupled system of wave equations with Dirichlet boundary controls. The clear relationship among the generalized exact boundary synchronization, the exact boundary null controllability, and the generalized exactly synchronizable states is precisely obtained. This approach gives further a forthright decomposition for the generalized exact boundary synchronization problem, whereby, we gain directly the determination of generalized exactly synchronizable states.

A novel chaos synchronization of uncertain mechanical systems with parameter mismatchings, external excitations, and chaotic vibrations

In this paper, a new concept of chaos synchronization, which is superior to generalized exponential synchronization, generalized virtual synchronization, and generalized complete synchronization, is firstly introduced and the chaos synchronization of a pair of Duffing-Holmes oscillators with parameter mismatchings, external excitations, and chaotic vibrations is investigated. Based on the time-domain approach with differential inequality, a feedback control is proposed to realize generalized synchronization (generalized exponential synchronization, respectively) for a pair of Duffing-Holmes oscillators without uncertainties (with uncertainties, respectively). In addition, not only the guaranteed exponential convergence rate can be arbitrarily pre-specified but also the critical time can be correctly estimated. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the obtained result.     

A robust method for new fractional hybrid chaos synchronization

In this paper, a robust mathematical method is proposed to study a new hybrid synchronization type, which is a combining generalized synchronization and inverse generalized synchronization. The method is based on Laplace transformation, Lyapunov stability theory of integer‐order systems and stability theory of linear fractional systems. Sufficient conditions are derived to demonstrate the coexistence of generalized synchronization and inverse generalized synchronization between different dimensional incommensurate fractional chaotic systems. Numerical test of the method is used. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Partial approximate boundary synchronization for a coupled system of wave equations with Dirichlet boundary controls

In this paper, we propose the concept of partial approximate boundary synchronization for a coupled system of wave equations with Dirichlet boundary controls, and make a deep discussion on it. We analyze the relation-ship between the partial approximate boundary synchronization and the partial exact boundary synchronization, and obtain sufficient conditions to realize the partial approximate boundary synchronization and necessary conditions of Kalman's criterion. In addition, with the help of partial synchronization decomposition, a condition that the approximately synchronizable state does not depend on the sequence of boundary controls is also given.     

Analysis of generalized projective synchronization for a chaotic gyroscope with a periodic gyroscope

In this paper, a simple nonlinear controller is applied to investigate the generalized projective synchronization for a controlled chaotic gyroscope with a periodic gyroscope dynamical system. The necessary and sufficient conditions for generalized projective synchronization are developed through the theory of discontinuous dynamical systems. The synchronization invariant domain from the synchronization conditions is presented. The parameter maps are explored for a better understanding of the synchronicity of two gyroscopes with different motions. Finally, the partial and full generalized projective synchronizations of two nonlinear coupled gyroscope systems are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the scheme.     

Generalized projective synchronization in time-delayed chaotic systems

We report on generalized projective synchronization between two identical time delay chaotic systems with single time delays. It overcomes some limitations of the previous work where generalized projective synchronization has been investigated only in finite-dimensional chaotic systems, so we can achieve generalized projective synchronization in infinite-dimensional chaotic systems. This method allows us to arbitrarily direct the scaling factor onto a desired value. Numerical simulations show that this method works very well.     

Exact Boundary Synchronization for a Coupled System of Wave Equations with Neumann Boundary Controls

In this paper, for a coupled system of wave equations with Neumann boundary controls, the exact boundary synchronization is taken into consideration. Results are then extended to the case of synchronization by groups. Moreover, the determination of the state of synchronization by groups is discussed with details for the synchronization and for the synchronization by 3-groups, respectively.     

Global synchronization criteria for a class of third-order non-autonomous chaotic systems via linear state error feedback control

This paper investigates the global synchronization of a class of third-order non-autonomous chaotic systems via the master–slave linear state error feedback control. A sufficient global synchronization criterion of linear matrix inequality (LMI) and several algebraic synchronization criteria for single-variable coupling are proven. These LMI and algebraic synchronization criteria are then applied to two classes of well-known third-order chaotic systems, the generalized Lorenz systems and the gyrostat systems, proving that the local synchronization criteria for the chaotic generalized Lorenz systems developed in the existing literature can actually be extended to describe global synchronization and obtaining some easily implemented synchronization criteria for the gyrostat systems.     

From phenomena of synchronization to exact synchronization and approximate synchronization for hyperbolic systems

In this survey paper, the synchronization will be initially studied for infinite dimensional dynamical systems of partial differential equations instead of finite dimensional systems of ordinary differential equations,and will be connected with the control theory via boundary controls in a finite time interval. More precisely,various kinds of exact boundary synchronization and approximate boundary synchronization will be introduced and realized by means of fewer boundary controls for a coupled system of wave equations with Dirichlet boundary controls. Moreover, as necessary conditions for various kinds of approximate boundary synchronization, criteria of Kalman's type are obtained. Finally, some prospects will be given.     

Linear generalized synchronization between two complex networks

In this paper, the linear generalized synchronization between two complex networks is investigated. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, a simple criterion for linear generalized synchronization between two networks with the same connection topologies is attained by using the nonlinear control method, which can widen the application range of the generalized synchronization methods. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is proved in theory and numerical simulations further demonstrate the effectiveness of it.     

Some criteria for the global finite-time synchronization of two Lorenz–Stenflo systems coupled by a new controller

This paper investigates the global finite-time synchronization of two chaotic Lorenz–Stenflo systems coupled by a new controller called the generalized variable substitution controller. First of all, the generalized variable substitution controller is designed to establish the master–slave finite-time synchronization scheme for the Lorenz–Stenflo systems. And then, based on the finite-time stability theory, a sufficient criterion on the finite-time synchronization of this scheme is rigorously verified in the form of matrix and the corresponding estimation for the synchronization time is analytically given. Applying this criterion, some sufficient finite-time synchronization criteria under various generalized variable substitution controllers are further derived in the algebraic form. Finally, some numerical examples are introduced to compare the results proposed in this paper with those proposed in the existing literature, verifying the effectiveness of the criteria obtained.     

Binary generalized synchronization

In this paper we report for the first time on the binary generalized synchronization, when for the certain values of the coupling strength two unidirectionally coupled dynamical systems generating the aperiodic binary sequences are in the generalized synchronization regime. The presence of the binary generalized synchronization has been revealed with the help of both the auxiliary system approach and the largest conditional Lyapunov exponent calculation. The mechanism resulting in the binary generalized synchronization has been explained. The finding discussed in this paper gives a strong potential for new applications under many relevant circumstances.     

The generalized Q-S synchronization between the generalized Lorenz canonical form and the Rössler system

In this paper, we investigate the generalized Q-S synchronization between the generalized Lorenz canonical form and the Rössler system. Firstly, we transform an arbitrary generalized Lorenz system to the generalized Lorenz canonical form, and the relation between the parameter of the generalized Lorenz system and the parameter of the generalized Lorenz canonical form are shown. Secondly, we extend the scheme present by [Yan ZY. Chaos 2005;15:023902] to study the generalized Q-S synchronization between the generalized Lorenz canonical form and the Rössler system, the more general controller is obtained. By choosing different parameter in the generalized controller obtained here, without much extra effort, we can get the controller of synchronization between the Chen system and the Rössler system, the Lü system and the Rössler system, the classic Lorenz system and the Rössler system, the Hyperbolic Lorenz system and the Rössler system, respectively. Finally, numerical simulations are used to perform such synchronization and verify the effectiveness of the controller.     

The generalized synchronization of a Quantum-CNN chaotic oscillator with different order systems

This paper presents a special kind of the generalized synchronization of different order systems, proved by Lyapunov asymptotical stability theorem. A sufficient condition is given for the asymptotical stability of the null solution of an error dynamics. The generalized synchronization developed may be applied to the design of secure communication. Finally, numerical results are studied for a Quantum-CNN oscillator synchronized with three different order systems respectively to show the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization strategy.     

Sur l'état de synchronisation exacte d'un système couplé d'équations des ondes

In this Note, we consider the determination of the state of exact synchronization for a coupled system of wave equations. In a special case, the state of exact synchronization can be uniquely determined whatever the boundary controls would be chosen. In the general case, the state of exact synchronization depends on the boundary controls that realize the exact synchronization. However, we can estimate the difference between the state of exact synchronization and the solution to a problem independent of boundary controls. The determination of the state of exact synchronization by groups is also discussed.

Generalized outer synchronization between complex dynamical networks with time delay and noise perturbation

In this paper, the generalized outer synchronization between two different delay-coupled complex dynamical networks with noise perturbation is investigated. With a nonlinear control scheme, the sufficient condition for almost sure generalized outer synchronization is developed based on the LaSalle-type invariance principle for stochastic differential equations. Numerical examples are examined to illustrate the effectiveness of the analytical results. The theoretic result is also applied to investigate the outer synchronization between two delay-coupled Hindmarsh–Rose neuronal networks with noise perturbation.
