Robust adaptive synchronization of different uncertain chaotic systems subject to input nonlinearity

In this paper, an adaptive controller is designed to ensure robust synchronization of two different chaotic systems with input nonlinearities. For this purpose, a stable sliding surface is defined and an adaptive sliding mode controller is designed to achieve robust synchronization of the systems when the control input is influenced through nonlinearities produced by actuator or external uncertainty recourses. The adaptation law guarantees the synchronization assuming of unknown model uncertainty. Furthermore by adding an integrator and incorporating a saturation function in the control law, the chattering phenomenon caused by the sign function is avoided. The simulation results for synchronization of Chua’s circuit and Genesio systems show the efficiency of the proposed technique.     

Synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic oscillators under input saturation

This paper addresses the design of simple state feedback controllers for synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic oscillators under input saturation and disturbance. By employing sector condition, linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based sufficient conditions are derived to design (global or local) controllers for chaos synchronization. The proposed local synchronization strategy guarantees a region of stability in terms of difference between states of the master–slave systems. This region of stability can be enlarged by means of an LMI-based optimization algorithm, through which asymptotic synchronization of chaotic oscillators can be ensured for a large difference in their initial conditions. Further, a novel LMI-based robust control strategy is developed, for local synchronization of input-constrained chaotic oscillators, by providing an upper bound on synchronization error in terms of disturbance and initial conditions of chaotic systems. Moreover, the proposed robust state feedback control methodology is modified to provide an inaugural treatment for robust anti-synchronization of chaotic systems under input saturation and disturbance. The results of the proposed methodologies are verified through numerical simulations for synchronization and anti-synchronization of the master–slave chaotic Chua’s circuits under input saturation.     

Receding Horizon Robust Control for Nonlinear Systems Based on Linear Differential Inclusion of Neural Networks

In this paper, we present a new receding horizon neural robust control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems based on the linear differential inclusion (LDI) representation of neural networks. First, we propose a linear matrix inequality (LMI) condition on the terminal weighting matrix for a receding horizon neural robust control scheme. This condition guarantees the nonincreasing monotonicity of the saddle point value of the finite horizon dynamic game. We then propose a receding horizon neural robust control scheme for nonlinear systems, which ensures the infinite horizon robust performance and the internal stability of closed-loop systems. Since the proposed control scheme can effectively deal with input and state constraints in an optimization problem, it does not cause the instability problem or give the poor performance associated with the existing neural robust control schemes.     

Sliding mode control for uncertain chaotic systems with input nonlinearity

For the sliding mode controller of uncertain chaotic systems subject to input nonlinearity, the upper bound of the norm of uncertainties is commonly used to determine the controller parameter. However, this will cause serious chattering. In order to overcome this drawback, two new sliding mode controllers are proposed to ensure robust synchronization for a classes of chaotic systems with input nonlinearities and external uncertainty. Compared with the existing results, the proposed controllers can effectively reduce the chattering nearby sliding mode and improve the dynamic performance of the systems. Simulation results are provided to verify the proposed methods.

A robust high-gain observer for state and unknown input estimations for a special class of single-output nonlinear systems is developed in this article. Ensuring the observability of the unknown input with respect to the output, the disturbance can be estimated from the sliding surface. In the sliding mode, the convergence of the estimation error dynamics is proven similar to the analysis of high-gain observers.

Robust adaptive neural network synchronization controller design for a class of time delay uncertain chaotic systems

In this paper, a robust adaptive neural network synchronization controller is proposed for two chaotic systems with input time delay and uncertainty. The studied chaotic system may possess a wide class of nonlinear time-delayed input uncertainty. The radial basis function (RBF) neural network is used to approximate the unknown continuous bounded function item of the time delay uncertainty via appropriate weight value updated law. With the output of RBF neural network, a robust adaptive synchronization control scheme is presented for the time delay uncertain chaotic system. Finally, a simulation example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization control scheme.     

Robust Reliable Control for Uncertain Time-Delay Systems with IQC Performance

A robust reliable control with integral quadratic constraint (IQC) performance for a class of uncertain systems with state and input delays is considered in this paper. Two classes of failure situations for sensor or actuator are studied. In the first class, a delay-dependent criterion for time-delay systems without perturbations is proposed to design the reliable control with IQC performance. Next, a criterion for uncertain time-delay systems with parameter uncertainties is obtained via simple derivations. The linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is used to design a robust reliable state feedback control with IQC performance. In the second class, a reliable control with IQC performance is also provided from he previous method. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the procedure.

The performance of the proposed control law is illustrated with numerical simulations. The method is general and can be applied to various non-linear systems which satisfy the conditions required.

In this article, a control scheme combining radial basis function neural network and discrete sliding mode control method is proposed for robust tracking and model following of uncertain time‐delay systems with input nonlinearity. The proposed robust tracking controller guarantees the stability of overall closed‐loop system and achieves zero‐tracking error in the presence of input nonlinearity, time‐delays, time‐varying parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances. The salient features of the proposed controller include no requirement of a priori knowledge of the upper bound of uncertainties and the elimination of chattering phenomenon and reaching phase.

Robust decentralized adaptive control for uncertain large-scale delayed systems with input nonlinearities

The paper is concerned with the problem of robust stabilization for uncertain large-scale time-varying delayed systems with input nonlinearities. Based on the sliding mode control, a memoryless decentralized adaptive sliding mode controller (DASMC) is developed. The proposed controller ensures the occurrence of the sliding manifold of the composite system even subjected to input nonlinearity. It shows that the uncertain nonlinear large-scale system also possesses the property of insensitivity to uncertainties and disturbances as a linear system does. A numerical example is given to verify the validity of the developed memoryless DASMC.     

Decentralized robust control for a class of uncertain large-scale interconnected nonlinear dynamical systems

The problem of the decentralized robust control for a class of large-scale interconnected nonlinear dynamical systems with input interconnection and external interconnection perturbations is considered. Based on the stabilizability of each nominal isolated subsystem (i.e., the isolated subsystem in the absence of interconnection perturbations), a class of decentralized local state feedback controllers is proposed, and some sufficient conditions are derived by making use of the Lyapunov stability criterion such that uncertain large-scale interconnected systems can be stabilized asymptotically by these decentralized state feedback controllers. For large-scale systems with only input interconnection perturbations, such decentralized controllers become a class of decentralized stabilizing state feedback controllers. That is, the decentralized stability of such large-scale systems can be guaranteed always by using the decentralized state feedback controllers proposed in the paper. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the results.     

Simple robust technique using time delay estimation for the control and synchronization of Lorenz systems

This work presents two simple and robust techniques based on time delay estimation for the respective control and synchronization of chaos systems. First, one of these techniques is applied to the control of a chaotic Lorenz system with both matched and mismatched uncertainties. The nonlinearities in the Lorenz system is cancelled by time delay estimation and desired error dynamics is inserted. Second, the other technique is applied to the synchronization of the Lü system and the Lorenz system with uncertainties. The synchronization input consists of three elements that have transparent and clear meanings.Since time delay estimation enables a very effective and efficient cancellation of disturbances and nonlinearities, the techniques turn out to be simple and robust. Numerical simulation results show fast, accurate and robust performance of the proposed techniques, thereby demonstrating their effectiveness for the control and synchronization of Lorenz systems.     

Robust tracking and model following for uncertain time‐delay systems with input nonlinearity

This article proposes a novel adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) scheme to realize the problem of robust tracking and model following for a class of uncertain time‐delay systems with input nonlinearity. It is shown that the proposed robust tracking controller guarantees the stability of overall closed‐loop system and achieves zero‐tracking error in the presence of input nonlinearity, time‐delays, time‐varying parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The selection of sliding surface and the existence of sliding mode are two important issues, which have been addressed. This scheme assures robustness against input nonlinearity, time‐delays, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances. Moreover, the knowledge of the upper bound of uncertainties is not required and chattering phenomenon is eliminated. Both theoretical analysis and illustrative examples demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 66–73, 2015

Disturbance rejection in robust PdE-based MRAC laws for uncertain heterogeneous multiagent networks under boundary reference

Disturbance is a pervasive source of uncertainty in most applications. This paper presents model reference adaptive control (MRAC) laws for uncertain multiagent networks with a disturbance rejection capability. The algorithms proposed can also be viewed as the extension of the robust model reference adaptive control (MRAC) laws with disturbance rejection recently derived for systems described by parabolic and hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with spatially-varying parameters under distributed sensing and actuation to heterogeneous multiagent networks characterized by parameter uncertainty. The latter extension is carried out using partial difference equations (PdEs) on graphs that preserve parabolic and hyperbolic like cumulative network behavior. Unlike in the PDE case, only boundary input is specified for the reference model. The algorithms proposed directly incorporate this boundary reference input into the reference PdE to generate the distributed admissible reference evolution profile followed by the agents. The agent evolution thus depends only on the interaction with the adjacent agents, making the system fully decentralized. Numerical examples are presented as well. The resulting PdE MRAC laws inherit the robust linear structure of their PDE counterparts.
