Robust fault-sensitive synchronization of a class of nonlinear systems

Aiming at enhancing the quality as well as the reliability of synchronization,this paper is concerned with the fault detection issue within the synchronization process for a class of nonlinear systems in the existence of external disturbances.To handle such problems,the concept of robust fault-sensitive (RFS) synchronization is proposed,and a method of determining such a kind of synchronization is developed.Under the framework of RFS synchronization,the master and the slave systems are robustly synchronized,and at the same time,sensitive to possible faults based on a mixed H /H ∞ performance.The design of desired output feedback controller is realized by solving a linear matrix inequality,and the fault sensitivity H index can be optimized via a convex optimization algorithm.A master-slave configuration composed of identical Chua’s circuits is adopted as a numerical example to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the analytical results.     

The H_∞ synchronization of nonlinear Bloch systems via dynamic feedback control approach

We consider an H ∞ synchronization problem in nonlinear Bloch systems.Based on Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality formulation,a dynamic feedback controller is designed to guarantee asymptotic stability of the master-slave synchronization.Moreover,this controller reduces the effect of an external disturbance to the H ∞ norm constraint.A numerical example is given to validate the proposed synchronization scheme.     

Circuitry implementation of a novel four-dimensional nonautonomous hyperchaotic Liu system and its experimental studies on synchronization control

Based on the three-dimensional Liu chaotic system, this paper appends a feedback variable to construct a novel hyperchaotic Liu system. Then, a control signal is further added to construct a novel nonautonomous hyperchaotic Liu system. Through adjusting the frequency of the control signal, the chaotic property of the system can be controlled to show some different dynamic behaviors such as periodic, quasi-periodic, chaotic and hyperchaotic dynamic behaviours. By numerical simulations, the Lyapunov exponent spectrums, bifurcation diagrams and phase diagrams of the two new systems are studied, respectively. Furthermore, the synchronizing circuits of the nonautonomous hyperchaotic Liu system are designed via the synchronization control method of single variable coupling feedback. Finally, the hardware circuits are implemented, and the corresponding waves of chaos are observed by an oscillograph.     

Synchronization between a novel class of fractional-order and integer-order chaotic systems via a sliding mode controller

<正>In order to figure out the dynamical behaviour of a fractional-order chaotic system and its relation to an integerorder chaotic system,in this paper we investigate the synchronization between a class of fractional-order chaotic systems and integer-order chaotic systems via sliding mode control method.Stability analysis is performed for the proposed method based on stability theorems in the fractional calculus.Moreover,three typical examples are carried out to show that the synchronization between fractional-order chaotic systems and integer-orders chaotic systems can be achieved. Our theoretical findings are supported by numerical simulation results.Finally,results from numerical computations and theoretical analysis are demonstrated to be a perfect bridge between fractional-order chaotic systems and integer-order chaotic systems.     

Exponential networked synchronization of master-slave chaotic systems with time-varying communication topologies

The networked synchronization problem of a class of master-slave chaotic systems with time-varying communication topologies is investigated in this paper. Based on algebraic graph theory and matrix theory, a simple linear state feedback controller is designed to synchronize the master chaotic system and the slave chaotic systems with a time- varying communication topology connection. The exponential stability of the closed-loop networked synchronization error system is guaranteed by applying Lyapunov stability theory. The derived novel criteria are in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which are easy to examine and tremendously reduce the computation burden from the feedback matrices. This paper provides an alternative networked secure communication scheme which can be extended conveniently. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed networked synchronization method.

Outer synchronization between two different fractional-order general complex dynamical networks

Outer synchronization between two different fractional-order general complex dynamical networks is investigated in this paper.Based on the stability theory of the fractional-order system,the sufficient criteria for outer synchronization are derived analytically by applying the nonlinear control and the bidirectional coupling methods.The proposed synchronization method is applicable to almost all kinds of coupled fractional-order general complex dynamical networks.Neither a symmetric nor irreducible coupling configuration matrix is required.In addition,no constraint is imposed on the inner-coupling matrix.Numerical examples are also provided to demonstrate the validity of the presented synchronization scheme.Numeric evidence shows that both the feedback strength k and the fractional order α can be chosen appropriately to adjust the synchronization effect effectively.     

Synchronization and parameter identification of one class of realistic chaotic circuit

In this paper, the synchronization and the parameter identification of the chaotic Pikovsky--Rabinovich (PR) circuits are investigated. The linear error of the second corresponding variables is used to change the driven chaotic PR circuit, and the complete synchronization of the two identical chaotic PR circuits is realized with feedback intensity k increasing to a certain threshold. The Lyapunov exponents of the chaotic PR circuits are calculated by using different feedback intensities and our results are confirmed. The case where the two chaotic PR circuits are not identical is also investigated. A general positive Lyapunov function V, which consists of all the errors of the corresponding variables and parameters and changeable gain coefficient, is constructed by using the Lyapunov stability theory to study the parameter identification and complete synchronization of two non-identical chaotic circuits. The controllers and the parameter observers could be obtained analytically only by simplifying the criterion dV/dt<0 (differential coefficient of Lyapunov function V with respect to time is negative). It is confirmed that the two non-identical chaotic PR circuits could still reach complete synchronization and all the unknown parameters in the drive system are estimated exactly within a short transient period.     

Fault tolerant synchronization of chaotic systems based on T-S fuzzy model with fuzzy sampled-data controller

In this paper the fault tolerant synchronization of two chaotic systems based on fuzzy model and sample data is investigated. The problem of fault tolerant synchronization is formulated to study the global asymptotical stability of the error system with the fuzzy sampled-data controller which contains a state feedback controller and a fault compensator. The synchronization can be achieved no matter whether the fault occurs or not. To investigate the stability of the error system and facilitate the design of the fuzzy sampled-data controller, a Takagi--Sugeno (T--S) fuzzy model is employed to represent the chaotic system dynamics. To acquire the good performance and produce less conservative analysis result, a new parameter-dependent Lyapunov--Krasovksii functional and a relaxed stabilization technique are considered. The stability conditions based on linear matrix inequality are obtained to achieve the fault tolerant synchronization of the chaotic systems. Finally, a numerical simulation is shown to verify the results.

This paper investigates the adaptive synchronization of hyperchaotic Lii systems based on the method of extended passive control. By combining the feedback control, the extended passive control method with two output variables is developed, which can synchronize hyperchaotic Lu systems asymptotically and globally more easily without knowing the bound of state of the hyperchaotic system. Adaptive laws are introduced to estimate the unknown parameters as well. Simulation results show the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed control scheme.     

Robust H_∞ observer-based control for synchronization of a class of complex dynamical networks

This paper is concerned with the robust H∞ synchronization problem for a class of complex dynamical networks by applying the observer-based control. The proposed feedback control scheme is developed to ensure the asymptotic stability of the augmented system, to reconstruct the non-measurable state variables of each node and to improve the H∞ performance related to the synchronization error and observation error despite the external disturbance. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, a synchronization criterion is obtained under which the controlled network can be robustly stabilized onto a desired state with a guaranteed H∞ performance. The controller and the observer gains can be given by the feasible solutions of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated by a numerical example through simulation.

We mainly investigate the robust networked H∞synchronization problem of nonidentical chaotic Lur’e systems. In the design of the synchronization scheme, some network characteristics, such as nonuniform sampling, transmissioninduced delays, and data packet dropouts, are considered.

The sufficient condition in terms of linear matrix inequality(LMI) is obtained to guarantee the dissipative synchronization of nonidentical chaotic Lur’e systems in network environments. A numerical example is given to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.

A new output feedback synchronization theorem for a class of chaotic systems with a scalar transmitted signal

This paper proposes a new, simple and yet applicable output feedback synchronization theorem for a large class of chaotic systems. We take a linear combination of drive system state variables as a scale-driving signal. It is proved that synchronization between the drive and the response systems can be obtained via a simple linear output error feedback control. The linear feedback gain is a function of a free parameter. The approach is illustrated using the R\"{o}ssler hyperchaotic systems and Chua's chaotic oscillators.     

Complete synchronization between two bi-directionally coupled chaotic systems via an adaptive feedback controller

In this paper, we apply a simple adaptive feedback control scheme to synchronize two bi-directionally coupled chaotic systems. Based on the invariance principle of differential equations, sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic synchronization between two bi-directionally coupled chaotic systems via an adaptive feedback controller are given. Unlike other control schemes for bi-directionally coupled systems, this scheme is very simple to implement in practice and need not consider coupling terms. As examples, the autonomous hyperchaotic Chen systems and the new non-autonomous 4D systems are illustrated. Numerical simulations show that the proposed method is effective and robust against the effect of weak noise.
