Adaptive-impulsive projective synchronization of drive-response delayed complex dynamical networks with time-varying coupling

This paper investigates the adaptive-impulsive projective synchronization of drive-response delayed complex dynamical networks with time-varying coupling, in which the weights of links between two connected nodes are time varying. By the stability analysis of the impulsive functional differential equation, the sufficient conditions for achieving projective synchronization are obtained, and a hybrid controller, that is, an adaptive feedback controller with impulsive control effects is designed. The numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed synchronization criteria.     

Complex projective synchronization in coupled chaotic complex dynamical systems

In previous papers, the projective factors are always chosen as real numbers, real matrices, or even real-valued functions, which means the coupled systems evolve in the same or inverse direction simultaneously. However, in many practical situations, the drive-response systems may evolve in different directions with a constant intersection angle. Therefore, the projective synchronization with respect to a complex factor, called complex projective synchronization (CPS), should be taken into consideration. In this paper, based on Lyapunov stability theory, three typical chaotic complex dynamical systems are considered and the corresponding controllers are designed to achieve the complex projective synchronization. Further, an adaptive control method is adopted to design a universal controller for partially linear systems. Numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Complex projective synchronization in drive-response networks coupled with complex-variable chaotic systems

In drive-response complex-variable systems, projective synchronization with respect to a real number, real matrix, or even real function means that drive-response systems evolve simultaneously along the same or inverse direction in a complex plane. However, in many practical situations, the drive-response systems may evolve in different directions with a constant intersection angle. Therefore, this paper investigates projective synchronization in drive-response networks of coupled complex-variable chaotic systems with respect to complex numbers, called complex projective synchronization (CPS). The adaptive feedback control method is adopted first to achieve CPS in a general drive-response network. For a special class of drive-response networks, the CPS is achieved via pinning control. Furthermore, a universal pinning control scheme is proposed via the adaptive coupling strength method, several simple and useful criteria for CPS are obtained, and all results are illustrated by numerical examples.

Impulsive pinning complex dynamical networks and applications to firing neuronal synchronization

The primary objective of this paper is to propose a new approach for analyzing pinning stability in a complex dynamical network via impulsive control. A?simple yet generic criterion of impulsive pinning synchronization for such coupled oscillator network is derived analytically. It is shown that a single impulsive controller can always pin a given complex dynamical network to a homogeneous solution. Subsequently, the theoretic result is applied to a small-world (SW) neuronal network comprised of the Hindmarsh?CRose oscillators. It turns out that the firing activities of a single neuron can induce synchronization of the underlying neuronal networks. This conclusion is obviously in consistence with empirical evidence from the biological experiments, which plays a significant role in neural signal encoding and transduction of information processing for neuronal activity. Finally, simulations are provided to demonstrate the practical nature of the theoretical results.     

Mixed outer synchronization of dynamical networks with nonidentical nodes and output coupling

Outer synchronization between the drive network and the response network has attracted much more attention in various fields of science and engineering. In this paper, mixed outer synchronization between two complex dynamical networks with nonidentical nodes and output coupling is investigated via impulsive hybrid control, that is, an adaptive feedback controller with impulsive control effects. Moreover, both the cases of complex networks without and with coupling delay are considered. According to the stability analysis of the impulsive functional differential equation, several sufficient conditions for the networks to achieve mixed outer synchronization are derived. Numerical examples are presented finally to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed synchronization criteria.     

Adaptive impulsive synchronization of uncertain drive-response complex-variable chaotic systems

In this paper, impulsive synchronization of drive-response complex-variable chaotic systems is investigated. The drive-response systems with known parameters is considered via impulsive control and adaptive scheme as well as systems with unknown parameters. Noticeably, adaptive strategy is adopted to relax the restriction on the impulsive interval, and the system parameters need not to be known beforehand. According to the Lyapunov stability theory, some synchronization criteria are derived and verified by several numerical simulations.     

Synchronization analysis of directed complex networks with time-delayed dynamical nodes and impulsive effects

In this paper, the effect of impulses on the synchronization of a class of general delayed dynamical networks is analyzed. The network topology is assumed to be directed and weakly connected with a spanning tree. Two types of impulses occurred in the states of nodes are considered: (i) synchronizing impulses meaning that they can enhance the synchronization of dynamical networks; and (ii) desynchronizing impulses defined as the impulsive effects can suppress the synchronization of dynamical networks. For each type of impulses, some novel and less conservative globally exponential synchronization criteria are derived by using the concept of average impulsive interval and the comparison principle. It is shown that the derived criteria are closely related with impulse strengths, average impulsive interval, and topology structure of the networks. The obtained results not only can provide an effective impulsive control strategy to synchronize an arbitrary given delayed dynamical network even if the original network may be asynchronous itself but also indicate that under which impulsive perturbations globally exponential synchronization of the underlying delayed dynamical networks can be preserved. Numerical simulations are finally given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

A new chaos synchronization scheme and its application to secure communications

Under the framework of drive-response systems, a new method of complete dislocated general hybrid projective synchronization (CDGHPS) is proposed. In this design, every state variable of drive system does not equal the corresponding state variable of response system, but equal other ones of response system while evolving in time. Especially, complete dislocated synchronization, dislocated anti-synchronization and projective dislocated synchronization can be considered all as the special cases of the proposed method. In addition, this method is applied to secure communication through chaotic masking, the unpredictability of the scaling factor in projective synchronization can additionally enhance the security of communication. In consideration of random white noise, we study the random white noise perturbing for the transmission of an information signal. Finally, eliminate noise using wavelet transform. Numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness of these methods.

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.

Finally, two examples and their numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed synchronization schemes.

Synchronization of chaotic systems using fuzzy impulsive control

This paper investigates the problem of fuzzy impulsive control to synchronize two chaotic systems using a novel time-dependent Lyapunov function approach. Compared with the existing time-independent Lyapunov methods, the proposed method enables us to exploit more information on the impulsive intervals. Initially, using the Lyapunov technique and two parameterized linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques, some less conservative synchronization criteria via a fuzzy impulsive controller using the states of both drive and response chaotic systems are derived. Subsequently, an LMI approach to designing such a fuzzy impulsive controller is developed to realize the synchronization. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the chaotic Lorenz system and Rösler system to illustrate its effectiveness.     

Projective synchronization of nonlinear-coupled spatiotemporal chaotic systems

The projective synchronization of one-dimensional discrete spatiotemporal chaotic systems is discussed in this paper. The coupling equation is determined by suitably separating the linear term and the nonlinear term of the dynamic function, and two coupled map lattices reach projective synchronization by the nonlinear-coupling method. Besides, this method is expanded to the projective synchronization of the complex network composed by coupled map lattices. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the scheme.

In this paper, a projective synchronization problem of master–slave chaotic systems is investigated. More specifically, a fuzzy adaptive controller is investigated for a projective synchronization of uncertain multivariable chaotic systems. The adaptive fuzzy-logic systems are used to approximate the unknown functions. A decomposition property of the control gain matrix is used in the controller design and the stability analysis. A Lyapunov approach is employed to derive the parameter adaptation laws and prove the boundedness of all signals of the closed-loop system as well as the exponential convergence of the synchronization errors to an adjustable region. Numerical simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme.
