Globally exponential multi switching-combination synchronization control of chaotic systems for secure communications

This article introduces the global exponential multi switching combination synchronization (GEMSCS) for three different chaotic systems with known parameters in the master-slave system configuration. The proposed GEMSCS scheme establishes the global exponential stability of the synchronization error at the origin with different combinations of state variables of the two master chaotic systems with the state variables of a slave chaotic system in diverse manners. Consequently, it increases the complexity level of the information signal in secure communications. To study the GEMSCS, an efficient nonlinear control algorithm is designed. The Lyapunov direct theorem is used to accomplish the global exponential stability of the synchronization error at the origin. The stability conditions are derived analytically. To show the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed GEMSCS control approach, two numerical examples are presented. The computer based simulation results are compared with the reported works in the relevant literature. This article also extends the idea of GEMSCS to the secure communication using the chaotic masking technique. Using the GEMSCS strategy, the information signal is recovered at the receiving system with good accuracy and high speed while the parameters of the transmitter and receiver systems mismatch. At the end, some future research problems related to this work are suggested.     

Exponential synchronization of complex networks with nonidentical time-delayed dynamical nodes

In this Letter, exponential synchronization of a complex network with nonidentical time-delayed dynamical nodes is considered. Two effective control schemes are proposed to drive the network to synchronize globally exponentially onto any smooth goal dynamics. By applying open-loop control to all nodes and adding some intermittent controllers to partial nodes, some simple criteria for exponential synchronization of such network are established. Meanwhile, a pinning scheme deciding which nodes need to be pinned and a simply approximate formula for estimating the least number of pinned nodes are also provided. By introducing impulsive effects to the open-loop controlled network, another synchronization scheme is developed for the network with nonidentical time-delayed dynamical nodes, and an estimate of the upper bound of impulsive intervals ensuring global exponential stability of the synchronization process is also given. Numerical simulations are presented finally to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Global synchronization in arrays of delayed neural networks with constant and delayed coupling

This Letter investigates the global exponential synchronization in arrays of coupled identical delayed neural networks (DNNs) with constant and delayed coupling. By referring to Lyapunov functional method and Kronecker product technique, some sufficient conditions are derived for global synchronization of such systems. These new synchronization criteria offer some adjustable matrix parameters, which is of important significance in the design and applications of such coupled DNNs, and the results improve and extend the earlier works. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the theoretical results.     

Global impulsive exponential synchronization of stochastic perturbed chaotic delayed neural networks

In this paper, the global impulsive exponential synchronization problem of a class of chaotic delayed neural networks (DNNs) with stochastic perturbation is studied. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, stochastic analysis approach and an efficient impulsive delay differential inequality, some new exponential synchronization criteria expressed in the form of the linear matrix inequality (LMI) are derived. The designed impulsive controller not only can globally exponentially stabilize the error dynamics in mean square, but also can control the exponential synchronization rate. Furthermore, to estimate the stable region of the synchronization error dynamics, a novel optimization control algorithm is proposed, which can deal with the minimum problem with two nonlinear terms coexisting in LMIs effectively. Simulation results finally demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Robust lag synchronization between two different chaotic systems via dual-stage impulsive control

In this paper, an improved impulsive lag synchronization scheme for different chaotic systems with parametric uncertainties is proposed. Based on the new definition of synchronization with error bound and a novel impulsive control scheme (the so-called dual-stage impulsive control), some new and less conservative sufficient conditions are established to guarantee that the error dynamics can converge to a predetermined level, which is more reasonable and rigorous than the existing results. In particular, some simpler and more convenient conditions are derived by taking the same impulsive distances and control gains. Finally, some numerical simulations for the Lorenz system and the Chen system are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.     

Synchronization rate of synchronized coupled systems

Synchronization phenomena, an emergent property in networks of interacting dynamical elements, are widely observed in nature, and have become the subject of intense research. Here we will investigate the synchronization rate problem in coupled limit-cycle and chaotic oscillators. Based on the mode decomposition method and Gershgörin's discs theorem, some sufficient conditions for synchronization of coupled systems are obtained, and a synchronization rate is then derived. Such a synchronization rate indicates that the error functions between state variables of underlying individual systems tend to zero in the exponential form as time tends to the infinity. Several numerical examples are also given to validate the theoretical results.

Finally, an application to the linearly coupled Hopfield neural networks and several simulations are provided for verifying the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

A Lie algebraic condition for exponential stability of discrete hybrid systems and application to hybrid synchronization

A Lie algebraic condition for global exponential stability of linear discrete switched impulsive systems is presented in this paper. By considering a Lie algebra generated by all subsystem matrices and impulsive matrices, when not all of these matrices are Schur stable, we derive new criteria for global exponential stability of linear discrete switched impulsive systems. Moreover, simple sufficient conditions in terms of Lie algebra are established for the synchronization of nonlinear discrete systems using a hybrid switching and impulsive control. As an application, discrete chaotic system's synchronization is investigated by the proposed method.     

Novel criteria for exponential synchronization of inner time-varying complex networks with coupling delay

This paper mainly investigates the exponential synchronization of an inner time-varying complex network with coupling delay. Firstly, the synchronization of complex networks is decoupled into the stability of the corresponding dynamical systems. Based on the Lyapunov function theory, some sufficient conditions to guarantee its stability with any given convergence rate are derived, thus the synchronization of the networks is achieved. Finally, the results are illustrated by a simple time-varying network model with a coupling delay. All involved numerical simulations verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis.     

Impulsive control and synchronization of a new chaotic system

This Letter derives some sufficient conditions for the stabilization and synchronization of the new chaotic system proposed by [G.Y. Qi, et al., Physica A 352 (2005) 295] via an impulsive method. Some new and less conservative criteria for the global exponential stability and asymptotical stability of impulsively controlled new chaotic system are obtained with varying impulsive intervals. In particular, some simple and easily verified criteria are established with equivalent impulsive intervals. An illustrative example is finally included to visualize the effectiveness and feasibility of the developed methods.     

A novel mixed-synchronization phenomenon in coupled Chua’s circuits via non-fragile linear control

Dynamical variables of coupled nonlinear oscillators can exhibit different synchronization patterns depending on the designed coupling scheme.In this paper,a non-fragile linear feedback control strategy with multiplicative controller gain uncertainties is proposed for realizing the mixed-synchronization of Chua’s circuits connected in a drive-response configuration.In particular,in the mixed-synchronization regime,different state variables of the response system can evolve into complete synchronization,anti-synchronization and even amplitude death simultaneously with the drive variables for an appropriate choice of scaling matrix.Using Lyapunov stability theory,we derive some sufficient criteria for achieving global mixed-synchronization.It is shown that the desired non-fragile state feedback controller can be constructed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs).Numerical simulations are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.     

Robust output synchronization of phase planar systems

We propose a technique to synchronize, under the master/slave synchronization scheme, two planar systems represented by phase state variables; we name them phase planar systems. The coupling signal has a discontinuous term that produces a closed-loop system having good characteristics of robustness with respect to bounded disturbances and parametric variations, and guarantees exponential convergence to the synchronization state. In general, the coupling signal needs the full state vector of both systems, but because we assume that only the system outputs are available, we include a robust observer. This observer also guarantees exponential convergence to the state of the plant in spite of the existence of bounded disturbances and parametric variations; this characteristic facilitates the stability analysis of the closed-loop system. The performance of the synchronization technique is illustrated with experimental results.     

Cluster exponential synchronization of a class of complex networks with hybrid coupling and time-varying delay

This paper deals with the cluster exponential synchronization of a class ot complex networks wlm nyorm coupm~g and time-varying delay. Through constructing an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and applying the theory of the Kronecker product of matrices and the linear matrix inequality （LMI） technique, several novel sufficient conditions for cluster exponential synchronization are obtained. These cluster exponential synchronization conditions adopt the bounds of both time delay and its derivative, which are less conservative. Finally, the numerical simulations are performed to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Complete switched modified function projective synchronization of a five-term chaotic system with uncertain parameters and disturbances

A five-term three-dimensional (3D) autonomous chaotic system with an exponential nonlinear term is reported in this paper. Basic dynamical behaviours of the chaotic system are further investigated. Then a new synchronization phenomenon, complete switched modified function projective synchronization (CSMFPS), for this novel five-term chaotic system with uncertain parameters and disturbances is investigated. This paper extends previous work, where CSMFPS of chaotic systems means that all the state variables of the drive system synchronize with different state variables of the response system. As the synchronization scheme has many combined forms, it is a promising type of synchronization and can provide greater security in secure communication. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, a robust adaptive controller is contrived to acquire CSMFPS, parameter identification and suppress disturbances simultaneously. Finally, the Lorenz system and the new five-term chaotic system are taken as examples and the corresponding numerical simulations are presented to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control scheme.

Function projective synchronization between two different complex networks with correlated random disturbances

Although function projective synchronization in complex dynamical networks has been extensively studied in the literature, few papers deal with the problem between two different complex networks with correlated random disturbances.In this paper, we present some novel techniques to analyze the problem of synchronization. A probability approach is introduced to obtain an almost sure synchronization criterion. We also present some efficient approaches to analyze the problem of exponential synchronization. For the problem of synchronization in some complex networks, our approaches not only can replace the La Salle-type theorem but also allow improvements of existing results in the literature. Finally,some numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
