Controlling projective synchronization in coupled chaotic systems

In this paper, a new method for controlling projective synchronization in coupled chaotic systems is presented. The control method is based on a partially linear decomposition and negative feedback of state errors. Firstly, the synchronizability of the proposed projective synchronization control method is proved mathematically. Then, three different representative examples are discussed to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed control method.     

Quantifying the synchronizability of externally driven oscillators

This paper is focused on the problem of complete synchronization in arrays of externally driven identical or slightly different oscillators. These oscillators are coupled by common driving which makes an occurrence of generalized synchronization between a driving signal and response oscillators possible. Therefore, the phenomenon of generalized synchronization is also analyzed here. The research is concentrated on the cases of an irregular (chaotic or stochastic) driving signal acting on continuous-time (Duffing systems) and discrete-time (Henon maps) response oscillators. As a tool for quantifying the robustness of the synchronized state, response (conditional) Lyapunov exponents are applied. The most significant result presented in this paper is a novel method of estimation of the largest response Lyapunov exponent. This approach is based on the complete synchronization of two twin response subsystems via additional master-slave coupling between them. Examples of the method application and its comparison with the classical algorithm for calculation of Lyapunov exponents are widely demonstrated. Finally, the idea of effective response Lyapunov exponents, which allows us to quantify the synchronizability in case of slightly different response oscillators, is introduced.     

Impulsive Synchronization of Lü Chaotic System Based on Small Impulsive Signal

In this Letter the issue of impulsive synchronization of the Lü chaotic system is developed. We propose an impulsive synchronization scheme of the Lü chaotic system including chaotic systems. Some new and sufficient conditions on varying impulsive distance are established in order to guarantee the synchronizability of the systems using the synchronization method. In particular, some simple conditions are derived in synchronizing the systems by equal impulsive distances. The proposed impulsive synchronization scheme is applied to the Lü chaotic system and the numerical example demonstrates the effectiveness of the method. The boundaries of the stable regions are also estimated.     

Enhancing synchronizability by weight randomization on regular networks

In weighted networks, redistribution of link weights can effectively change the properties of networks, even though the corresponding binary topology remains unchanged. In this paper, the effects of weight randomization on synchronization of coupled chaotic maps is investigated on regular weighted networks. The results reveal that synchronizability is enhanced by redistributing of link weights, i.e. coupled maps reach complete synchronization with lower cost. Furthermore, we show numerically that the heterogeneity of link weights could improve the complete synchronization on regular weighted networks.     

Lag projective synchronization in fractional-order chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems

In this Letter, a new lag projective synchronization for fractional-order chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems is proposed, which includes complete synchronization, anti-synchronization, lag synchronization, generalized projective synchronization. It is shown that the slave system synchronizes the past state of the driver up to a scaling factor. A suitable controller for achieving the lag projective synchronization is designed based on the stability theory of linear fractional-order systems and the pole placement technique. Two examples are given to illustrate effectiveness of the scheme, in which the lag projective synchronizations between fractional-order chaotic Rössler system and fractional-order chaotic Lü system, between fractional-order hyperchaotic Lorenz system and fractional-order hyperchaotic Chen system, respectively, are successfully achieved. Corresponding numerical simulations are also given to verify the analytical results.     

Dynamical weights and enhanced synchronization in adaptive complex networks

Dynamical organization of connection weights is studied in scale-free networks of chaotic oscillators, where the coupling strength of a node from its neighbors develops adaptively according to the local synchronization property between the node and its neighbors. We find that when complete synchronization is achieved, the coupling strength becomes weighted and correlated with the topology due to a hierarchical transition to synchronization in heterogeneous networks. Importantly, such an adaptive process enhances significantly the synchronizability of the networks, which could have meaningful implications in the manipulation of dynamical networks.     

Designing synchronization schemes for fractional-order chaotic system via a single state fractional-order controller

In this paper the synchronization of fractional-order chaotic systems is studied and a new single state fractional-order chaotic controller for chaos synchronization is presented based on the Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed synchronized method can apply to an arbitrary three-dimensional fractional chaotic system whether the system is incommensurate or commensurate. This approach is universal, simple and theoretically rigorous. Numerical simulations of several fractional-order chaotic systems demonstrate the universality and the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Complex lag synchronization of two identical chaotic complex nonlinear systems

Much progress has been made in the research of synchronization for chaotic real or complex nonlinear systems. In this paper we introduce a new type of synchronization which can be studied only for chaotic complex nonlinear systems. This type of synchronization may be called complex lag synchronization (CLS). A definition of CLS is introduced and investigated for two identical chaotic complex nonlinear systems. Based on Lyapunov function a scheme is designed to achieve CLS of chaotic attractors of these systems. The effectiveness of the obtained results is illustrated by a simulation example. Numerical results are plotted to show state variables, modulus errors and phase errors of these chaotic attractors after synchronization to prove that CLS is achieved.

Adaptive complete synchronization of two identical or different chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems with fully unknown parameters

This paper studies the adaptive complete synchronization of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems with fully unknown parameters. In practical situations, some systems' parameters cannot be exactly known a priori, and the uncertainties often affect the stability of the process of synchronization of the chaotic oscillators. An adaptive scheme is proposed to compensate for the effects of parameters' uncertainty based on the structure of chaotic systems in this paper. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, an adaptive controller and a parameters update law can be designed for the synchronization of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. The drive and response systems can be nonidentical, even with different order. Three illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the validity of this technique, and numerical simulations are also given to show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization method. In addition, this synchronization scheme is quite robust against the effect of noise.     

Further results on complete synchronization for noise-perturbed chaotic systems

In this Letter, a class of general systems which covers several famous chaotic systems is studied in complete synchronization with noise perturbation. Special nonlinear coupling techniques as well as LaSalle-type invariance principle of stochastic differential equations are employed to deduce our sufficient conditions for complete synchronization without involving the boundedness of chaotic systems. Furthermore, the correlative numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretic results.

Bidirectional Partial Generalized Synchronization in Chaotic and Hyperchaotic Systems via a New Scheme

In this paper, a bidirectional partial generalized (lag, complete, and anticipated) synchronization of a class of continuous-time systems is defined. Then based on the active control idea, a new systematic and concrete scheme is developed to achieve bidirectional partial generalized (lag, complete, and anticipated) synchronization between two chaotic systems or between chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. With the help of symbolic-numerical computation, we choose the modified Chua system, Lorenz system, and the hyperchaotic Tamasevicius-Namajunas-Cenys system to illustrate the proposed scheme. Numerical simulations are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. It is interesting that partial chaos synchronization not only can take place between two chaotic systems, but also can take place between chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. The proposed scheme can also be extended to research bidirectional partial generalized (lag, complete, and anticipated) synchronization between other dynamical systems.

In this paper, a simplified control is proposed to realize chaotic synchronization based on two identical memristor-based chaotic systems. Firstly, by using a cubic function model of memristor, a memristor-based chaotic system is realized by circuit emulation. Secondly, based on the minimum phase system and Routh–Hurwitz criterion, the state trajectories of two identical chaotic systems can be asymptotically synchronized by the proposed simplified control. The simulation results illustrate that the designed simplified control is effective to chaotic synchronization. Finally, an encryption scheme of color image using DNA encoding is proposed based on chaotic synchronization, and the results of statistical analysis are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in image processing.

Synchronization of chaotic oscillator time scales

We consider chaotic oscillator synchronization and propose a new approach for detecting the synchronized behavior of chaotic oscillators. This approach is based on analysis of different time scales in the time series generated by coupled chaotic oscillators. We show that complete synchronization, phase synchronization, lag synchronization, and generalized synchronization are particular cases of the synchronized behavior called time-scale synchronization. A quantitative measure of chaotic oscillator synchronous behavior is proposed. This approach is applied to coupled Rössler systems.     

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.     

An approach to chaotic synchronization

This paper deals with the chaotic oscillator synchronization. An approach to the synchronization of chaotic oscillators has been proposed. This approach is based on the analysis of different time scales in the time series generated by the coupled chaotic oscillators. It has been shown that complete synchronization, phase synchronization, lag synchronization, and generalized synchronization are the particular cases of the synchronized behavior called "time-scale synchronization." The quantitative measure of chaotic oscillator synchronous behavior has been proposed. This approach has been applied for the coupled R?ssler systems and two coupled Chua's circuits.     

Robust pre-specified time synchronization of chaotic systems by employing time-varying switching surfaces in the sliding mode control scheme

In the conventional chaos synchronization methods, the time at which two chaotic systems are synchronized, is usually unknown and depends on initial conditions. In this work based on Lyapunov stability theory a sliding mode controller with time-varying switching surfaces is proposed to achieve chaos synchronization at a pre-specified time for the first time. The proposed controller is able to synchronize chaotic systems precisely at any time when we want. Moreover, by choosing the time-varying switching surfaces in a way that the reaching phase is eliminated, the synchronization becomes robust to uncertainties and exogenous disturbances. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method of stabilizing and synchronizing chaotic systems with complete robustness to uncertainty and disturbances exactly at a pre-specified time.
