Finite-time synchronization of uncertain unified chaotic systems based on CLF

This paper studies the problem of finite-time synchronization for the unified chaotic systems. We prove that global finite-time synchronization can be achieved for unified chaotic systems which have uncertain parameters. Simulation results for Lorenz, Lü and Chen chaotic systems are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Chaos in Kolmogorov systems with proliferation - general criteria and applications

We provide general criteria for existence of chaotic dynamics in Kolmogorov systems with proliferation. As applications, we provide a new proof of chaoticity of a class of constant coefficient birth-and-death systems and also show that a finite difference discretization of a class of drift diffusion equations generates chaotic dynamics. We also present a general method of constructing chaotic Kolmogorov systems.     

Finite time synchronization of chaotic systems

Using finite time control techniques, continuous state feedback control laws are developed to solve the synchronization problem of two chaotic systems. We demonstrate that these two chaotic systems can be synchronized in finite time. Examples of Duffing systems, Lorenz systems are presented to verify our method.     

Chaos in temporarily destabilized regular systems with the slow passage effect

We provide evidences for chaotic behaviour in temporarily destabilized regular systems. In particular, we focus on time-continuous systems with the slow passage effect. The extreme sensitivity of the slow passage phase enables the existence of long chaotic transients induced by random pulsatile perturbations, thereby evoking chaotic behaviour in an initially regular system. We confirm the chaotic behaviour of the temporarily destabilized system by calculating the largest Lyapunov exponent. Moreover, we show that the newly obtained unstable periodic orbits can be easily controlled with conventional chaos control techniques, thereby guaranteeing a rich diversity of accessible dynamical states that is usually expected only in intrinsically chaotic systems. Additionally, we discuss the biological importance of presented results.     

Estimating parameters of chaotic systems under noise-induced synchronization

Kim et al. introduced in 2002 [Kim CM, Rim S, Kye WH. Sequential synchronization of chaotic systems with an application to communication. Phys Rev Lett 2002;88:014103] a hierarchically structured communication scheme based on sequential synchronization, a modification of noise-induced synchronization (NIS). We propose in this paper an approach that can estimate the parameters of chaotic systems under NIS. In this approach, a dimensionally-expanded parameter estimating system is first constructed according to the original chaotic system. By feeding chaotic transmitted signal and external driving signal, the parameter estimating system can be synchronized with the original chaotic system. Consequently, parameters would be estimated. Numerical simulation shows that this approach can estimate all the parameters of chaotic systems under two feeding modes, which implies the potential weakness of the chaotic communication scheme under NIS or sequential synchronization.     

Evolving chaos: Identifying new attractors of the generalised Lorenz family

In a recent paper, we presented an intelligent evolutionary search technique through genetic programming (GP) for finding new analytical expressions of nonlinear dynamical systems, similar to the classical Lorenz attractor's which also exhibit chaotic behaviour in the phase space. In this paper, we extend our previous finding to explore yet another gallery of new chaotic attractors which are derived from the original Lorenz system of equations. Compared to the previous exploration with sinusoidal type transcendental nonlinearity, here we focus on only cross-product and higher-power type nonlinearities in the three state equations. We here report over 150 different structures of chaotic attractors along with their one set of parameter values, phase space dynamics and the Largest Lyapunov Exponents (LLE). The expressions of these new Lorenz-like nonlinear dynamical systems have been automatically evolved through multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP). In the past two decades, there have been many claims of designing new chaotic attractors as an incremental extension of the Lorenz family. We provide here a large family of chaotic systems whose structure closely resemble the original Lorenz system but with drastically different phase space dynamics. This advances the state of the art knowledge of discovering new chaotic systems which can find application in many real-world problems. This work may also find its archival value in future in the domain of new chaotic system discovery.     

A controller for the logistic equations

We demonstrate that the synchronization controller recently proposed for the logistic equations can be generalized. Using the generalized controller, chaotic systems can be synchronized to and with other linear or chaotic systems.

The control of chaotic systems with unknown parameters and external disturbance via backstepping‐like scheme

This article addresses the adaptive control of chaotic systems with unknown parameters, model uncertainties, and external disturbance. We first investigate the control of a class of chaotic systems and then discuss the control of general chaotic systems. Based on the backstepping‐like procedure, some novel criteria are proposed via adaptive control scheme. As an example to illustrate the application of the proposed method, the control and synchronization of the modified Chua's chaotic system is also investigated via a single input. Some numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed approach. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 573–583, 2016     

Generalized projective synchronization in time-delayed chaotic systems

We report on generalized projective synchronization between two identical time delay chaotic systems with single time delays. It overcomes some limitations of the previous work where generalized projective synchronization has been investigated only in finite-dimensional chaotic systems, so we can achieve generalized projective synchronization in infinite-dimensional chaotic systems. This method allows us to arbitrarily direct the scaling factor onto a desired value. Numerical simulations show that this method works very well.     

Sampled-data nonlinear observer design for chaos synchronization: A Lyapunov-based approach

This paper considers sampled-data based chaos synchronization using observers in the presence of measurement noise for a large class of chaotic systems. We study discretized model of chaotic systems which are perturbed by white noise and employ Lyapunov-like theorems to come up with a simple yet effective observer design. For the choice of observer gain, a suboptimal criterion is obtained in terms of LMI. We present semiglobal as well as global results. The proposed scheme can also be extended for discrete-time chaotic systems. Numerical simulations have been carried out to verify the effectiveness of theoretical results.     

An indirect synchronization of chaotic trajectories

The approach we present in this work examines the possibility of indirect synchronization between two identical chaotic systems by using a third one. We analyze the action of the mechanism when the chaotic systems are described by the maps and then we illustrate this, both analytically and numerically, in some particular cases.     

A Verified Optimization Technique to Locate Chaotic Regions of Hénon Systems

We present a new verified optimization method to find regions for Hénon systems where the conditions of chaotic behaviour hold. The present paper provides a methodology to verify chaos for certain mappings and regions. We discuss first how to check the set theoretical conditions of a respective theorem in a reliable way by computer programs. Then we introduce optimization problems that provide a model to locate chaotic regions. We prove the correctness of the underlying checking algorithms and the optimization model. We have verified an earlier published chaotic region, and we also give new chaotic places located by the new technique.     

Projective synchronization of different fractional-order chaotic systems with non-identical orders

This paper investigates the projective synchronization (PS) of different fractional order chaotic systems while the derivative orders of the states in drive and response systems are unequal. Based on some essential properties on fractional calculus and the stability theorems of fractional-order systems, we propose a general method to achieve the PS in such cases. The fractional operators are introduced into the controller to transform the problem into synchronization problem between chaotic systems with identical orders, and the nonlinear feedback controller is proposed based on the concept of active control technique. The method is both theoretically rigorous and practically feasible. We present two examples that illustrate the effectiveness and applications of the method, which include the PS between two 3-D commensurate fractional-order chaotic systems and the PS between two 4-D fractional-order hyperchaotic systems with incommensurate and commensurate orders, respectively. Abundant numerical simulations are given which agree well with the analytical results. Our investigations show that PS can also be achieved between different chaotic systems with non-identical orders. We have further reviewed and compared some relevant methods on this topic reported in several recent papers. A discussion on the physical implementation of the proposed method is also presented in this paper.     

A note on phase synchronization in coupled chaotic fractional order systems

The dynamic behaviors of fractional order systems have received increasing attention in recent years. This paper addresses the reliable phase synchronization problem between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. An active nonlinear feedback control scheme is constructed to achieve phase synchronization between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. We investigated the necessary conditions for fractional order Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems to exhibit chaotic attractor similar to their integer order counterpart. Then, based on the stability results of fractional order systems, sufficient conditions for phase synchronization of the fractional models of Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems are derived. The synchronization scheme that is simple and global enables synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems to be achieved without the computation of the conditional Lyapunov exponents. Numerical simulations are performed to assess the performance of the presented analysis.     

Anti-synchronization of four scroll attractor with fully unknown parameters

We have observed the anti-synchronization phenomena in coupled identical chaotic dynamical systems. Anti-synchronization can be characterized by the vanishing of the sum of relevant variables. Anti-synchronization problem of coupled identical chaotic dynamical systems with fully unknown parameters is analyzed. This technique is applied to achieve anti-synchronization of four-scroll atractor. Numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Adiabatic divergence of the chaotic layer width and acceleration of chaotic and noise-induced transport

We show that, in spatially periodic Hamiltonian systems driven by a time-periodic coordinate-independent (AC) force, the upper energy of the chaotic layer grows unlimitedly as the frequency of the force goes to zero. This remarkable effect is absent in any other physically significant systems. It gives rise to the divergence of the rate of the spatial chaotic transport. We also generalize this phenomenon for the presence of a weak noise and weak dissipation. We demonstrate for the latter case that the adiabatic AC force may greatly accelerate the spatial diffusion and the reset rate at a given threshold.     

Modified projective synchronization of chaotic systems with disturbances via active sliding mode control

We apply the active sliding mode control technique to realize the modified projective synchronization of the chaotic systems. The disturbances are considered both in the drive system and the response system. The sufficient conditions for the modified projective synchronization both the non-identical and identical chaotic systems are presented. The corresponding numerical simulations are provided to illuminate the effectiveness of the proposed active sliding mode controllers.     

Low-dimensional chaos in high-dimensional phase space: how does it occur?

A fundamental observation in nonlinear dynamics is that the asymptotic chaotic invariant sets in many high-dimensional systems are low-dimensional. We argue that such a behavior is typically associated with chaos synchronism. Numerical support using coupled chaotic systems including a class derived from a nonlinear partial differential equation is provided.     

Stability and chaos control of regularized Prabhakar fractional dynamical systems without and with delay

In this paper, we studied the stabilization of nonlinear regularized Prabhakar fractional dynamical systems without and with time delay. We establish a Lyapunov stabiliy theorem for these systems and study the asymptotic stability of these systems without design a positive definite function V (without considering the fractional derivative of function V is negative). We design a linear feedback controller to control and stabilize the nonautonomous and autonomous chaotic regularized Prabhakar fractional dynamical systems without and with time delay. By means of the Lyapunov stability, we obtain the control parameters for these type of systems. We further present a numerical method to solve and analyze regularized Prabhakar fractional systems. Furthermore, by employing numerical simulation, we reveal chaotic attractors and asymptotic stability behaviors for four systems to illustrate the presented theorem.
