Adaptive impulsive synchronization for a class of fractional-order chaotic and hyperchaotic systems

In this paper, the adaptive impulsive synchronization for a class of fractional-order chaotic and hyperchaotic systems with unknown Lipschitz constant is investigated. Firstly, based on the adaptive control theory and the impulsive differential equations theory, the impulsive controller, the adaptive controller and the parametric update law are designed, respectively. Secondly, by constructing the suitable response system, the original fractional-order error system can be converted into the integral-order one. Finally, the new sufficient criterion is derived to guarantee the asymptotical stability of synchronization error system by the Lyapunov stability theory and the generalized Barbalat's lemma. In addition, numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed adaptive impulsive control method.

Furthermore, an estimation of the predicted stable region is derived to facilitate the design of the control gain. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our results.

Robust impulsive synchronization of complex delayed dynamical networks

This Letter investigates robust impulsive synchronization of complex delayed dynamical networks with nonsymmetrical coupling from the view of dynamics and control. Based on impulsive control theory on delayed dynamical systems, some simple yet generic criteria for robust impulsive synchronization are established. It is shown that these criteria can provide a novel and effective control approach to synchronize an arbitrary given delayed dynamical network to a desired synchronization state. Comparing with existing results, the advantage of the control scheme is that synchronization state can be selected as a weighted average of all the states in the network for the purpose of practical control strategy. Finally, numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methodology.

Structure identification of an uncertain network coupled with complex-variable chaotic systems via adaptive impulsive control

In this paper, structure identification of an uncertain network coupled with complex-variable chaotic systems is in- vestigated. Both the topological structure and the system parameters can be unknown and need to be identified. Based on impulsive stability theory and the Lyapunov function method, an impulsive control scheme combined with an adaptive strategy is adopted to design effective and universal network estimators. The restriction on the impulsive interval is relaxed by adopting an adaptive strategy. Further, the proposed method can monitor the online switching topology effectively.

To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results, two numerical examples are given.     

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.

Based on the semigroup theory and fixed point approach, sufficient conditions for approximate controllability of impulsive differential and neutral functional differential equations are established. Finally, two examples are presented to illustrate the utility of the proposed result. The results improve some recent results.     

Cooperative impulsive formation control for networked uncertain Euler–Lagrange systems with communication delays

This paper investigates the cooperative formation problem via impulsive control for a class of networked Euler–Lagrange systems. To reduce the energy consumption and communication frequency, the impulsive control method and cooperative formation control approach are combined. With the consideration of system uncertainties and communication delays among agents, neural networks-based adaptive technique is used for the controller design. Firstly, under the constraint that each agent interacts with its neighbors only at some sampling moments, an adaptive neural-networks impulsive formation control algorithm is proposed for the networked uncertain Euler–Lagrange systems without communication delays. Using Lyapunov stability theory and Laplacian potential function in the graph theory, we conclude that the formation can be achieved by properly choosing the constant control gains. Further, when considering communication delays,a modified impulsive formation control algorithm is proposed, in which the extended Halanay differential inequality is used to analyze the stability of the impulsive delayed dynamical systems. Finally, numerical examples and performance comparisons with continuous algorithm are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Lag synchronization of chaotic systems with time-delayed linear terms via impulsive control

In this paper, the lag synchronization of chaotic systems with time-delayed linear terms via impulsive control is investigated. Based on the stability theory of impulsive delayed differential equations, some sufficient conditions are obtained guaranteeing the synchronized behaviours between two delayed chaotic systems. Numerical simulations on time-delayed Lorenz and hyperchaotic Chen systems are also carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Note that under the scheme the chaotic system is controlled only at discrete time instants, and so it reduces the control cost in real applications.

By constructing a suitable response system, an integral order synchronization error system is obtained. Based on the theory of Lyapunov stability and the impulsive differential equations, some effective sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the asymptotical stability of the synchronization error system. In particular, some simpler and more convenient conditions are derived by taking the fixed impulsive distances and control gains. Compared with the existing results, the main results in this paper are practical and rigorous. Simulation results show the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed impulsive control method.     

Synchronization in complex delayed dynamical networks with impulsive effects

The present paper is mainly concerned with the issues of synchronization dynamics of complex delayed dynamical networks with impulsive effects. A general model of complex delayed dynamical networks with impulsive effects is formulated, which can well describe practical architectures of more realistic complex networks related to impulsive effects. Based on impulsive stability theory on delayed dynamical systems, some simple but less conservative criterion are derived for global synchronization of such dynamical network. It is shown that synchronization of the networks is heavily dependent on impulsive effects of connecting configuration in the networks. Furthermore, the theoretical results are applied to a typical SF network composing of impulsive coupled chaotic delayed Hopfield neural network nodes, and are also illustrated by numerical simulations.
