Global finite-time synchronization of different dimensional chaotic systems

This paper addresses the problem of global finite-time synchronization of two different dimensional chaotic systems. Firstly, the definition of global finite-time synchronization of different dimensional chaotic systems are introduced. Based on the finite-time stability methods, the controller is designed such that the chaotic systems are globally synchronized in a finite time. Then, some uncertain parameters are adopted in the chaotic systems, new control law and dynamical parameter estimation are proposed to guarantee that the global finite-time synchronization can be obtained. By considering a dynamical parameter designed in the controller, the adaptive updated controller is also designed to achieve the desired results. At last, the results of two different dimensional chaotic systems are also extended to two different dimensional networked chaotic systems. Finally, three numerical examples are given to verify the validity of the proposed methods.     

Chaos synchronization between two different chaotic dynamical systems

This work presents chaos synchronization between two different chaotic systems by nonlinear control laws. First, synchronization problem between Genesio system and Rossler system has been investigated, and then the similar approach is applied to the synchronization problem between Genesio system and a new chaotic system developed recently in the literature. The control performances are verified by two numerical examples.     

Adaptive synchronization between two different chaotic dynamical systems

This work presents the synchronization between two different chaotic systems by using an adaptive feedback control scheme. The adaptive synchronization problem between an electrostatic system and electromechanical transducer has been investigated. An adaptive linear feedback law with two controllers is proposed to ensure the global chaos synchronization of the nonlinear electrostatic and electromechanical systems. Numerical simulations results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

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.     

On analytical justification of phase synchronization in different chaotic systems

In analytical or numerical synchronizations studies of coupled chaotic systems the phase synchronizations have less considered in the leading literatures. This article is an attempt to find a sufficient analytical condition for stability of phase synchronization in some coupled chaotic systems. The method of nonlinear feedback function and the scheme of matrix measure have been used to justify this analytical stability, and tested numerically for the existence of the phase synchronization in some coupled chaotic systems.     

Chaos synchronization between two different chaotic systems using active control

This work presents chaos synchronization between two different chaotic systems by using active control. This technique is applied to achieve chaos synchronization for each pair of the dynamical systems Lorenz, Lü and Chen. Numerical simulations are shown to verify the results.     

Switching among three different kinds of synchronization for delay chaotic systems

We found that the complete synchronization, anticipating synchronization and lag synchronization can be reached by the same kind of one way coupling for a large class of chaotic delay system. By changing the transformation time of the coupling signal we can switch from anticipating synchronization to complete synchronization, and then to lag synchronization. Numerical simulation for three chaotic delay systems were presented, one of them was novel which had two degree of freedoms, and the other two were the well known Ikeda and Mackey–Glass system which are one degree of freedom chaotic delay system. The theoretical analysis and the numerical simulation agreed perfect good.     

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 synchronization between two different chaotic systems via nonlinear feedback control

This work presents chaos synchronization between two different chaotic systems via nonlinear feedback control. On the basis of a converse Lyapunov theorem and balanced gain scheme, control gains of controller are derived to achieve chaos synchronization for the unified chaotic systems. Numerical simulations are shown to verify the results.     

Projective lag synchronization in chaotic systems

In this paper, a new projective lag synchronization is proposed, where a driven chaotic system synchronizes the past state of the driver up to a scaling factor α. An active control method is employed to design a controller to achieve the global synchronization of two identical chaotic systems. Based on Lyapunov stability theorem, a sufficient condition is then given for the asymptotical stability of the null solution of an error dynamics. The effectiveness of the proposed schemes is verified via numerical simulations.     

Adaptive modified function projective synchronization of unknown chaotic systems with different order

This paper investigates the modified function projective synchronization (MFPS) between two different dimensional chaotic systems with fully unknown or partially unknown parameters via increased order. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem and adaptive control method, a unified adaptive controller and parameters update law can be designed for achieving the MFPS of the two different chaotic systems with different orders. Numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme.     

The generalized synchronization of a Quantum-CNN chaotic oscillator with different order systems

This paper presents a special kind of the generalized synchronization of different order systems, proved by Lyapunov asymptotical stability theorem. A sufficient condition is given for the asymptotical stability of the null solution of an error dynamics. The generalized synchronization developed may be applied to the design of secure communication. Finally, numerical results are studied for a Quantum-CNN oscillator synchronized with three different order systems respectively to show the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization strategy.     

Robust adaptive synchronization of different uncertain chaotic systems subject to input nonlinearity

In this paper, an adaptive controller is designed to ensure robust synchronization of two different chaotic systems with input nonlinearities. For this purpose, a stable sliding surface is defined and an adaptive sliding mode controller is designed to achieve robust synchronization of the systems when the control input is influenced through nonlinearities produced by actuator or external uncertainty recourses. The adaptation law guarantees the synchronization assuming of unknown model uncertainty. Furthermore by adding an integrator and incorporating a saturation function in the control law, the chattering phenomenon caused by the sign function is avoided. The simulation results for synchronization of Chua’s circuit and Genesio systems show the efficiency of the proposed technique.     

Quadratic optimal synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems

This paper investigates the quadratic optimal synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems with parameter mismatch, parametric perturbations and external disturbances on both master and slave systems. A robust control scheme based on Lyapunov stability theory and quadratic optimal control approach is derived to realize chaotic synchronization. The sufficient criterion for stability condition is formulated in a linear matrix inequality (LMI) form. The effect of uncertain parameters and external disturbance is suppressed to an H_∞ norm constraint. An adaptive algorithm is proposed to adjust the uncertain bound in the robust controller avoiding the chattering phenomena. The simulation results for synchronization of the Chua’s circuit system and the Lorenz system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Fast synchronization of directionally coupled chaotic systems

This paper studies the fast synchronization of directionally coupled chaotic systems under a chained interaction topology. Firstly, by applying finite-time stability theory, it is shown that all chaotic systems can achieve synchronization in finite time as long as the coupling strength is strong enough. Secondly, it is proved that the settling times are determined by the interaction strength, system parameters and initial conditions of the chaotic systems. Furthermore, it is found that the settling times are mainly dependent on the bounded value and dimension of the coupled chaotic systems when the individual chaotic sub-system is bounded. Finally, illustrative examples and numerical simulations are given to show the correctness of theoretical results.     

Linear generalized synchronization of continuous-time chaotic systems

This paper develops a general approach for constructing a response system to implement linear generalized synchronization (GS) with the drive continuous-time chaotic system. Some sufficient conditions of global asymptotic linear GS between the drive and response continuous-time chaotic systems are attained from rigorously modern control theory. Finally, we take Chua’s circuit as an example for illustration and verification.     

Dual synchronization based on two different chaotic systems: Lorenz systems and Rössler systems

In this paper, we improve and extend the works of Liu and Davids [Dual synchronization of chaos, Phys. Rev. E 61 (2000) 2176–2179] which only introduce the dual synchronization of 1-D discrete chaotic systems. The dual synchronization of two different 3-D continuous chaotic systems, Lorenz systems and Rössler systems, is discussed. And a sufficient condition of dual synchronization about the two different chaotic systems is obtained. Theories and numerical simulations show the possibility of dual synchronization and the effectiveness of the method.     

On the synchronization of different chaotic oscillators

The synchronization of two different chaotic oscillators is studied, based on an open-loop control – the entrainment control. We consider two types of synchronization: complete synchronization and effectively complete synchronization. The sufficient conditions that two different systems can be synchronized by this method is discussed. Furthermore, a hierarchical idea to synchronize multiple chaotic subsystems is proposed.     

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.
