A novel robust proportional-integral （PI） adaptive observer design for chaos synchronization

In this paper, chaos synchronization in the presence of parameter uncertainty, observer gain perturbation and exogenous input disturbance is considered. A nonlinear non-fragile proportional-integral (PI) adaptive observer is designed for the synchronization of chaotic systems; its stability conditions based on the Lyapunov technique are derived. The observer proportional and integral gains, by converting the conditions into linear matrix inequality (LMI), are optimally selected from solutions that satisfy the observer stability conditions such that the effect of disturbance on the synchronization error becomes minimized. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulation results for the synchronization of a Lorenz chaotic system with unknown parameters in the presence of an exogenous input disturbance and abrupt gain perturbation are reported.     

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.     

Synchronization of hyperchaotic Chen systems: a class of the adaptive control approach

The synchronization of hyperchaotic Chen systems is considered. An adaptive synchronization approach and a cascade adaptive synchronization approach are presented to synchronize a drive system and a response system. By utilizing an adaptive controller based on the dynamic compensation mechanism, exact knowledge of the systems is not necessarily required, and the synchronous speed is controllable by tuning the controller parameters. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the two synchronization schemes are derived. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the adaptive synchronization scheme with four control inputs and the cascade adaptive synchronization scheme with only one control signal are effective and feasible in chaos synchronization of hyperchaotic systems.     

Stability criterion for synchronization of chaotic systems using linear feedback control

This Letter introduces linear balanced feedback control scheme to design controller for the synchronization of two identical chaotic systems based on Lyapunov stability theory and constrained extreme approach. The technique is applied to synchronizing two identical four-scroll chaotic systems and guiding balanced feedback gains design. In accordance with the result of the analysis, an adaptive control scheme is proposed for chaos synchronization when the parametric variations of the response system are uncertain. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme are verified via numerical simulations.     

Synchronization of generalized Hénon map using polynomial controller

This Letter presents the chaos synchronization of two discrete-time generalized Hénon map, namely the drive and response systems. A polynomial controller is proposed to drive the system states of the response system to follow those of the drive system. The system stability of the error system formed by the drive and response systems and the synthesis of the polynomial controller are investigated using the sum-of-squares (SOS) technique. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, stability conditions in terms of SOS are derived to guarantee the system stability and facilitate the controller synthesis. By satisfying the SOS-based stability conditions, chaotic synchronization is achieved. The solution of the SOS-based stability conditions can be found numerically using the third-party Matlab toolbox SOSTOOLS. A simulation example is given to illustrate the merits of the proposed polynomial control approach.     

Master-slave synchronization criteria for horizontal platform systems using time delay feedback control

This paper is concerned with master-slave synchronization for two identical non-autonomous horizontal platform systems by using time-delay feedback control. Compared with some existing results on synchronization for horizontal platform systems, the effect of the time delay in the feedback control on master-slave synchronization is investigated. Applying a delay decomposition approach, some delay-dependent synchronization criteria are established and formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Sufficient conditions about the existence of a time delay feedback controller are derived by employing these newly obtained synchronization criteria. The controller gains can be achieved by solving a set of LMIs. One simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of synchronization criteria and the design method.

Fault tolerant synchronization of chaotic systems based on T-S fuzzy model with fuzzy sampled-data controller

In this paper the fault tolerant synchronization of two chaotic systems based on fuzzy model and sample data is investigated. The problem of fault tolerant synchronization is formulated to study the global asymptotical stability of the error system with the fuzzy sampled-data controller which contains a state feedback controller and a fault compensator. The synchronization can be achieved no matter whether the fault occurs or not. To investigate the stability of the error system and facilitate the design of the fuzzy sampled-data controller, a Takagi--Sugeno (T--S) fuzzy model is employed to represent the chaotic system dynamics. To acquire the good performance and produce less conservative analysis result, a new parameter-dependent Lyapunov--Krasovksii functional and a relaxed stabilization technique are considered. The stability conditions based on linear matrix inequality are obtained to achieve the fault tolerant synchronization of the chaotic systems. Finally, a numerical simulation is shown to verify the results.     

Pinning impulsive synchronization of stochastic delayed coupled networks

In this paper,the pinning synchronization problem of stochastic delayed complex network (SDCN) is investigated by using a novel hybrid pinning controller. The proposed hybrid pinning controller is composed of adaptive controller and impulsive controller,where the two controllers are both added to a fraction of nodes in the network. Using the Lyapunov stability theory and the novel hybrid pinning controller,some sufficient conditions are derived for the exponential synchronization of such dynamical networks in mean square. Two numerical simulation examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The simulation results show that the proposed control scheme has a fast convergence rate compared with the conventional adaptive pinning method.     

Linear matrix inequality approach for synchronization control of fuzzy cellular neural networks with mixed time delays

Fuzzy cellular neural networks (FCNNs) are special kinds of cellular neural networks (CNNs). Each cell in an FCNN contains fuzzy operating abilities. The entire network is governed by cellular computing laws. The design of FCNNs is based on fuzzy local rules. In this paper, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach for synchronization control of FCNNs with mixed delays is investigated. Mixed delays include discrete time-varying delays and unbounded distributed delays. A dynamic control scheme is proposed to achieve the synchronization between a drive network and a response network. By constructing the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional which contains a triple-integral term and the free-weighting matrices method an improved delay-dependent stability criterion is derived in terms of LMIs. The controller can be easily obtained by solving the derived LMIs. A numerical example and its simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Synchronization of chaotic systems with different orders

A controller is designed to realize the synchronization between chaotic systems with different orders. The structure of the controller, the error equations and the Lyapunov functions are determined based on stability theory. Hyperchaotic Chen system and Rossler system are taken for example to demonstrate the method to be effective and feasible. Simulation results show that all the state variables of Rossler system can be synchronized with those of hyperchaotic Chen system by using only one controller, and the error signals approach zero smoothly and quickly.     

Adaptive synchronization of Rossler and Chen chaotic systems

A novel adaptive synchronization method is proposed for two identical Rossler and Chen systems with uncertain parameters. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, we derive an adaptive controller without the knowledge of the system parameters, which can make the states of two identical Rossler and Chen systems globally asymptotically synchronized. Especially, when some unknown uncertain parameters are positive, we can make the controller more simple and, besides, the controller is independent of those positive uncertain parameters. All results are proved using a well-known Lyapunov stability theorem. Numerical simulations are given to validate the proposed synchronization approach.

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.     

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.

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.

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.
