Synchronization of chaotic systems with parameter driven by a chaotic signal

Chaos control with driving parameter scheme in uncoupled identical chaotic oscillators is presented. By driving the parameter of chaotic systems using external chaotic signal, synchronization and anti-synchronization can be implemented. Numerical simulations show that either synchronization or anti-synchronization can appear depending significantly on initial condition and on driving strength. The proposed method is particularly suited for a variety of chaotic systems, which cannot couple with each other in engineering.     

Synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic oscillators under input saturation

This paper addresses the design of simple state feedback controllers for synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic oscillators under input saturation and disturbance. By employing sector condition, linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based sufficient conditions are derived to design (global or local) controllers for chaos synchronization. The proposed local synchronization strategy guarantees a region of stability in terms of difference between states of the master–slave systems. This region of stability can be enlarged by means of an LMI-based optimization algorithm, through which asymptotic synchronization of chaotic oscillators can be ensured for a large difference in their initial conditions. Further, a novel LMI-based robust control strategy is developed, for local synchronization of input-constrained chaotic oscillators, by providing an upper bound on synchronization error in terms of disturbance and initial conditions of chaotic systems. Moreover, the proposed robust state feedback control methodology is modified to provide an inaugural treatment for robust anti-synchronization of chaotic systems under input saturation and disturbance. The results of the proposed methodologies are verified through numerical simulations for synchronization and anti-synchronization of the master–slave chaotic Chua’s circuits under input saturation.     

A special full-state hybrid projective synchronization in symmetrical chaotic systems

A special full-state hybrid projective synchronization type is proposed in this paper. The anti-synchronization and complete synchronization can be achieved simultaneously in this new synchronization phenomenon. We point out how to realize this synchronization in chaotic systems: anti-synchronization in symmetrical coordinate subspace and complete synchronization in its normal coordinate subspace. Two illustrative examples, multi-scroll chaotic system by the partial Lyapunov stability theory, and a four-dimensional chaotic system by the invariance principle of differential equation are presented to exhibit this new synchronization.     

Synchronization and anti-synchronization of new uncertain fractional-order modified unified chaotic systems via novel active pinning control

This paper discusses the synchronization and anti-synchronization of new uncertain fractional-order unified chaotic systems (UFOUCS). Based on the idea of active control, a novel active pinning control strategy is presented, which only needs a state of new UFOUCS. The proposed controller can achieve synchronization between a response system and a drive system, and ensure the synchronized robust stability of new UFOUCS. Numerical simulations of new UFOUCS show that the controller can make fractional-order unified chaotic systems (FOUCS) achieve synchronization or anti-synchronization in a quite short period and both are of good robust stability.     

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.     

Multi-stable chaotic attractors in generalized synchronization

In this work, for given driving and response systems, the phenomenon of multi-stable chaotic attractors existing in generalized synchronization is studied. Consider the driving system descried by a Rössler system, and the response system being a multi-scroll chaotic system, some numerical simulations are proposed. The results show that by choosing suitable coupled parameters, there are multi-stable chaotic attractors in the response system, and each of them synchronizes with the driving system. Moreover, the basins of attraction on the parameter plane and initial condition plane are analyzed.     

Adaptive added-order anti-synchronization of chaotic systems with fully unknown parameters

This work investigates the chaos anti-synchronization between two different dimensional chaotic systems with fully unknown parameters via added-order. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, the adaptive controllers with corresponding parameter update laws are designed such that the two different chaotic systems with different dimensions can be synchronized asymptotically. Finally, two illustrative numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Synchronization and anti-synchronization coexist in Chen–Lee chaotic systems

This study demonstrates that synchronization and anti-synchronization can coexist in Chen–Lee chaotic systems by direct linear coupling. Based on Lyapunov’s direct method, a linear controller was designed to assure that two different types of synchronization can simultaneously be achieved. Further, the hybrid projective synchronization of Chen–Lee chaotic systems was studied using a nonlinear control scheme. The nonlinear controller was designed according to the Lyapunov stability theory to guarantee the hybrid projective synchronization, including synchronization, anti-synchronization, and projective synchronization. Finally, numerical examples are presented in order to illustrate the proposed synchronization approach.     

Full state hybrid projective synchronization in continuous-time chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems

Chaos synchronization, as an important topic, has become an active research subject in nonlinear science. Over the past two decades, chaos synchronization between nonlinear systems has been extensively studied, and many types of synchronization have been announced. This paper introduces another novel type of chaos synchronization – full state hybrid projective synchronization (FSHPS), which includes complete synchronization, anti-synchronization and projective synchronization as its special item. Based on the Lyapunov’s direct method, the general FSHPS scheme is given and illustrated with Lorenz chaotic system and hyperchaotic Chen system as examples. Numerical simulations are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

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.     

Weak synchronization of chaotic neural networks with parameter mismatch via periodically intermittent control

This paper deals with the synchronization of two coupled identical chaotic systems with parameter mismatch via using periodically intermittent control. In general, parameter mismatches are considered to have a detrimental effect on the synchronization quality between coupled identical systems: in the case of small parameter mismatches the synchronization error does not decay to zero or even a nonzero mean. Larger values of parameter mismatches can even result in the loss of synchronization. via intermittent control with periodically intervals, we can obtain the weak synchronization. Some sufficient conditions for the stabilization and weak synchronization of a large class of coupled identical chaotic systems will be derived by using Lyapunov stability theory. The analytical results are confirmed by numerical simulations.     

Synchronization and anti-synchronization of Lu and Bhalekar–Gejji chaotic systems using nonlinear active control

This paper aims at synchronization and anti-synchronization between Lu chaotic system, a member of unified chaotic system, and recently developed Bhalekar–Gejji chaotic system, a system which cannot be derived from the member of unified chaotic system. These synchronization and anti-synchronization have been achieved by using nonlinear active control since the parameters of both the systems are known. Lyapunov stability theory is used and required condition is derived to ensure the stability of error dynamics. Controller is designed by using the sum of relevant variables in chaotic systems. Simulation results suggest that proposed scheme is working satisfactorily.     

Complete synchronization,phase synchronization and parameters estimation in a realistic chaotic system

The two-parameter phase space in certain nonlinear system is investigated and the chaotic region of parameters are measured to show its chaotic properties. Within the chaotic parameter region, the complete synchronization, phase synchronization and parameters estimation are discussed in detail by using adaptive synchronization scheme and Lyapunov stability theory. Two changeable gain coefficients are introduced into the controllable positive Lyapunov function and thus the parameter observers. It is found that complete synchronization or phase synchronization occurs with different controllers being used though the parameter observers are the same. Phase synchronization is observed when zero eigenvalue of Jacobi matrix, which is composed of the errors of corresponding variables in the drive and driven chaotic systems. The optimized selection of controllers can induce transition of phase synchronization and complete synchronization.     

Adaptive anti-synchronization of chaotic complex nonlinear systems with unknown parameters

This paper presents the adaptive anti-synchronization of a class of chaotic complex nonlinear systems described by a united mathematical expression with fully uncertain parameters. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive control scheme and adaptive laws of parameters are developed to anti-synchronize two chaotic complex systems. The anti-synchronization of two identical complex Lorenz systems and two different complex Chen and Lü systems are taken as two examples to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the presented scheme.     

Anti-synchronization of uncertain unified chaotic systems with dead-zone nonlinearity

This paper addresses chaos anti-synchronization of uncertain unified chaotic systems with dead-zone input nonlinearity. Using the sliding mode control technique and Lyapunov stability theory, a proportional–integral (PI) switching surface is proposed to ensure the stability of the closed-loop error system in sliding mode. Then a sliding mode controller (SMC) is proposed to guarantee the hitting of the switching surface even with uncertainties and the control input containing dead-zone nonlinearity. Some simulation results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed synchronization scheme.     

Adaptive generalized function projective synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems

This paper mainly investigates adaptive generalized function projective synchronization of two different uncertain chaotic systems, which is a further extension of many existing projection synchronization schemes, such as modified projection synchronization, function projective synchronization and so on. On the basis of Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive controller for the synchronization of two different chaotic systems is designed, and some parameter update laws for estimating the unknown parameters of the systems are also gained. This technique is applied to achieve synchronization between Lorenz and Rössler chaotic systems. The numerical simulations demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.

The paper studies the effect of parameter mismatch on lag synchronization of chaotic systems. It shall be shown that lag synchronization of coupled systems may weakly achieve, when parameter mismatch is small. The error bound of lag synchronization arising from the parameter mismatch is also estimated by rigorously theoretical analysis. Numerical simulations on Chua oscillator are presented to verify the theoretical results.

A general scheme for Q-S synchronization of chaotic systems with unknown parameters and scaling functions

This work investigates Q-S synchronization of non-identical chaotic systems with unknown parameters and scaling function. The sufficient conditions for achieving Q-S synchronization with a double-desired scaling function of two different chaotic systems (including different dimensional systems) are derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory. By the adaptive control technique, the corresponding parameter update laws are proposed such that the Q-S synchronization of non-identical chaotic systems is to be obtained. Two illustrative numerical simulations are also given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Projective synchronization of time‒delayed chaotic systems with unknown parameters using adaptive control method

The present article aims to study the projective synchronization between two identical and non?identical time?delayed chaotic systems with fully unknown parameters. Here the asymptotical and global synchronization are achieved by means of adaptive control approach based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional theory. The proposed technique is successfully applied to investigate the projective synchronization for the pairs of time?delayed chaotic systems amongst advanced Lorenz system as drive system with multiple delay Rössler system and time?delayed Chua's oscillator as response system. An adaptive controller and parameter update laws for unknown parameters are designed so that the drive system is controlled to be the response system. Numerical simulation results, depicted graphically, are carried out using Runge–Kutta Method for delay?differential equations, showing that the design of controller and the adaptive parameter laws are very effective and reliable and can be applied for synchronization of time?delayed chaotic systems.
