Robust adaptive backstepping synchronization for a class of uncertain chaotic systems using fuzzy disturbance observer

This paper proposes a robust adaptive backstepping synchronization method for a class of uncertain chaotic systems. Unknown factors including system uncertainties and external disturbances are estimated by a fuzzy disturbance observer. By use of the fuzzy disturbance observer, any prior information about the unknown factors is not need. The proposed method using the estimated values guarantees the global synchronization for chaotic systems with mismatched uncertainties in the sense of uniform ultimate boundedness. Finally, numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.     

Parameter identification and adaptive impulsive synchronization of uncertain complex-variable chaotic systems

Synchronization of nonlinear dynamical systems with complex variables has attracted much more attention in various fields of science and engineering. In this paper, the problem of parameter identification and adaptive impulsive synchronization for a class of chaotic (hyperchaotic) complex nonlinear systems with uncertain parameters is investigated. Based on the theories of adaptive control and impulsive control, a synchronization scheme is designed to make a class of chaotic and hyperchaotic complex systems asymptotically synchronized, and uncertain parameters are identified simultaneously in the process of synchronization. Particularly, the proposed adaptive–impulsive control laws for synchronization are simple and can be readily applied in practical applications. The synchronization of two identical chaotic complex Chen systems and two identical hyperchaotic complex Lü systems are taken as two examples to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed controllers and identifiers.     

Disturbance-observer-based robust synchronization control of uncertain chaotic systems

In this paper, a robust synchronization control scheme is proposed for chaotic systems in the presence of system uncertainties and unknown external disturbances. For the synchronization error system, the compound disturbance which is estimated using the disturbance observer cannot be directly measured. If the gain matrix is properly chosen, the disturbance observer can approximate the unknown compound disturbance well. And then, the constrained robust synchronization control scheme is presented for uncertain chaotic systems based on the output of disturbance observer. In the design of a robust synchronization control scheme, the effect of unknown control input constraint has been explicitly considered to guarantee the synchronization performance. Numerical simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed constrained synchronization control scheme for uncertain chaotic systems.

Pragmatical adaptive synchronization of different orders chaotic systems with all uncertain parameters via nonlinear control

A new adaptive synchronization scheme by pragmatical asymptotically stability theorem is proposed in this paper. Based on this theorem and nonlinear control theory, a new adaptive synchronization scheme to design controllers can be obtained and especially the constraints for minimum values of feedback gain K in controllers can be derived. This new strategy shows that the constraint values of feedback gain K are related to the error of unknown and estimated parameters if the goal system is given. Through this new strategy, an appropriate feedback gain K can be always decided easily to obtain controllers achieving adaptive synchronization. Two identical Lorenz systems with different initial conditions and two completely different nonlinear systems with different orders, augmented R?ssler??s system and Mathieu?Cvan der Pol system, are used for illustrations to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the new adaptive scheme in numerical simulation results.

In this paper, impulsive synchronization of drive-response complex-variable chaotic systems is investigated. The drive-response systems with known parameters is considered via impulsive control and adaptive scheme as well as systems with unknown parameters. Noticeably, adaptive strategy is adopted to relax the restriction on the impulsive interval, and the system parameters need not to be known beforehand. According to the Lyapunov stability theory, some synchronization criteria are derived and verified by several numerical simulations.     

Robust adaptive synchronization for a class of chaotic systems with actuator failures and nonlinear uncertainty

This paper is concerned with the robust adaptive synchronization problem for a class of chaotic systems with actuator failures and unknown nonlinear uncertainty. Combining adaptive method and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, a novel type of robust adaptive reliable synchronization controller is proposed, which can eliminate the effect of actuator fault and nonlinear uncertainty on systems. After solving a set of LMIs, synchronization error between the master chaotic and slave chaotic systems can converge asymptotically to zero. Finally, illustrate examples about chaotic Chua’s circuit system and Lorenz systems are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed design method.     

Robust adaptive intelligent sliding model control for a class of uncertain chaotic systems with unknown time-delay

In this paper, a robust adaptive intelligent sliding model control (RAISMC) scheme for a class of uncertain chaotic systems with unknown time-delay is proposed. A sliding surface dynamic is appropriately constructed to guarantee the reachability of the specified sliding surface. Within this scheme, neuro-fuzzy network (NFN) is utilized to approximate the unknown continuous function. The robust controller is an adaptive controller used to dispel the unknown uncertainty and approximation errors. The adaptive parameters of the control system are tuned on-line by the derived adaptive laws based on a Lyapunov stability analysis. Using appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii (L–K) functional in the Lyapunov function candidate, the uncertainty caused by unknown time delay is compensated and the global asymptotic stability of the error dynamics system in the specified switching surface is accomplished. Finally, the proposed RAISMC system is applied to control a Hopfield neural network, Cellular neural networks, Rössler system, and to achieve synchronization between the Chen system with two time delays with Rössler system without time delay. The results are representative of outperformance of the proposed method in all cases.     

Adaptive generalized function projective synchronization of uncertain chaotic complex systems

The complex nonlinear systems appear in many important fields of physics and engineering, which are very useful for cryptography and secure communication. This paper investigates adaptive generalized function projective synchronization (AGFPS) between two different dimensional chaotic complex systems with fully or partially unknown parameters via both reduced order and increased order. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem and adaptive control technique, a general adaptive controller with corresponding parameter update rule is constructed to achieve AGFPS between two nonidentical chaotic complex systems with distinct orders, and identify the unknown parameters simultaneously. This scheme is then applied to obtain AGFPS between the hyperchaotic complex Lü system and the chaotic complex Lorenz system with fully unknown parameters, and between the uncertain chaotic complex Chen system and the uncertain hyperchaotic complex Lorenz system, respectively. Corresponding simulations results are performed to show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed synchronization method.     

Complete synchronization of chaotic complex nonlinear systems with uncertain parameters

Our main objective in this work is to investigate complete synchronization (CS) of n-dimensional chaotic complex systems with uncertain parameters. An adaptive control scheme is designed to study the synchronization of chaotic attractors of these systems. We applied this scheme, as an example, to study complete synchronization of chaotic attractors of two identical complex Lorenz systems. The adaptive control functions and the parameters estimation laws are calculated analytically based on the complex Lyapunov function. We show that the error dynamical systems are globally stable. Numerical simulations are computed to check the analytical expressions of adaptive controllers.     

Robust synchronization of uncertain fractional-order chaotic systems with time-varying delay

This paper presents a new technique using a recurrent non-singleton type-2 sequential fuzzy neural network (RNT2SFNN) for synchronization of the fractional-order chaotic systems with time-varying delay and uncertain dynamics. The consequent parameters of the proposed RNT2SFNN are learned based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability analysis. The proposed control method is used to synchronize two non-identical and identical fractional-order chaotic systems, with time-varying delay. Also, to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control method, in the other practical applications, the proposed controller is applied to synchronize the master–slave bilateral teleoperation problem with time-varying delay. Simulation results show that the proposed control scenario results in good performance in the presence of external disturbance, unknown functions in the dynamics of the system and also time-varying delay in the control signal and the dynamics of system. Finally, the effectiveness of proposed RNT2SFNN is verified by a nonlinear identification problem and its performance is compared with other well-known neural networks.     

Adaptive robust fuzzy control for a class of uncertain chaotic systems

In this paper, the output feedback control of uncertain chaotic systems is addressed via an adaptive robust fuzzy approach. Fuzzy logic systems are employed to approximate uncertain nonlinear functions in the chaotic systems. Because only partial information of the system’s states is needed to be known, an observer is given to estimate the unmeasured states. Compared with the existing results in the observer design, the prior knowledge on dynamic uncertainties is relaxed and a class of more general chaotic systems is considered as well as robustness to the approximation error is improved. It can be proven that the closed-loop system is stable in the sense that all the variables are bounded. Simulation example for the unified chaotic systems is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Global finite-time synchronization of a class of the non-autonomous chaotic systems

This paper investigates the global finite-time synchronization of a class of the second-order nonautonomous chaotic systems via a master?Cslave coupling. A?continuous generalized linear state-error feedback controller with simple structure is introduced into the synchronization scheme. Some easily implemented algebraic criteria for achieving the global finite-time synchronization are proven and then optimized for the purposes of improving their sharpness. The optimized criteria are applied to a practical master?Cslave synchronization scheme for the single-machine-infinite-bus (SMIB) systems, obtaining the precise corresponding synchronization conditions. Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the new synchronization criteria.

A general nonlinear adaptive control scheme for finite-time synchronization of chaotic systems with uncertain parameters and nonlinear inputs

In this paper, the problem of finite-time chaos synchronization between two different uncertain chaotic systems with unknown parameters and input nonlinearities is investigated. It is assumed that both master and slave systems are perturbed by unknown model uncertainties, external disturbances, and fully unknown parameters. Proper update laws are proposed to estimate the systems?? unknown parameters. Based on the update laws and finite-time control technique, a robust adaptive controller is introduced to guarantee the convergence of the slave system trajectories to the trajectories of the master system in a given finite time. Two illustrative examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed finite-time controller and to validate the theoretical results of the paper.
