Adaptive synchronization of chaotic systems with unknown bounded uncertainties via backstepping approach

Backstepping design is proposed for adaptive synchronization of a class of chaotic systems with unknown bounded uncertainties. An adaptive backstepping control law is derived to make the error signals between the master and slave systems asymptotically synchronized without knowing the upper-bounds of the uncertainties in advance. The stability analysis is proved by using a well-known Lyapunov stability. Two illustrative examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive chaos synchronization.     

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.

Robust adaptive full state hybrid synchronization of chaotic complex systems with unknown parameters and external disturbances

This paper studies the robust adaptive full state hybrid projective synchronization (FSHPS) scheme for a class of chaotic complex systems with uncertain parameters and external disturbances. By introducing a compensator and using nonlinear control and adaptive control, the robust adaptive FSHPS scheme is derived, which can eliminate the influence of uncertainties effectively and achieve adaptive FSHPS of the chaotic (hyperchaotic) complex systems asymptotically with a small error bound. The adaptive laws of the unknown parameters are given, and the sufficient conditions of realizing FSHPS are derived as well. Moreover, we also discuss the case that parameters of chaotic complex system are complex. Finally, the complex Chen system and Lü system, and the hyperchaotic complex Lorenz system are taken as two examples and the numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control scheme.

Adaptive nonsingular terminal sliding mode control for synchronization of identical Φ 6 oscillators

The main goal of this paper is to propose the adaptive nonsingular terminal sliding mode controllers for complete synchronization (CS) and anti-synchronization (AS) between two identical ?? ⁶ Van der Pol or Duffing oscillators with presentations of system uncertainties and external disturbances. Unlike directly eliminating the nonlinear items of synchronized error system for sliding mode control schemes in the literature, the proposed adaptive controllers can tackle the nonlinear dynamics without active cancellation. The controllers can be implemented without known bounds of system uncertainties and external disturbances. Meanwhile, the feedback gains are not determined in advance but updated by the adaptive rules. Sufficient conditions are given based on the Lyapunov stability theorem and numerical simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of presented schemes. The results show that the chaotic synchronization can be achieved accurately by the chattering free control.

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.     

Analog circuit design and optimal synchronization of a modified Rayleigh system

This paper addresses the problem of optimization of the synchronization of a chaotic modified Rayleigh system. We first introduce a four-dimensional autonomous chaotic system which is obtained by the modification of a two-dimensional Rayleigh system. Some basic dynamical properties and behaviors of this system are investigated. An appropriate electronic circuit (analog simulator) is proposed for the investigation of the dynamical behavior of the proposed system. Correspondences are established between the coefficients of the system model and the components of the electronic circuit. Furthermore, we propose an optimal robust adaptive feedback which accomplishes the synchronization of two modified Rayleigh systems using the controllability functions method. The advantage of the proposed scheme is that it takes into account the energy wasted by feedback coupling and the closed loop performance on synchronization. Also, a finite horizon is explicitly computed such that the chaos synchronization is achieved at an established time. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization strategy. Pspice analog circuit implementation of the complete master–slave controller system is also presented to show the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

The present controller is simple in comparison with previous methods. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method is effective.     

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.     

Robust synchronization of a chaotic mechanical system with nonlinearities in control inputs

Centrifugal flywheel governors are known as chaotic non-autonomous mechanical devices used for automatic control of the speed of engines. The main characteristic of them is avoiding the damage caused by sudden change of the load torques. In this paper, the problem of robust finite-time synchronization of centrifugal flywheel governor systems is studied. The effects of unknown parameters, model uncertainties, external noises, and input nonlinearities are fully taken into account. We propose some adaptive laws to overcome the side effects of the unknown parameters of the system on the synchronization performance. Then, a robust adaptive switching controller is introduced to synchronize centrifugal flywheel governors with nonlinear control inputs in a given finite time. The finite-time fast convergence property of the proposed scheme is analytically proved and numerically illustrated.

Finally, numerical simulations are performed to verify the proposed results.     

Combination–combination synchronization among four identical or different chaotic systems

Based on one drive system and one response system synchronization model, a new type of combination–combination synchronization is proposed for four identical or different chaotic systems. According to the Lyapunov stability theorem and adaptive control, numerical simulations for four identical or different chaotic systems with different initial conditions are discussed to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Synchronization about combination of two drive systems and combination of two response systems is the main contribution of this paper, which can be extended to three or more chaotic systems. A universal combination of drive systems and response systems model and a universal adaptive controller may be designed to our intelligent application by our synchronization design.     

Secure communication in wireless sensor networks based on chaos synchronization using adaptive sliding mode control

Due to resource constraints in wireless sensor networks and the presence of unwanted conditions in communication systems and transmission channels, the suggestion of a robust method which provides battery lifetime increment and relative security is of vital importance. This paper considers the secure communication in wireless sensor networks based on new robust adaptive finite time chaos synchronization approach in the presence of noise and uncertainty. For this purpose, the modified Chua oscillators are added to the base station and sensor nodes to generate the chaotic signals. Chaotic signals are impregnated with the noise and uncertainty. At first, we apply the modified independent component analysis to separate the noise from the chaotic signals. Then, using the adaptive finite-time sliding mode controller, a control law and an adaptive parameter-tuning method is proposed to achieve the finite-time chaos synchronization under the noisy conditions and parametric uncertainties. Synchronization between the base station and each of the sensor nodes is realized by multiplying a selection matrix by the specified chaotic signal which is broadcasted by the base station to the sensor nodes. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed technique.     

Observer-based synchronization scheme for a class of chaotic systems using contraction theory

In this paper, an adaptive synchronization scheme is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems. The design utilizes an adaptive observer, which is quite useful in establishing a transmitter–receiver kind of synchronization scheme. The proposed approach is based on contraction theory and provides a very simple way of establishing exponential convergence of observer states to actual system states. The class of systems addressed here has uncertain parameters, associated with the part of system dynamics that is a function of measurable output only. The explicit conditions for the stability of the observer are derived in terms of gain selection of the observer. Initially, the case without uncertainty is considered and then the results are extended to the case with uncertainty in parameters of the system. An application of the proposed approach is presented to synchronize the family of N chaotic systems which are coupled through the output variable only. The numerical results are presented for designing an adaptive observer for the chaotic Chua system to verify the efficacy of the proposed approach. Explicit bounds on observer gains are derived by exploiting the properties of the chaotic attractor exhibited by Chua’s system. Convergence of uncertain parameters is also analyzed for this case and numerical simulations depict the convergence of parameter estimates to their true value.

In this paper, we apply the nonsingular terminal sliding mode control technique to realize the novel combination-combination synchronization between combination of two chaotic systems as drive system and combination of two chaotic systems as response system with unknown parameters in a finite time. On the basic of the adaptive laws and finite-time stability theory, an adaptive combination sliding mode controller is proposed to ensure the occurrence of the sliding motion in a given finite time for four different chaotic systems. In theory, it is proved that the sliding mode technique can realize fast convergence for four different chaotic systems in the finite time. Some criteria and corollaries are derived for finite-time combination-combination synchronization of four different chaotic systems. Numerical simulation results are shown to verify the effectiveness and correctness of the combination-combination synchronization.     

Design of fractional robust adaptive intelligent controller for uncertain fractional-order chaotic systems based on active control technique

In this paper, a robust fractional-order adaptive intelligent controller is proposed for stabilization of uncertain fractional-order chaotic systems. The intelligent neuro-fuzzy network is used to estimate unknown dynamics of system, while the neuro-fuzzy network parameters as well as the upper bounds of the model uncertainties, disturbances and approximation errors are adaptively estimated via separate adaptive rules. An SMC scheme, with a fractional-order sliding surface, is employed, as the controller to improve the velocity and performance of the proposed control system and to eliminate the unknown but bounded uncertainties, external disturbances and approximation errors. The Lyapunov stability theorem has been also employed to show the stability of the closed-loop system, robustness against uncertainties, external disturbances and approximation errors, while the control signal remains bounded. Explanatory examples and simulation results are given to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed procedure, which consent well with the analytical results.

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.     

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.

Additionally, the robustness and noise immunity of the adaptive synchronization scheme is investigated by measuring the mean squared error of the systems.
