Adaptive synchronization of dynamical networks via states of several nodes as target orbit

In this paper, based on the invariance principle of differential equation, a simple adaptive control method is proposed to synchronize the dynamical networks with the general coupling functions. Comparing with other adaptive control methods, the weighted average of a few nodes’ states is used as target orbit to design controller. To show the effectiveness of proposed method, some numerical simulations are performed.     

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.

Feedback control and hybrid projective synchronization of a fractional-order Newton-Leipnik system

In this work, stability analysis of the fractional-order Newton-Leipnik system is studied by using the fractional Routh-Hurwitz criteria. The fractional Routh-Hurwitz conditions are used to control chaos in the proposed fractional-order system to its equilibria. Based on the fractional Routh-Hurwitz conditions and using specific choice of linear feedback controllers, it is shown that the Newton-Leipnik system is controlled to its equilibrium points. Moreover, the theoretical basis of hybird projective synchronization of commensurate and incommensurate fractional-order Newton-Leipnik systems is investigated. Based on the stability theorems of fractional-order systems, the controllers for hybrid projective synchroniztion are derived. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.     

Adaptive open-plus-closed-loop method of projective synchronization in drive-response dynamical networks

This paper investigates the problem of projective synchronization (PS) in drive-response dynamical networks (DRDNs) with mismatched terms. Based on the adaptive open-plus-closed-loop (AOPCL) method, a general method of PS is derived in DRDNs, which is robust to limited accuracy of data and effects of noise. Moreover, the feedback gains of the closed loop control part can be automatically adapted to suitable constants. Corresponding numerical simulations on Lorenz system are performed to verify and illustrate the analytical 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.     

Synchronizing chaotic systems up to an arbitrary scaling matrix via a single signal

This paper introduces a novel type of synchronization, where two chaotic systems synchronize up to an arbitrary scaling matrix. In particular, each drive system state synchronizes with a linear combination of response system states by using a single synchronizing signal. The proposed observer-based method exploits a theorem that assures asymptotic synchronization for a wide class of continuous-time chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems. Two examples, involving Rössler’s system and a hyperchaotic oscillator, show that the proposed technique is a general framework to achieve any type of synchronization defined to date.     

Chaos synchronization between two different chaotic systems via nonlinear feedback control

Dead-beat full state hybrid projective synchronization for chaotic maps using a scalar synchronizing signal

This paper provides a contribution to the topic of full state hybrid projective synchronization (FSHPS) by introducing an observer-based approach that enables synchronization to be achieved via a scalar synchronizing signal. The method is based on a theorem that assures dead-beat synchronization (i.e., exact synchronization in finite time) to a wide class of discrete-time chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems. Two examples, involving the hyperchaotic Grassi-Miller map and the hyperchaotic double scroll map, show that FSHPS can be effectively achieved in finite time using a scalar synchronizing signal only.     

Adaptive synchronization to a general non-autonomous chaotic system and its applications

In this paper, new adaptive synchronous criteria for a general class of n-dimensional non-autonomous chaotic systems with linear and nonlinear feedback controllers are derived. By suitable separation between linear and nonlinear terms of the chaotic system, the phenomenon of stable chaotic synchronization can be achieved using an appropriate adaptive controller of feedback signals. This method can also be generalized to a form for chaotic synchronization or hyper-chaotic synchronization. Based on stability theory on non-autonomous chaotic systems, some simple yet less conservative criteria for global asymptotic synchronization of the autonomous and non-autonomous chaotic systems are derived analytically. Furthermore, the results are applied to some typical chaotic systems such as the Duffing oscillators and the unified chaotic systems, and the numerical simulations are given to verify and also visualize the theoretical results.     

Modified generalized projective synchronization of a new fractional-order hyperchaotic system and its application to secure communication

This paper presents a new fractional-order hyperchaotic system. The chaotic behaviors of this system in phase portraits are analyzed by the fractional calculus theory and computer simulations. Numerical results have revealed that hyperchaos does exist in the new fractional-order four-dimensional system with order less than 4 and the lowest order to have hyperchaos in this system is 3.664. The existence of two positive Lyapunov exponents further verifies our results. Furthermore, a novel modified generalized projective synchronization (MGPS) for the fractional-order chaotic systems is proposed based on the stability theory of the fractional-order system, where the states of the drive and response systems are asymptotically synchronized up to a desired scaling matrix. The unpredictability of the scaling factors in projective synchronization can additionally enhance the security of communication. Thus MGPS of the new fractional-order hyperchaotic system is applied to secure communication. Computer simulations are done to verify the proposed methods and the numerical results show that the obtained theoretic results are feasible and efficient.

Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, adaptive control laws are designed to achieving the AMFPS. Finally, some numerical simulations are obtained to validate the proposed methods.     

Synchronizing chaotic dynamics with uncertainties using a predictable synchronization delay design

This paper deals with synchronization and optimization problems of second-order chaotic oscillators by applying a novel control scheme. The approach developed considers incomplete state measurements and no detailed model of the systems to guarantee robust stability. This approach includes an uncertainty estimator and leads to a robust predictable feedback control scheme. The synchronization of the ⁶-Duffing and ⁶-Van der Pol oscillators was used as an illustrative example. A fairly good agreement is obtained between the analytical and numerical results.     

Adaptive backstepping sliding mode control for chaos synchronization of two coupled neurons in the external electrical stimulation

In this paper, a robust control system combining backstepping and sliding mode control techniques is used to realize the synchronization of two gap junction coupled chaotic FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neurons in the external electrical stimulation. A backstepping sliding mode approach is applied firstly to compensate the uncertainty which occur in the control system. However, the bound of uncertainty is necessary in the design of the backstepping sliding mode controller. To relax the requirement for the bound of uncertainty, an adaptive backstepping sliding mode controller with a simple adaptive law to adapt the uncertainty in real time is designed. The adaptive backstepping sliding mode control system is robust for time-varying external disturbances. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the control scheme.     

Modified function projective lag synchronization of chaotic systems with disturbance estimations

This paper addresses the modified function projective lag synchronization (MFPLS) for a class of chaotic systems with unknown external disturbances. The disturbances are supposed to be generated by the exogenous systems. By using the disturbance-observer-based control and the linear matrix inequality approach, the disturbance observers are developed to ensure the boundedness of the disturbance error dynamics. Then by employing the sliding mode control (SMC) technique, an active SMC law is established to guarantee the disturbance rejection and realize MFPLS between the master and slave systems. And the corresponding numerical simulation is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Projective lag synchronization of spatiotemporal chaos via active sliding mode control

This paper investigates projective lag synchronization of spatiotemporal chaos with disturbances. A control scheme is designed via active sliding mode control. The synchronization of spatiotemporal chaos between a drive system and a response system with disturbances and time-delay is implemented by adding the active sliding mode controllers. The control law is applied to two identical spatiotemporal Gray-Scott systems. Numerical results demonstrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Adaptive‐impulsive function projective synchronization for a class of time‐delay chaotic systems

This article investigates the function projective synchronization (FPS) for a class of time‐delay chaotic system via nonlinear adaptive‐impulsive control. To achieve the FPS, suitable nonlinear continuous and impulsive controllers are designed based on adaptive control theory and impulsive control theory. Using the generalized Babarlat's lemma, a general condition is given to ensure the FPS. Here, the time‐delay chaotic system is assumed to satisfy the Lipschitz condition while the Lipschitz constants are estimated by augmented adaptation equations. Numerical simulation results are also presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 333–341, 2015     

Tracking control and generalized projective synchronization of a class of hyperchaotic system with unknown parameter and disturbance

In this paper, the tracking control and generalized projective synchronization of a class of hyperchaotic system with unknown parameter and disturbance are investigated. Based on the LaSalle’s invariant set theorem, a robust adaptive controller is contrived to acquire tracking control and generalized projective synchronization and parameter identification simultaneously. It is proved theoretically that the proposed scheme can allow us to drive the hyperchaotic system to any desired reference signals, including hyperchaotic signals, chaotic signals, periodic orbits or fixed value by the given scaling factor. The presented simulation results further demonstrate that the proposed method is effective and robust.
