Comparison of feedback control methods for a hyperchaotic Lorenz system

More and more attention has been payed to the hyperchaotic system for the huge potential applications of hyperchaotic system such as secure communication and more complex structure than chaotic system. So at present the controlling of the hyperchaotic system simply and effectively is a frontier topic of nonlinear science. In this Letter, for the latest hyperchaotic Lorenz system, four feedback control methods were studied with analytic solution and necessary numerical simulations. It is found that the enhancing feedback control approach is the best choice of the given four feedback control methods for its relatively simple external inputs and relatively small necessary feedback coefficient after comparison. The conclusion is a helpful for the choice of control methods of any other chaotic and hyperchaotic systems.     

A novel study of parity and attractor in the time reversed Lorentz system

In this Letter, a new effective approach to achieve adaptive synchronization is proposed. Via using Ge-Yao-Chen (GYC) partial region stability theory and pragmatical asymptotically stability theorem, the numerical simulation results show that the states errors and parameter errors approach to zero much more exactly and efficiently than traditional method. The time reversed Lorenz system (called historical Lorenz system in this Letter) is introduced and used for example in this Letter. The simulation results are given in figures and tables for comparison between the new approach and traditional one to show the effectiveness and feasibility of our new strategy.     

A novel hyperchaos in the quantum Zakharov system for plasmas

The nonlinear interaction of quantum Langmuir waves (QLWs) and quantum ion-acoustic waves (QIAWs) described by the one-dimensional quantum Zakharov equations (QZEs) is reinvestigated. A Galerkin type approximation is used to reduce the QZS to a simplified system (SS) of nonlinear ordinary differential equations which governs the temporal behaviors of the slowly varying envelope of the high-frequency electric field and the low frequency density fluctuation. This SS is then shown to establish the coexistence of novel hyperchaotic attractors, whose appearance is explained by means of the analysis of Lyapunov exponent spectra as well as the Kaplan-Yorke dimension. The system has an equilibrium point which depends parametrically on the nondimensional quantum parameter (H) proportional to quantum diffraction, the plasmon number (N) and the wave number of perturbation (α), and which can evolve into periodic, quasi-periodic, chaotic and hyperchaotic states in both semiclassical and quantum cases.     

Filter based non-invasive control of chaos in Buck converter

A non-invasive method for controlling chaos in the voltage-mode Buck converter is proposed by using a hybrid active filter based feedback controller in this Letter. The harmonic balance method is applied to obtaining the bifurcation-point equations of the controlled system. Hence, a stability-boundary diagram is constructed, through which the control parameters are chosen correctly. The results of simulation and experiment are given after all.     

Frontward-response control of sudden occurrence of chaos

In this Letter, a novel approach to controlling chaos in one-dimensional discrete-time nonlinear autonomous systems is proposed. The method is validated for sudden occurrence of chaos (SOC); its efficacy is demonstrated via numerical simulations of the mappings. The method is simple in implementation. The approach looks highly promising and may have diverse applications.     

Prediction based chaos control via a new neural network

In this Letter, a new chaos control scheme based on chaos prediction is proposed. To perform chaos prediction, a new neural network architecture for complex nonlinear approximation is proposed. And the difficulty in building and training the neural network is also reduced. Simulation results of Logistic map and Lorenz system show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos control scheme and the proposed neural network.     

Direct transition from a stable equilibrium to quasiperiodicity in non-smooth systems

The purpose of this Letter is to show how a border-collision bifurcation in a piecewise-smooth dynamical system can produce a direct transition from a stable equilibrium point to a two-dimensional invariant torus. Considering a system of nonautonomous differential equations describing the behavior of a power electronic DC/DC converter, we first determine the chart of dynamical modes and show that there is a region of parameter space in which the system has a single stable equilibrium point. Under variation of the parameters, this equilibrium may collide with a discontinuity boundary between two smooth regions in phase space. When this happens, one can observe a number of different bifurcation scenarios. One scenario is the continuous transformation of the stable equilibrium into a stable period-1 cycle. Another is the transformation of the stable equilibrium into an unstable period-1 cycle with complex conjugate multipliers, and the associated formation of a two-dimensional (ergodic or resonant) torus.     

The chaotification of discrete Hopfield neural networks via impulsive control

The chaotification of discrete Hopfield neural networks is studied with impulsive control techniques. No matter whether the original systems are stable or not, chaotilication theorems for discrete Hopfield neural networks are derived, respectively. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results is illustrated by some numerical examples.     

Impulsive Control for Fractional-Order Chaotic Systems

We propose an impulsive control scheme for fractional-order chaotic systems. Based on the Takagi-Sugeno （T-S） fuzzy model and linear matrix inequalities （LMfs）, some sufficient conditions are given to stabilize the fractional-order chaotic system via impulsive control. Numerical simulation shows the effectiveness of this approach.     

A novel three-dimensional autonomous chaotic system generating two, three and four-scroll attractors

In this Letter a novel three-dimensional autonomous chaotic system is proposed. Of particular interest is that this novel system can generate two, three and four-scroll chaotic attractors with variation of a single parameter. By applying either analytical or numerical methods, basic properties of the system, such as dynamical behaviors (time history and phase diagrams), Poincaré mapping, bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponents are investigated to observe chaotic motions. The obtained results clearly show that this is a new chaotic system which deserves further detailed investigation.     

Synchronization Scheme for Uncertain Chaotic Systems via RBF Neural Network

A sliding mode adaptive synchronization controller is presented with a neural network of radial basis function （RBF） for two chaotic systems. The uncertainty of the synchronization error system is approximated by the RBF neural network. The synchronization controller is given based on the output of the RBF neural network. The proposed controller can make the synchronization error convergent to zero in 5s and can overcome disruption of the uncertainty of the system and the exterior disturbance. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization control method.     

The analysis of a novel 3-D autonomous system and circuit implementation

This Letter presents a new three-dimensional autonomous system with four quadratic terms. The system with five equilibrium points has complex chaotic dynamics behaviors. It can generate many different single chaotic attractors and double coexisting chaotic attractors over a large range of parameters. We observe that these chaotic attractors were rarely reported in previous work. The complex dynamical behaviors of the system are further investigated by means of phase portraits, Lyapunov exponents spectrum, Lyapunov dimension, dissipativeness of system, bifurcation diagram and Poincaré map. The physical circuit experimental results of the chaotic attractors show agreement with numerical simulations. More importantly, the analysis of frequency spectrum shows that the novel system has a broad frequency bandwidth, which is very desirable for engineering applications such as secure communications.     

Chaotification of discrete dynamical systems via impulsive control

This Letter is concerned with chaotification of discrete dynamical systems in finite-dimensional real spaces, via impulsive control techniques. Chaotification theorems for one-dimensional discrete dynamical systems and general higher-dimensional discrete dynamical systems are derived, respectively, whether the original systems are stable or not. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results is illustrated by some numerical examples.     

Synchronization and control of chaos in coupled chaotic multimode Nd:YAG lasers

In this Letter we numerically investigate the dynamics of a system of two coupled chaotic multimode Nd:YAG lasers with two mode and three mode outputs. Unidirectional and bidirectional coupling schemes are adopted; intensity time series plots, phase space plots and synchronization plots are used for studying the dynamics. Quality of synchronization is measured using correlation index plots. It is found that for laser with two mode output bidirectional direct coupling scheme is found to be effective in achieving complete synchronization, control of chaos and amplification in output intensity. For laser with three mode output, bidirectional difference coupling scheme gives much better chaotic synchronization as compared to unidirectional difference coupling but at the cost of higher coupling strength. We also conclude that the coupling scheme and system properties play an important role in determining the type of synchronization exhibited by the system.     

Equilibrium-torus bifurcation in nonsmooth systems

Considering a set of two coupled nonautonomous differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides describing the behavior of a DC/DC power converter, we discuss a border-collision bifurcation that can lead to the birth of a two-dimensional invariant torus from a stable node equilibrium point. We obtain the chart of dynamic modes and show that there is a region of parameter space in which the system has a single stable node equilibrium point. Under variation of the parameters, this equilibrium may disappear as it collides with a discontinuity boundary between two smooth regions in the phase space. The disappearance of the equilibrium point is accompanied by the soft appearance of an unstable focus period-1 orbit surrounded by a resonant or ergodic torus.Detailed numerical calculations are supported by a theoretical investigation of the normal form map that represents the piecewise linear approximation to our system in the neighbourhood of the border. We determine the functional relationships between the parameters of the normal form map and the actual system and illustrate how the normal form theory can predict the bifurcation behaviour along the border-collision equilibrium-torus bifurcation curve.     

Dynamic Feedback Controlling Chaos in Current-Mode Boost Converter

A method for the control of chaos in the current-mode boost converter is presented by using the first-order dynamic feedback control. The feedback part consists of a resistance and a capacitance in series. The system to be controlled is treated as a third-order model, and then the discrete mapping model is obtained by using the data-sampling method. By analysing the position of the maximum norm eigenvalue, the stable range of feedback gain is ascertained out and its optimization is also carried out. Finally, the results of simulation and experiment confirm the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the validity of the proposed means.     

General methods for modified projective synchronization of hyperchaotic systems with known or unknown parameters

This work is concerned with the general methods for modified projective synchronization of hyperchaotic systems. A systematic method of active control is developed to synchronize two hyperchaotic systems with known parameters. Moreover, by combining the adaptive control and linear feedback methods, general sufficient conditions for the modified projective synchronization of identical or different chaotic systems with fully unknown or partially unknown parameters are presented. Meanwhile, the speed of parameters identification can be regulated by adjusting adaptive gain matrix. Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

A three-scroll chaotic attractor

This Letter introduces a new chaotic member to the three-dimensional smooth autonomous quadratic system family, which derived from the classical Lorenz system but exhibits a three-scroll chaotic attractor. Interestingly, the two other scrolls are symmetry related with respect to the z-axis as for the Lorenz attractor, but the third scroll of this three-scroll chaotic attractor is around the z-axis. Some basic dynamical properties, such as Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimension, Poincaré map and chaotic dynamical behaviors of the new chaotic system are investigated, either numerically or analytically. The obtained results clearly show this is a new chaotic system and deserves further detailed investigation.     

Self-Stable Chaos Control of dc-dc Converter

A new concept related to self-stable chaos control is first put forward, and its theoretical basis and realization are presented from the frequency-domain perspective. With a new analogous-circuit realization of this control its applications in the voltage-mode Buck converter is discussed. The harmonic-balance method is applied to determine the control range of the control parameter. The experiment results given in the last part confirm the validity of the proposed control method.

More importantly, the novel system can generate three-layer chaotic attractor, four-layer chaotic attractor, five-layer chaotic attractor, multilayer chaotic attractor by choosing different parameters and initial condition. We analyze the new system by means of phase portraits, Lyapunov exponent spectrum, fractional dimension, bifurcation diagram and Poincaré maps of the system. The three-dimensional autonomous system is totally different from the well-known systems in previous work. The new multilayer chaotic attractors are also worth causing attention.
