Tracking control and synchronization of chaotic systems based upon sampled—data feedback

A novel tracking control and synchronization method is proposed based upon sampled-data feedback.This method can make a chaotic system approach any desired smooth orbit and synchronize the driving system and the response system,both in the same structure and in diverse structures.Finally,a numerical simulation with a Lorenz system is provided for the purpose of illustration and verification.     

Comments on ＂The feedback control of fractional order unified chaotic system＂

Our comments point out some mistakes in the main theorem given by Yang and Qi in Ref. [1] concerning the equivalent passivity method to design a nonlinear controller for the stabilizing fractional order unified chaotic system. The proof of this theorem is not reliable, since the mathematical basis of the fractional order calculus is not considered. Moreover, there are some algebraic mistakes in the inequalities used, thus making the proof invalid. We propose a proper Lyapunov function and the stability of Yang and Qi's Controller is investigated based on the fractional order Lyapunov theorem.     

A Criterion for Stability of Synchronization and Application to Coupled Chua＇s Systems

We investigate synchronization in an array network of nearest-neighbor coupled chaotic oscillators. By using of the Lyapunov stability theory and matrix theory, a criterion for stability of complete synchronization is deduced. Meanwhile, an estimate of the critical coupling strength is obtained to ensure achieving chaos synchronization. As an example application, a model of coupled Chua＇s circuits with linearly bidirectional coupling is studied to verify the validity of the criterion.
