A note on phase synchronization in coupled chaotic fractional order systems

The dynamic behaviors of fractional order systems have received increasing attention in recent years. This paper addresses the reliable phase synchronization problem between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. An active nonlinear feedback control scheme is constructed to achieve phase synchronization between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. We investigated the necessary conditions for fractional order Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems to exhibit chaotic attractor similar to their integer order counterpart. Then, based on the stability results of fractional order systems, sufficient conditions for phase synchronization of the fractional models of Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems are derived. The synchronization scheme that is simple and global enables synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems to be achieved without the computation of the conditional Lyapunov exponents. Numerical simulations are performed to assess the performance of the presented analysis.     

Some simple global synchronization criterions for coupled time-varying chaotic systems

Based on the Lyapunov stabilization theory and matrix measure, this paper proposes some simple generic criterions of global chaos synchronization between two coupled time-varying chaotic systems from a unidirectional linear error feedback coupling approach. These simple criterions are applicable to some typical chaotic systems with different types of nonlinearity, such as the original Chua’s circuit and the Rössler chaotic system. The coupling parameters are determined according to the new criterion so as to ensure the coupled systems’ global chaos synchronization.     

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.     

A simple global synchronization criterion for coupled chaotic systems

Based on the Lyapunov stabilization theory and Gerschgorin theorem, a simple generic criterion is derived for global synchronization of two coupled chaotic systems with a unidirectional linear error feedback coupling. This simple criterion is applicable to a large class of chaotic systems, where only a few algebraic inequalities are involved. To demonstrate the efficiency of design, the suggested approach is applied to some typical chaotic systems with different types of nonlinearities, such as the original Chua’s circuit, the modified Chua’s circuit with a sine function, and the Rössler chaotic system. It is proved that these synchronizations are ensured by suitably designing the coupling parameters.     

Exponential synchronization of a new Lorenz-like attractor with uncertain parameters via single input

The new Lorenz-like attractor, reported by Li et al. (2009) [1], includes a product term of system parameters. It can be predicted that chaotic synchronization of this new chaotic system becomes more complicated by taking account of uncertain system parameters. In this paper, the exponential synchronization between two nearly identical Lorenz-like attractors by applying single input controller associated with system parameter update laws is proposed. Unlike multiple control inputs and state variable feedbacks required in chaotic synchronization in the literature, the proposed single input controller includes only one state variable proportional feedback. Two kinds of system parameter update laws are introduced and sufficient conditions are provided to guarantee exponential stability of both synchronous errors and system parameter errors. In addition, numerical simulations are also performed to verify the effectiveness of presented schemes.     

Global finite-time synchronization of different dimensional chaotic systems

This paper addresses the problem of global finite-time synchronization of two different dimensional chaotic systems. Firstly, the definition of global finite-time synchronization of different dimensional chaotic systems are introduced. Based on the finite-time stability methods, the controller is designed such that the chaotic systems are globally synchronized in a finite time. Then, some uncertain parameters are adopted in the chaotic systems, new control law and dynamical parameter estimation are proposed to guarantee that the global finite-time synchronization can be obtained. By considering a dynamical parameter designed in the controller, the adaptive updated controller is also designed to achieve the desired results. At last, the results of two different dimensional chaotic systems are also extended to two different dimensional networked chaotic systems. Finally, three numerical examples are given to verify the validity of the proposed methods.     

A new hyperchaotic system and its synchronization

In this paper, a four-dimensional (4D) continuous autonomous hyperchaotic system is introduced and analyzed. This hyperchaotic system is constructed by adding a linear controller to the 3D autonomous chaotic system with a reverse butterfly-shape attractor. Some of its basic dynamical properties, such as Lyapunov exponents, Poincare section, bifurcation diagram and the periodic orbits evolving into chaotic, hyperchaotic dynamical behavior by varying parameter d are studied. Furthermore, the full state hybrid projective synchronization (FSHPS) of new hyperchaotic system with unknown parameters including the unknown coefficients of nonlinear terms is studied by using adaptive control. Numerical simulations are presented to show the effective of the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.     

Adaptive synchronization of T–S fuzzy chaotic systems with unknown parameters

This paper presents a fuzzy model-based adaptive approach for synchronization of chaotic systems which consist of the drive and response systems. Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is employed to represent the chaotic drive and response systems. Since the parameters of the drive system are assumed unknown, we design the response system that estimates the parameters of the drive system by adaptive strategy. The adaptive law is derived to estimate the unknown parameters and its stability is guaranteed by Lyapunov stability theory. In addition, the controller in the response system contains two parts: one part that can stabilize the synchronization error dynamics and the other part that estimates the unknown parameters. Numerical examples, including Duffing oscillator and Lorenz attractor, are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed adaptive synchronization approach.     

Global chaos synchronization of new chaotic system using linear active control

Chaos synchronization is a procedure where one chaotic oscillator is forced to adjust the properties of another chaotic oscillator for all future states. This research paper studies and investigates the global chaos synchronization problem of two identical chaotic systems and two non‐identical chaotic systems using the linear active control technique. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and using the linear active control technique, the stabilizing controllers are designed for asymptotically global stability of the closed‐loop system for both identical and non‐identical synchronization. Numerical simulations and graphs are imparted to justify the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed scheme. All simulations have been done by using mathematica 9. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A simple adaptive control for full and reduced-order synchronization of uncertain time-varying chaotic systems

In this paper, a simple adaptive feedback control is proposed for full and reduced-order synchronization of time-varying and strictly uncertain chaotic systems. Our method uses only one feedback gain with parameter adaptation law and converges very fast even in the presence of noise. For full synchronization, a drive-response system consisting of two second-order identical parametrically excited oscillators achieve global synchronization; while for reduced-order synchronization, the dynamical evolution of a second-order parametrically driven oscillator is synchronized with the projection of a third-order time-varying chaotic system. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated using numerical simulations.     

Robust synchronization of chaotic non-autonomous systems using adaptive-feedback control

In this paper, we apply the simple adaptive-feedback control scheme to synchronize a class of chaotic non-autonomous systems. Based on the invariance principle of differential equations, some generic sufficient conditions for global asymptotic synchronization are obtained. Unlike the usual linear feedback, the variable feedback strength is automatically adapted to completely synchronize two identical systems and simple to implement in practice. As illustrative examples, synchronization of two parametrically excited chaotic pendulums and that of two 4D new systems are considered here. Numerical simulations show the proposed method is effective and robust against the effect of noise.     

Adaptive synchronization between two different chaotic dynamical systems

This work presents the synchronization between two different chaotic systems by using an adaptive feedback control scheme. The adaptive synchronization problem between an electrostatic system and electromechanical transducer has been investigated. An adaptive linear feedback law with two controllers is proposed to ensure the global chaos synchronization of the nonlinear electrostatic and electromechanical systems. Numerical simulations results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Global synchronization criteria for a class of third-order non-autonomous chaotic systems via linear state error feedback control

This paper investigates the global synchronization of a class of third-order non-autonomous chaotic systems via the master–slave linear state error feedback control. A sufficient global synchronization criterion of linear matrix inequality (LMI) and several algebraic synchronization criteria for single-variable coupling are proven. These LMI and algebraic synchronization criteria are then applied to two classes of well-known third-order chaotic systems, the generalized Lorenz systems and the gyrostat systems, proving that the local synchronization criteria for the chaotic generalized Lorenz systems developed in the existing literature can actually be extended to describe global synchronization and obtaining some easily implemented synchronization criteria for the gyrostat systems.     

Chaos control and synchronization for a special generalized Lorenz canonical system – The SM system

This paper presents some simple feedback control laws to study global stabilization and global synchronization for a special chaotic system described in the generalized Lorenz canonical form (GLCF) when τ = −1 (which, for convenience, we call Shimizu–Morioka system, or simply SM system). For an arbitrarily given equilibrium point, a simple feedback controller is designed to globally, exponentially stabilize the system, and reach globally exponent synchronization for two such systems. Based on the system’s coefficients and the structure of the system, simple feedback control laws and corresponding Lyapunov functions are constructed. Because all conditions are obtained explicitly in terms of algebraic expressions, they are easy to be implemented and applied to real problems. Numerical simulation results are presented to verify the theoretical predictions.     

Linearly and nonlinearly bidirectionally coupled synchronization of hyperchaotic systems

To date, there have been many results about unidirectionally coupled synchronization of chaotic systems. However, much less work is reported on bidirectionally-coupled synchronization. In this paper, we investigate the synchronization of two bidirectionally coupled Chen hyperchaotic systems, which are coupled linearly and nonlinearly respectively. Firstly, linearly coupled synchronization of two hyperchaotic Chen systems is investigated, and a theorem on how to choose the coupling coefficients are developed to guarantee the global asymptotical synchronization of two coupled hyperchaotic systems. Analysis shows that the choice of the coupling coefficients relies on the bound of the chaotic system. Secondly, the nonlinearly coupled synchronization is studied; a sufficient condition for the locally asymptotical synchronization is derived, which is independent of the bound of the hyperchaotic system. Finally, numerical simulations are included to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the developed theorems.     

Bounds for a new chaotic system and its application in chaos synchronization

This paper has investigated the localization problem of compact invariant sets of a new chaotic system with the help of the iteration theorem and the first order extremum theorem. If there are more iterations, then the estimation for the bound of the system will be more accurate, because the shape of the chaotic attractor is irregular. We establish that all compact invariant sets of this system are located in the intersection of a ball with two frusta and we also compute its parameters. It is a great advantage that we can attain a smaller bound of the chaotic attractor compared with the classical method. One numerical example illustrating a localization of a chaotic attractor is presented as well.     

Adaptive synchronization of identical chaotic and hyper-chaotic systems with uncertain parameters

This paper addresses a unified mathematical expression describing a class of chaotic systems, for which the problem of adaptive synchronization between two nearly identical chaotic and hyper-chaotic systems with uncertain parameters is studied. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, a novel adaptive synchronization controller is designed, and the analytic expression of the controller and the adaptive laws of parameters are developed. The controller is simple and systemic, no parameters of the slave system are included in the controller, and, for some specific error systems, the controller can be simplified ulteriorly. New chaotic and a new hyper-chaotic systems with uncertain parameters are taken as the examples to show the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive synchronization method.     

Chaos synchronization between two different chaotic dynamical systems

This work presents chaos synchronization between two different chaotic systems by nonlinear control laws. First, synchronization problem between Genesio system and Rossler system has been investigated, and then the similar approach is applied to the synchronization problem between Genesio system and a new chaotic system developed recently in the literature. The control performances are verified by two numerical examples.     

Finite-time chaos synchronization of unified chaotic system with uncertain parameters

This paper deals with the finite-time chaos synchronization of the unified chaotic system with uncertain parameters. Based on the finite-time stability theory, a control law is proposed to realize finite-time chaos synchronization for the unified chaotic system with uncertain parameters. The controller is simple, robust and only part parameters are required to be bounded. Simulation results for the Lorenz, Lü and Chen chaotic systems are presented to validate the design and the analysis.     

Linear generalized synchronization of continuous-time chaotic systems

This paper develops a general approach for constructing a response system to implement linear generalized synchronization (GS) with the drive continuous-time chaotic system. Some sufficient conditions of global asymptotic linear GS between the drive and response continuous-time chaotic systems are attained from rigorously modern control theory. Finally, we take Chua’s circuit as an example for illustration and verification.
