Synchronization of three dimensional chaotic systems via a single state feedback

This paper investigates the synchronization of three dimensional chaotic systems by extending our previous method for chaos stabilization, and proposes a novel simple adaptive feedback controller for chaos synchronization. In comparison with previous methods, the present controller contains single state feedback. To our knowledge, the above controller is the simplest control scheme for synchronizing the three dimensional chaotic systems. The results are validated using numerical simulations.     

Adaptive projective synchronization for a class of switched chaotic systems

This paper addresses the problem of projective synchronization of chaotic systems and switched chaotic systems by adaptive control methods. First, a necessary and sufficient condition is proposed to show how many state variables can realize projective synchronization under a linear feedback controller for the chaotic systems. Then, accordingly, a new algorithm is given to select all state variables that can realize projective synchronization. Furthermore, according to the results of the projective synchronization of chaotic systems, the problem of projective synchronization of the switched chaotic systems comprised by the unified chaotic systems is investigated, and an adaptive global linear feedback controller with only one input channel is designed, which can realize the projective synchronization under the arbitrary switching law. It is worth mentioning that the proposed method can also realize complete synchronization of the switched chaotic systems. Finally, the numerical simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Intelligent control of chaos using linear feedback controller and neural network identifier

A method for controlling chaos when the mathematical model of the system is unknown is presented in this paper. The controller is designed by the pole placement algorithm which provides a linear feedback control method. For calculating the feedback gain, a neural network is used for identification of the system from which the Jacobian of the system in its fixed point can be approximated. The weights of the neural network are adjusted online by the gradient descent algorithm in which the difference between the system output and the network output is considered as the error to be decreased. The method is applied on both discrete-time and continuous-time systems. For continuous-time systems, equivalent discrete-time systems are constructed by using the Poincare map concept. Two discrete-time systems and one continuous-time system are tested as examples for simulation and the results show good functionality of the proposed method. It can be concluded that the chaos in systems with unknown dynamics may be eliminated by the presented intelligent control system based on pole placement and neural network.     

Controlling chaos for the dynamical system of coupled dynamos

This work is a tutorial on the different methods to control chaotic behaviour of the coupled dynamos system. Feedback and nonfeedback control techniques are proposed to suppress chaos to unstable equilibrium or unstable periodic solution. The stabilization of unstable fixed point of the chaotic behaviours is achieved also by bounded feedback method. Stability of the controlled systems are studied by Routh–Hurwitz criterion. Nonfeedback method and a derived method based on the delay feedback control are used to control chaos to periodic orbits. Numerical simulation results are included to show the control process of the different methods.     

Observer-based adaptive control of chaos in nonlinear discrete-time systems using time-delayed state feedback

A new approach to adaptive control of chaos in a class of nonlinear discrete-time-varying systems, using a delayed state feedback scheme, is presented. It is discussed that such systems can show chaotic behavior as their parameters change. A strategy is employed for on-line calculation of the Lyapunov exponents that will be used within an adaptive scheme that decides on the control effort to suppress the chaotic behavior once detected. The scheme is further augmented with a nonlinear observer for estimation of the states that are required by the controller but are hard to measure. Simulation results for chaotic control problem of Jin map are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

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.     

Stabilization and tracking controller for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems

In this paper, stabilization and tracking control problem for parametric strict feedback class of discrete time systems is addressed. Recursive design of control function based on contraction theory framework is proposed instead of traditional Lyapunov based method. Explicit structure of controller is derived for the addressed class of nonlinear discrete-time systems. Conditions for exponential stability of system states are derived in terms of controller parameters. At each stage of recursive procedure a specific structure of Jacobian matrix is ensured so as to satisfy conditions of stability. The closed loop dynamics in this case remains nonlinear in nature. The proposed algorithm establishes global stability results in quite a simple manner as it does not require formulation of error dynamics. Problem of stabilization and output tracking control in case of single link manipulator system with actuator dynamics is analyzed using the proposed strategy. The proposed results are further extended to stabilization of discrete time chaotic systems. Numerical simulations presented in the end show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Adaptive control and synchronization of chaotic systems consisting of Van der Pol oscillators coupled to linear oscillators

This paper deals with the problem of control and synchronization of coupled second-order oscillators showing a chaotic behavior. A classical feedback controller is first used to stabilize the system at its equilibrium. An adaptive observer is then designed to synchronize the states of the master and slave oscillators using a single scalar signal corresponding to an observable state variable of the driving oscillator. An interesting feature of the proposed approach is that it can be used for chaos control as well as synchronization purposes. Numerical simulations results confirming the analytical predictions are shown and pspice simulations are also performed to confirm the efficiency of the proposed control scheme.     

Feedback control and adaptive control of the energy resource chaotic system

In this paper, the problem of control for the energy resource chaotic system is considered. Two different method of control, feedback control (include linear feedback control, non-autonomous feedback control) and adaptive control methods are used to suppress chaos to unstable equilibrium or unstable periodic orbits. The Routh–Hurwitz criteria and Lyapunov direct method are used to study the conditions of the asymptotic stability of the steady states of the controlled system. The designed adaptive controller is robust with respect to certain class of disturbances in the energy resource chaotic system. Numerical simulations are presented to show these results.

The proposed scheme offers systematic design method for the synchronization of a class of discrete-time hyper-chaotic systems, which implies much complicated high-order chaotic systems can be used to improve the security in chaos communications. A well-known chaotic systems: generalized Henon map is considered as illustrative example to demonstrate the general applicability of backstepping design. Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the approach.     

Synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic oscillators under input saturation

This paper addresses the design of simple state feedback controllers for synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic oscillators under input saturation and disturbance. By employing sector condition, linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based sufficient conditions are derived to design (global or local) controllers for chaos synchronization. The proposed local synchronization strategy guarantees a region of stability in terms of difference between states of the master–slave systems. This region of stability can be enlarged by means of an LMI-based optimization algorithm, through which asymptotic synchronization of chaotic oscillators can be ensured for a large difference in their initial conditions. Further, a novel LMI-based robust control strategy is developed, for local synchronization of input-constrained chaotic oscillators, by providing an upper bound on synchronization error in terms of disturbance and initial conditions of chaotic systems. Moreover, the proposed robust state feedback control methodology is modified to provide an inaugural treatment for robust anti-synchronization of chaotic systems under input saturation and disturbance. The results of the proposed methodologies are verified through numerical simulations for synchronization and anti-synchronization of the master–slave chaotic Chua’s circuits under input saturation.     

Control of time-periodic systems via symbolic computation with application to chaos control

A general method for the control of linear time-periodic systems employing symbolic computation of Floquet transition matrix is considered in this work. It is shown that this method is applicable to chaos control. Nonlinear chaotic systems can be driven to a desired periodic motion by designing a combination of a feedforward controller and a feedback controller. The design of the feedback controller is achieved through the symbolic computation of fundamental solution matrix of linear time-periodic systems in terms of unknown control gains. Then, the Floquet transition matrix (state transition matrix evaluated at the end of the principal period) can determine the stability of the system owing to classical techniques such as pole placement, Routh–Hurwitz criteria, etc. Thus it is possible to place the Floquet multipliers in the desired locations to determine the control gains. This method can be applied to systems without small parameters. The Duffing’s oscillator, the Rössler system and the nonautonomous parametrically forced Lorenz equations are chosen as illustrative examples to demonstrate the application.

Chaos control using small-amplitude damping signals of the extended Duffing equation

This paper examines the application of a simple feedback controller to eliminate the chaotic behavior in a controlled extended Duffing system. The main idea is to regulate the chaotic motion of an extended Duffing system around less complex attractors, such as equilibrium points and periodic orbits. The proposed feedback controller is composed by a high-pass filter and a saturator, so its implementation is quite simple and can be made on the basis of measured signals. The affectivity of the proposed feedback control strategy is illustrated by means of numerical simulations.     

A new hyperchaotic system from the Lü system and its control

This paper presents a 4D new hyperchaotic system which is constructed by a linear controller to a 3D Lü system. Some complex dynamical behaviors such as Hopf bifurcation, chaos and hyperchaos of the simple 4D autonomous system are investigated and analyzed. The corresponding hyperchaotic and chaotic attractor is first numerically verified through investigating phase trajectories, Lyapunove exponents, bifurcation path, analysis of power spectrum and Poincaré projections. Furthermore, the design is illustrated with both simulations and experiments. Finally, the control problem of a new hyperchaotic system is investigated using negative feedback control. Ordinary feedback control, dislocated feedback control and speed feedback control are used to suppress hyperchaos to an unstable equilibrium. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.     

Sliding mode control for chaotic systems based on LMI

This paper investigates the chaos control problem for a general class of chaotic systems. A feedback controller is established to guarantee asymptotical stability of the chaotic systems based on the sliding mode control theory. A new reaching law is introduced to solve the chattering problem that is produced by traditional sliding mode control. A dynamic compensator is designed to improve the performance of the closed-loop system in sliding mode, and its parameter is obtained from a linear matrix inequality (LMI). Simulation results for the well known Chua’s circuit and Lorenz chaotic system are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Connections among several chaos feedback control approaches and chaotic vibration control of mechanical systems

This study reveals the essential connections among several popular chaos feedback control approaches, such as delayed feedback control (DFC), stability transformation method (STM), adaptive adjustment method (AAM), parameter adjustment method, relaxed Newton method, and speed feedback control method (SFCM), etc. Meanwhile, the generality and practical applicability of these approaches are evaluated and compared. It is shown that for discrete chaotic maps, STM can be regarded as a kind of predictive feedback control, and AAM is actually a special case of STM which is merely effective for a particular dynamical system. The parameter adjustment method is only a different expression of the relaxed Newton method, and both of them represent just one search direction of STM, i.e., the gradient direction. Moreover, the intrinsic relation between the STM and SFCM for controlling the equilibrium of continuous autonomous systems is investigated, indicating that STM can be viewed as a special form of the SFCM. Finally, both the STM and SFCM are extended to control the chaotic vibrations of non-autonomous mechanical systems effectively.

This methods are applicable to a large class of chaotic systems where only a few algebraic inequalities are involved. Numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization method.
