Synchronization of two different uncertain chaotic systems with unknown parameters using a robust adaptive sliding mode controller

In this paper, a robust adaptive sliding mode controller (RASMC) is proposed to realize chaos synchronization between two different chaotic systems with uncertainties, external disturbances and fully unknown parameters. It is assumed that both master and slave chaotic systems are perturbed by uncertainties, external disturbances and unknown parameters. The bounds of the uncertainties and external disturbances are assumed to be unknown in advance. Suitable update laws are designed to tackle the uncertainties, external disturbances and unknown parameters. For constructing the RASMC a simple sliding surface is first designed. Then, the RASMC is derived to guarantee the occurrence of the sliding motion. The robustness and stability of the proposed RASMC is proved using Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the introduced RASMC is applied to achieve chaos synchronization between three different pairs of the chaotic systems (Lorenz–Chen, Chen–Lorenz, and Liu–Lorenz) in the presence of the uncertainties, external disturbances and unknown parameters. Some numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed RASMC.     

Robust stabilization for uncertain switched impulsive control systems with state delay: An LMI approach

This paper deals with the problem of robust H_∞ state feedback stabilization for uncertain switched linear systems with state delay. The system under consideration involves time delay in the state, parameter uncertainties and nonlinear uncertainties. The parameter uncertainties are norm-bounded time-varying uncertainties which enter all the state matrices. The nonlinear uncertainties meet with the linear growth condition. In addition, the impulsive behavior is introduced into the given switched system, which results a novel class of hybrid and switched systems called switched impulsive control systems. Using the switched Lyapunov function approach, some sufficient conditions are developed to ensure the globally robust asymptotic stability and robust H_∞ disturbance attenuation performance in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Not only the robustly stabilizing state feedback H_∞ controller and impulsive controller, but also the stabilizing switching law can be constructed by using the corresponding feasible solution to the LMIs. Finally, the effectiveness of the algorithms is illustrated with an example.     

Projective synchronization of time‒delayed chaotic systems with unknown parameters using adaptive control method

The present article aims to study the projective synchronization between two identical and non?identical time?delayed chaotic systems with fully unknown parameters. Here the asymptotical and global synchronization are achieved by means of adaptive control approach based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional theory. The proposed technique is successfully applied to investigate the projective synchronization for the pairs of time?delayed chaotic systems amongst advanced Lorenz system as drive system with multiple delay Rössler system and time?delayed Chua's oscillator as response system. An adaptive controller and parameter update laws for unknown parameters are designed so that the drive system is controlled to be the response system. Numerical simulation results, depicted graphically, are carried out using Runge–Kutta Method for delay?differential equations, showing that the design of controller and the adaptive parameter laws are very effective and reliable and can be applied for synchronization of time?delayed chaotic systems.

Robust stability and H∞ control for nonlinear discrete‐time switched systems with interval time‐varying delay

This paper considers the problems of the robust stability analysis and H_∞ controller synthesis for uncertain discrete‐time switched systems with interval time‐varying delay and nonlinear disturbances. Based on the system transformation and by introducing a switched Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional, the novel sufficient conditions, which guarantee that the uncertain discrete‐time switched system is robust asymptotically stable are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Then, the robust H_∞ control synthesis via switched state feedback is studied for a class of discrete‐time switched systems with uncertainties and nonlinear disturbances. We designed a switched state feedback controller to stabilize asymptotically discrete‐time switched systems with interval time‐varying delay and H_∞ disturbance attenuation level based on matrix inequality conditions. Examples are provided to illustrate the advantage and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

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.     

Robust finite-time convergence of chaotic systems via adaptive terminal sliding mode scheme

This paper investigates robust finite-time stabilization of a class of uncertain chaotic systems. A new terminal sliding mode (TSM) algorithm is proposed to steer the plant fast to zero within finite time. In particular, a new form of TSM is developed for multi-input and multi-output systems, and some criteria are presented to facilitate its control design. With adaption laws to identify uncertain parameters and unknown bounds on disturbances, the proposed terminal sliding mode controllers get rid of uncertainties and nonlinearities successfully. The closed-loop systems are provided with fast finite-time stability and strong robustness against uncertainties. Finally, numerical simulation of Lorenz system illustrates the effectiveness of this proposed control scheme.     

Synchronization of mechanical horizontal platform systems in finite time

The horizontal platform system (HPS) is a mechanical device that exhibits rich and chaotic dynamics. In this paper, the problem of finite-time synchronization of two non-autonomous chaotic HPSs is investigated. It is assumed that both drive and response systems are disturbed by model uncertainties, external disturbances and fully unknown parameters. Appropriate update laws are proposed to undertake the unknown parameters. Using the update laws and finite-time control theory, a robust adaptive controller is derived to synchronize the two uncertain HPSs in a given finite time. Subsequently, the effects of input nonlinearities are taken into account and a robust adaptive controller is introduced to synchronize the two uncertain HPSs within a finite time. The finite-time stability and convergence of the proposed schemes are analytically proved. Two illustrative examples are presented to show the robustness and applicability of the proposed adaptive finite-time control techniques.     

Quadratic optimal synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems

This paper investigates the quadratic optimal synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems with parameter mismatch, parametric perturbations and external disturbances on both master and slave systems. A robust control scheme based on Lyapunov stability theory and quadratic optimal control approach is derived to realize chaotic synchronization. The sufficient criterion for stability condition is formulated in a linear matrix inequality (LMI) form. The effect of uncertain parameters and external disturbance is suppressed to an H_∞ norm constraint. An adaptive algorithm is proposed to adjust the uncertain bound in the robust controller avoiding the chattering phenomena. The simulation results for synchronization of the Chua’s circuit system and the Lorenz system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Chaos synchronization between two different chaotic systems with uncertainties, external disturbances, unknown parameters and input nonlinearities

In this paper, the problem of chaos synchronization between two different uncertain chaotic systems with input nonlinearities is investigated. Both master and slave systems are perturbed by model uncertainties, external disturbances and unknown parameters. The bounds of the model uncertainties and external disturbances are assumed to be unknown in advance. First, a simple linear sliding surface is selected. Then, appropriate adaptive laws are derived to tackle the model uncertainties, external disturbances and unknown parameters. Subsequently, based on the adaptive laws and Lyapunov stability theory, a robust adaptive sliding mode control law is designed to guarantee the existence of the sliding motion. Two illustrative examples are presented to verify the usefulness and applicability of the proposed technique.     

Finite-time synchronization for coupled systems with time delay and stochastic disturbance under feedback control

This paper proposes a framework for finite-time synchronization of coupled systems with time delay and stochastic disturbance under feedback control. Combining Kirchhoff"s Matrix Tree Theorem with Lyapunov method as well as stochastic analysis techniques, several sufficient conditions are derived. Differing from previous references, the finite time provided by us is related to topological structure of networks. In addition, two concrete applications about stochastic coupled oscillators with time delay and stochastic Lorenz chaotic coupled systems with time delay are presented, respectively. Besides, two synchronization criteria are provided. Ultimately, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the obtained results.     

Robust Chaotic Synchronization for a Class of Disturbed Nonlinear Systems with Multiple Equilibria

This study concerns with the robust H _∞ synchronization problem for a class of nonlinear feedback control systems, which are subject to a vector-valued periodic nonlinearity in the feedback path. Under such synchronization configuration, the master system is assumed to be subject to an energy bounded input disturbance, and the slave one is under control. Sufficient conditions for controller design are proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities by respectively utilizing the output feedback control and the dynamic output control strategies, such that the master system robustly synchronizes the slave one with a guaranteed H _∞ performance. The derived methods can be applied to the robust H _∞ synchronization of many practical systems, and effectiveness of the obtained results are demonstrated through a concrete example of phase-locked loops (PLL).     

Robust reliable control for uncertain switched nonlinear systems with time delay under asynchronous switching

This paper investigates the problem of robust reliable control for a class of switched nonlinear systems with time delay and actuator failures under asynchronous switching. When the switching instants of the controller experience delays with respect to those of the system, a kind of reliable controller design method is proposed, and the dwell time approach is utilized for the stability analysis. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the reliable controller are formulated in terms of a set of LMIs. Then the proposed approach is extended to take into account switched delay systems with Lipschitz nonlinearities and structured uncertainties. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Further, another optimal control law is also applied to achieve the state synchronization of two identical Lorenz systems. Numerical results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Robust Stability and Stabilization of a Class of Nonlinear Switched Discrete-Time Systems with Time-Varying Delays

In this paper, we investigate the problems of robust delay-dependent ℒ₂ gain analysis and feedback control synthesis for a class of nominally-linear switched discrete-time systems with time-varying delays, bounded nonlinearities and real convex bounded parametric uncertainties in all system matrices under arbitrary switching sequences. We develop new criteria for such class of switched systems based on the constructive use of an appropriate switched Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional coupled with Finsler’s Lemma and a free-weighting parameter matrix. We establish an LMI characterization of delay-dependent conditions under which the nonlinear switched delay system is robustly asymptotically stable with an ℒ₂-gain smaller than a prescribed constant level. Switched feedback schemes, based on state measurements, output measurements or by using dynamic output feedback, are designed to guarantee that the corresponding switched closed-loop system enjoys the delay-dependent asymptotic stability with an ℒ₂ gain smaller than a prescribed constant level. All the developed results are expressed in terms of convex optimization over LMIs and tested on representative examples.

This letter investigates the function projective synchronization between fractional-order chaotic systems. Based on the stability theory of fractional-order systems and tracking control, a controller for the synchronization of two fractional-order chaotic systems is designed. This technique is applied to achieve synchronization between the fractional-order Lorenz systems with different orders, and achieve synchronization between the fractional-order Lorenz system and fractional-order Chen system. The numerical simulations demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.     

Robust stabilization of uncertain linear dynamical systems with time-varying delay

In this paper, the problem of the robust stabilization for a class of uncertain linear dynamical systems with time-varying delay is considered. By making use of an algebraic Riccati equation, we derive some sufficient conditions for robust stability of time-varying delay dynamical systems with unstructured or structured uncertainties. In our approach, the only restriction on the delay functionh(t) is the knowledge of its upper boundh ^–. Some analytical methods are employed to investigate these stability conditions. Since these conditions are independent of the delay, our results are also applicable to systems with perturbed time delay. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the use of the sufficient conditions developed in this paper.     

Adaptive robust synchronization of Rossler systems in the presence of unknown matched time-varying parameters

This paper deals with the problem of adaptive robust synchronization of chaotic systems based on the Lyapunov theory. A controller is designed for a feedback linearizable error system with matched uncertainties. The proposed method shows that the drive and response systems are synchronized and states of the response system track the states of the drive system as time tends to infinity. Since this approach does not require any information about the bound of uncertainties, this information is not needed in advance. In order to prevent the frequent switching phenomenon in the control signal, the method is modified such that the norm of tracking error is bounded. Numerical simulations on two uncertain Rossler systems with matched uncertainties show fast responses of tracking error, while the errors are Uniformly Ultimately Bounded, and the control signal is reasonably smooth.
