Finite time stabilization of chaotic systems via single input

In this Letter, we propose a single control input approach for stabilizing three-dimensional chaotic systems in a finite time. The method is more general and is derived from the finite-time stability theory and adaptive control technique; and can stabilize almost all well-known three-dimensional chaotic systems without a prior knowledge of the feedback gain. To show the wider applicability of our method, we give illustrations using different chaotic systems with different structure. Numerical simulations are also used to verify the effectiveness of the technique.     

Finite-time synchronization for a class of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems via adaptive feedback controller

This Letter investigates chaos synchronization of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. Based on finite-time stability theory, a simple adaptive control method for realizing chaos synchronization in a finite time is proposed. In comparison with previous methods, the present method is not only simple, but could also be easily utilized in application. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed approach.     

Finite-time control of chaotic systems with nonlinear inputs

A finite-time controller is designed for a class of nonlinear systems subject to sector nonlinear inputs. A novel and simple approach is suggested based on the finite-time control principle. The designed sliding-mode controller can drive a chaotic system to track a smooth target signal in a finite time. The chaotic Duffing--Holmes oscillator is used for verification and demonstration.     

Finite-time blow-up in dynamical systems

A new method to detect finite-time blow-up in systems of ordinary differential equations is presented. This simple algorithmic procedure is based on the analysis of singularities in complex time and amounts to checking the real-valuedness of the leading order term in the asymptotic series describing the behavior of the general solution around movable singularities. Illustrative examples and an application to a magneto-hydrodynamic problem are given.     

Finite-time sliding mode synchronization of chaotic systems

A new finite-time sliding mode control approach is presented for synchronizing two different topological structure chaotic systems. With the help of the Lyapunov method, the convergence property of the proposed control strategy is discussed in a rigorous manner. Furthermore, it is mathematically proved that our control strategy has a faster convergence speed than the conventional finite-time sliding mode control scheme. In addition, the proposed control strategy can ensure the finite-time synchronization between the master and the slave chaotic systems under internal uncertainties and external disturbances. Simulation results are provided to show the speediness and robustness of the proposed scheme. It is worth noticing that the proposed control scheme is applicable for secure communications.     

Adaptive control of chaotic systems based on a single layer neural network

This Letter presents an adaptive neural network control method for the chaos control problem. Based on a single layer neural network, the dynamic about the unstable fixed period point of the chaotic system can be adaptively identified without detailed information about the chaotic system. And the controlled chaotic system can be stabilized on the unstable fixed period orbit. Simulation results of Henon map and Lorenz system verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

On a recursive method for the estimation of unknown parameters of partially observed chaotic systems

We investigate a recently proposed method for on-line parameter estimation and synchronization in chaotic systems. This novel technique has been shown effective to estimate a single unknown parameter of a primary chaotic system with known functional form that is only partially observed through a scalar time series. It works by periodically updating the parameter of interest in a secondary system, with the same functional form as the primary one but no explicit coupling between their dynamic variables, in order to minimize a suitably defined cost function. In this paper, we review the basics of the method, and investigate its robustness and new extensions. In particular, we study the performance of the novel technique in the presence of noise (either observational, i.e., an additive contamination of the observed time series, or dynamical, i.e., a random perturbation of the system dynamics) and when there is a mismatch between the primary and secondary systems. Numerical results, including comparisons with other techniques, are presented. Finally, we investigate the extension of the original method to perform the estimation of two unknown parameters and illustrate its effectiveness by means of computer simulations.     

Chaos synchronization of unified chaotic systems via LMI

This Letter focuses on the master-slave synchronization problem of the unified chaotic systems. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation, a simple linear feedback control law is obtained to make the state of two identical unified chaotic systems asymptotically synchronized. Simulation results have illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization solution.     

Controlling fractional order chaotic systems based on Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model and adaptive adjustment mechanism

In this Letter, a kind of novel model, called the generalized Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model, is first developed by extending the conventional T-S fuzzy model. Then, a simple but efficient method to control fractional order chaotic systems is proposed using the generalized T-S fuzzy model and adaptive adjustment mechanism (AAM). Sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee chaos control from the stability criterion of linear fractional order systems. The proposed approach offers a systematic design procedure for stabilizing a large class of fractional order chaotic systems from the literature about chaos research. The effectiveness of the approach is tested on fractional order Rössler system and fractional order Lorenz system.     

Control of chaotic systems using targeting by extended control regions method

In this work, the previously proposed extended control regions (ECR) algorithm for targeting is improved by using individual neural networks for each activation region. The improved version, which exploits the short time predictability of the chaotic system more efficiently, gives better performance with respect to training time and average reaching time while maintaining the advantages of the previous method. Moreover, the simulation results revealed that the meaningful number of activation regions of the controller using improved ECR is nearly linearly related with the prediction horizon of the chaotic system to be targeted, which can be used as a criterion for choosing the number of activation region.

Effect of noise on coupled chaotic systems

The effect of noise in inducing order on various chaotically evolving systems is reviewed, with special emphasis on systems consisting of coupled chaotic elements. In many situations it is observed that the uncoupled elements when driven by identical noise, show synchronization phenomena where chaotic trajectories exponentially converge towards a single noisy trajectory, independent of the initial conditions. In a random neural network, with infinite range coupling, chaos is suppressed due to noise and the system evolves towards a fixed point. Spatiotemporal stochastic resonance phenomenon has been observed in a square array of coupled threshold devices where a temporal characteristic of the system resonates at a given noise strength. In a chaotically evolving coupled map lattice with the logistic map as local dynamics and driven by identical noise at each site, we report that the number ofstructures (a structure is a group of neighbouring lattice sites for values of the variable follow which the certain predefined pattern) follows a power-law decay with the length of the structure. An interesting phenomenon, which we callstochastic coherence, is also reported in which the abundance and lifetimes of these structures show characteristic peaks at some intermediate noise strength.
