Robust synchronization of a class of uncertain chaotic systems based on quadratic optimal theory and adaptive strategy

This paper presents a chaos synchronization method for a class of uncertain chaotic systems using the combination of an optimal control theory and an adaptive strategy. A quadratic optimal regulator and an adaptive control are used to represent the controller's structure. The asymptotic stability of the corresponding error dynamical system is guaranteed through Lyapunov stability analysis. The proposed controller is employed in two uncertain chaotic Lu systems, and their promising performances are illustrated.
