Some new less conservative criteria for impulsive synchronization of a hyperchaotic Lorenz system based on small impulsive signals

In this Letter the issue of impulsive Synchronization of a hyperchaotic Lorenz system is developed. We propose an impulsive synchronization scheme of the hyperchaotic Lorenz system including chaotic systems. Some new and sufficient conditions on varying impulsive distances are established in order to guarantee the synchronizability of the systems using the synchronization method. In particular, some simple conditions are derived for synchronizing the systems by equal impulsive distances. The boundaries of the stable regions are also estimated. Simulation results show the proposed synchronization method to be effective. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Post-Double Hopf Bifurcation Dynamics and Adaptive Synchronization of a Hyperchaotic System

In this paper a four-dimensional hyperchaotic system with only one equilibrium is considered and its double Hopf bifurcations are investigated. The general post-bifurcation and stability analysis are carried out using the normal form of the system obtained via the method of multiple scales. The dynamics of the orbits predicted through the normal form comprises possible regimes of periodic solutions, two-period tori, and three-period tori in parameter space. Moreover, we show how the hyperchaotic synchronization of this system can be realized via an adaptive control scheme. Numerical simulations are included to show the effectiveness of the designed control

Hidden attractors in fundamental problems and engineering models

Recently a concept of self-excited and hidden attractors was suggested: an attractor is called a self-excited attractor if its basin of attraction overlaps with neighborhood of an equilibrium, otherwise it is called a hidden attractor. For example, hidden attractors are attractors in systems with no equilibria or with only one stable equilibrium (a special case of multistability and coexistence of attractors). While coexisting self-excited attractors can be found using the standard computational procedure, there is no standard way of predicting the existence or coexistence of hidden attractors in a system. In this plenary survey lecture the concept of self-excited and hidden attractors is discussed, and various corresponding examples of self-excited and hidden attractors are considered

On the impulsive synchronization control for a class of chaotic systems

The problem on chaos synchronization for a class of chaotic system is addressed. Based on impulsive control theory and by constructing a novel Lyapunov functional, new impulsive synchronization strategies are presented and possess more practical application value. Finally some typical numerical simulation examples are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results

Modified Projective Synchronization of Chaotic Systems with Noise Disturbance, an Active Nonlinear Control Method

The synchronization problem of chaotic systems using active modified projective nonlinear control method is rarely addressed. Thus the concentration of this study is to derive a modified projective controller to synchronize the two chaotic systems. Since, the parameter of the master and follower systems are considered known, so active methods are employed instead of adaptive methods. The validity of the proposed controller is studied by means of the Lyapunov stability theorem. Furthermore, some numerical simulations are shown to verify the validity of the theoretical discussions. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in both speed and accuracy points of views

Adaptive Hybrid Function Projective Synchronization of Chaotic Systems with Time-Varying Parameters

The adaptive hybrid function projective synchronization (AHFPS) of different chaotic systems with unknown time-varying parameters is investigated. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and adaptive bounding technique, the robust adaptive control law and the parameters update law are derived to make the states of two different chaotic systems asymptotically synchronized. In the control strategy, the parameters need not be known throughly if the time-varying parameters are bounded by the product of a known function of t and an unknown constant. In order to avoid the switching in the control signal, a modified robust adaptive synchronization approach with the leakage-like adaptation law is also proposed to guarantee the ultimately uni-formly boundedness (UUB) of synchronization errors. The schemes are successfully applied to the hybrid function projective synchronization between the Chen system and the Lorenz system and between hyperchaotic Chen system and generalized Lorenz system. Moreover, numerical simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme
