Distributed dynamic event-based finite-time dissipative synchronization control for semi-Markov switched fuzzy cyber-physical systems against random packet losses

This paper is concerned with the finite-time dissipative synchronization control problem of semi-Markov switched cyber-physical systems in the presence of packet losses, which is constructed by the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model. To save the network communication burden, a distributed dynamic event-triggered mechanism is developed to restrain the information update. Besides, random packet dropouts following the Bernoulli distribution are assumed to occur in sensor to controller channels, where the triggered control input is analyzed via an equivalent method containing a new stochastic variable. By establishing the mode-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional with augmented terms, the finite-time boundness of the error system limited to strict dissipativity is studied. As a result of the help of an extended reciprocally convex matrix inequality technique, less conservative criteria in terms of linear matrix inequalities are deduced to calculate the desired control gains. Finally, two examples in regard to practical systems are provided to display the effectiveness of the proposed theory.

Dynamics of erbium-doped fibre laser with optical delay feedback and chaotic synchronization

The dynamical behaviour of the erbium-doped fibre single-ring laser with an optical delay feedback is discussed. Simulation shows that as the delay rate increases, the lasing light displays period-doubling which leads to chaos and via reverse period-doubling route returns from chaos to periodic. At a particular delay rate the intermittently chaotic route to chaos is also observed. The identical synchronization based on chaos in this ring laser is demonstrated by numerical simulation.

Synchronization of chaotic systems with different orders

A controller is designed to realize the synchronization between chaotic systems with different orders. The structure of the controller, the error equations and the Lyapunov functions are determined based on stability theory. Hyperchaotic Chen system and Rossler system are taken for example to demonstrate the method to be effective and feasible. Simulation results show that all the state wriables of Rossler system can be synchronized with those of hyperchaotic Chen system by using only one controller, and the error signals approach zero smoothly and quickly.

Secure Impulsive Synchronization in Lipschitz-Type Multi-Agent Systems Subject to Deception Attacks

Cyber attacks pose severe threats on synchronization of multi-agent systems.Deception attack,as a typical type of cyber attack,can bypass the surveillance of the attack detection mechanism silently,resulting in a heavy loss.Therefore,the problem of mean-square bounded synchronization in multi-agent systems subject to deception attacks is investigated in this paper.The control signals can be replaced with false data from controllerto-actuator channels or the controller.The success of the attack is measured through a stochastic variable.A distributed impulsive controller using a pinning strategy is redesigned,which ensures that mean-square bounded synchronization is achieved in the presence of deception attacks.Some sufficient conditions are derived,in which upper bounds of the synchronization error are given.Finally,two numerical simulations with symmetric and asymmetric network topologies are given to illustrate the theoretical results.

Impulsive control of chaotic systems and its applications in synchronization

In this paper, some novel sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of impulsive control systems are presented by comparison systems. The results are used to obtain the conditions under which the chaotic systems can be asymptotically controlled to the origin via impulsive control. Compared with some existing results, our results are more relaxed in the sense that the Lyapunov function is required to be nonincreasing only along a subsequence of switchings. Moreover, a larger upper bound of impulsive intervals for stabilization and synchronization is obtained.

Complete synchronization between two bi-directionally coupled chaotic systems via an adaptive feedback controller

In this paper, we apply a simple adaptive feedback control scheme to synchronize two bi-directionally coupled chaotic systems. Based on the invariance principle of differential equations, sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic synchronization between two bi-directionally coupled chaotic systems via an adaptive feedback controller are given. Unlike other control schemes for bi-directionally coupled systems, this scheme is very simple to implement in practice and need not consider coupling terms. As examples, the autonomous hyperchaotic Chen systems and the new nonautonomous 4D systems are illustrated. Numerical simulations show that the proposed method is effective and robust against the effect of weak noise.

Modified impulsive synchronization of fractional order hyperchaotic systems

In this paper, a modified impulsive control scheme is proposed to realize the complete synchronization of fractional order hyperchaotic systems. By constructing a suitable response system, an integral order synchronization error system is obtained. Based on the theory of Lyapunov stability and the impulsive differential equations, some effective sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the asymptotical stability of the synchronization error system. In particular, some simpler and more convenient conditions are derived by taking the fixed impulsive distances and control gains. Compared with the existing results, the main results in this paper are practical and rigorous. Simulation results show the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed impulsive control method.

Chaos synchronization in injection-locked semiconductor lasers with optical feedback

Based on the rate equations, we have investigated three types of chaos synchronizations in injection-locked semiconductor lasers with optical feedback. Numerical simulation shows that the synchronization can be realized by the symmetric or asymmetric laser systems. Also, the influence of parameter mismatches on chaos synchronization is investigated, and the results imply that these two lasers can achieve good synchronization, with smaller tolerance of parameter mismatch existing.

Continuous-time chaotic systems: Arbitrary full-state hybrid projective synchronization via a scalar signal

Relerrlng to contlnuous-Ume claaotlc systems, tills paper presents a new projective syncnromzatlon scheme, wnlcn enables each drive system state to be synchronized with a linear combination of response system states for any arbitrary scaling matrix. The proposed method, based on a structural condition related to the uncontrollable eigenvalues of the error system, can be applied to a wide class of continuous-time chaotic （hyperchaotic） systems and represents a general framework that includes any type of synchronization defined to date. An example involving a hyperchaotic oscillator is reported, with the aim of showing how a response system attractor is arbitrarily shaped using a scalar synchronizing signal only. Finally, it is shown that the recently introduced dislocated synchronization can be readily achieved using the conceived scheme.

Synchronization of Chaotic Intensities and Phases in an Array of N Lasers

A linear array of N mutually coupled single-mode lasers is investigated. It is shown that the intensities of N lasers are chaotically synchronized when the coupling between lasers is relatively strong. The chaotic synchronization of intensities depends on the location of the lasers in the array. The chaotic synchronization appears between two outmost lasers, the second two outmost lasers, etc. There is no synchronization between nearest neighbors of the lasers. If the number of N is odd, the middle laser is never synchronized between any lasers. The chaotic synchronization of phases between nearest lasers in the array is examined by using the analytic signal and the Gaussian filter methods based on the peak of the power spectrum of the intensity. It can be seen that the message of chaotic intensity synchronization is conveyed through the phase synchronization.

A practical approach to robust impulsive lag synchronization between different chaotic systems

In this paper, a practical impulsive lag synchronization scheme for different chaotic systems with parametric uncertainties is proposed. By virtue of the new definition of synchronization and the theory of impulsive differential equations, some new and less conservative sufficient conditions are established to guarantee that the error dynamics can converge to a predetermined level. The idea and approach developed in this paper can provide a more practical framework for the synchronization between identical and different chaotic systems in parameter perturbation circumstances. Simulation results finally demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

H_∞ Synchronization of Chaotic Systems via Delayed Feedback Control

The H∞ synchronization problem for a class of delayed chaotic systems with external disturbance is investigated. A novel delayed feedback controller is established under which the chaotic master and slave systems are synchronized with a guaranteed H∞ performance. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, a delay-dependent condition is derived and formulated in the form of linear matrix inequality （LMI）. A numerical simulation is also presented to validate the effectiveness of the developed theoretical results.

A novel study on the impulsive synchronization of fractional-order chaotic systems

The stability of impulsive fractional-order systems is discussed. A new synchronization criterion of fractional-order chaotic systems is proposed based on the stability theory of impulsive fractional-order systems. The synchronization criterion is suitable for the case of the order 0 〈 q ≤ 1. It is more general than those of the known results. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization criterion.

Random shortcuts induce phase synchronization in complex Chua systems

P This paper studies how phase synchronization in complex networks depends on random shortcuts, using the uous chaotic Chua system as the nodes of the networks. It is found that for a given coupling strength when the number of random shortcuts is greater than a threshold the phase synchronization is induced. Phase synchronization becomes evident and reaches its maximum as the number of random shortcuts is further increased. These phenomena imply that random shortcuts can induce and enhance the phase synchronization in complex Chua systems. Furthermore, the paper also investigates the effects of the coupling strength and it is found that stronger coupling makes it easier to obtain the complete phase synchronization.

Robust lag synchronization between two different chaotic systems via dual-stage impulsive control

In this paper, an improved impulsive lag synchronization scheme for different chaotic systems with parametric uncertainties is proposed. Based on the new definition of synchronization with error bound and a novel impulsive control scheme （the so-called dual-stage impulsive control）, some new and less conservative sufficient conditions are established to guarantee that the error dynamics can converge to a predetermined level, which is more reasonable and rigorous than the existing results. In particular, some simpler and more convenient conditions are derived by taking the same impulsive distances and control gains. Finally, some numerical simulations for the Lorenz system and the Chen system are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

Lag Synchronization in Nonlinear Systems Based on Adaptive Control

Active control is an effective method for synchronizing two identical chaotic systems. However, this method works only for a certain class of chaotic systems with known parameters. An improvement method was proposed in order to overcome this limitation in this paper. A classical example was used to demonstrate the method. Finally, numerical examples were given to validate the efficiency of the method.

Laser-RF synchronization based on digital phase detector

Laser oscillator synchronization with RF reference signal is ultra-important for a modern light source based on the accelerator.For Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray source,we have synchronized the mode-locked laser oscillator to RF reference signal with 48.2 fs RMS relative jitter.Both fundamental and harmonic signals derived from photo diode detection are used for laser-RF synchronization in our scheme.The fundamental signal is for coarse laser-RF synchronization and multiple laser oscillator synchronization.The harmonic signal is for high precise phase locking.The digital phase detector is implemented in the synchronization scheme for less noise,replacing the mixing to DC phase detection scheme.The digital processing algorithm for synchronization is commonly used in low-level RF control field.In order to test the phase locking loop logic without damaging the real laser oscillator,a laser oscillator emulator was developed for phase locking.This paper will report the laser-RF synchronization scheme and its performance.The laser oscillator emulator system will also be introduced here.

Synchronous implementation of optoelectronic NOR and XNOR logic gates using parallel synchronization of three chaotic lasers

The parallel synchronization of three chaotic lasers is used to emulate optoelectronic logic NOR and XNOR gates via modulating the light and the current. We deduce a logical computational equation that governs the chaotic synchronization, logical input, and logical output. We construct fundamental gates based on the three chaotic lasers and define the computational principle depending on the parallel synchronization. The logic gate can be implemented by appropriately synchronizing two chaotic lasers. The system shows practicability and flexibility because it can emulate synchronously an XNOR gate, two NOR gates, and so on. The synchronization can still be deteceted when mismatches exist with a certain range.
