A novel mixed-synchronization phenomenon in coupled Chua's circuits via non-fragile linear control

Dynamical variables of coupled nonlinear oscillators can exhibit different synchronization patterns depending on the designed coupling scheme. In this paper, a non-fragile linear feedback control strategy with multiplicative controller gain uncertainties is proposed for realizing the mixed-synchronization of Chua＇s circuits connected in a drive-response configuration. In particular, in the mixed-synchronization regime, different state variables of the response system can evolve into complete synchronization, anti-synchronization and even amplitude death simultaneously with the drive variables for an appropriate choice of scaling matrix. Using Lyapunov stability theory, we derive some sufficient criteria for achieving global mixed-synchronization. It is shown that the desired non-fragile state feedback controller can be constructed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. Numerical simulations are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.

Adaptive fuzzy controller for a class of strict-feedback nonaffine nonlinear systems

A robust adaptive fuzzy control scheme is presented for a class of strict-feedback nonaffine nonlinear systems with modeling uncertainties and external disturbances by using a backstepping approach.Fuzzy logic systems are employed to approximate the unknown parts of the desired virtual controls,and the approximation errors of fuzzy systems are only required to be norm-bounded.The function tanh（·） is introduced to avoid problems associated with sgn（·）.The tracking error is guaranteed to be uniformly ultimately bounded with the aid of an additional adaptive compensation term.Chua＇s circuit system and R o¨ssler system are presented to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control technique.

Stability and boundary equilibrium bifurcations of modified Chua's circuit with smooth degree of 3

Chua＇s circuit is a well-known nonlinear electronic model, having complicated nonsmooth dynamic behaviors. The stability and boundary equilibrium bifurcations for a modified Chua＇s circuit system with the smooth degree of 3 are studied. The parametric areas of stability are specified in detail. It is found that the bifurcation graphs of the su- percritical and irregular pitchfork bifurcations are similar to those of the piecewise-smooth continuous （PWSC） systems caused by piecewise smoothness. However, the bifurcation graph of the supercritical Hopf bifurcation is similar to those of smooth systems. There- fore, the boundary equilibrium bifurcations of the non-smooth systems with the smooth degree of 3 should receive more attention due to their special features.

Synchronising chaotic Chua's circuit using switching feedback control based on piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions

This paper investigates the chaos synchronisation between two coupled chaotic Chua＇s circuits. The sufficient condition presented by linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） of global asymptotic synchronisation is attained based on piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions. First, we obtain the piecewise linear differential inclusions （pwLDIs） model of synchronisation error dynamics, then we design a switching （piecewise-linear） feedback control law to stabilise it based on the piecewise quadratic Laypunov functions. Then we give some numerical simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

Impulsive stabilization of a class of nonlinear system with bounded gain error

Considering mechanical limitation or device restriction in practical application, this paper investigates impulsive stabilization of nonlinear systems with impulsive gain error. Compared with the existing impulsive analytical approaches,the proposed impulsive control method is more practically applicable, which includes control gain error with an acceptable boundary. A sufficient criterion for global exponential stability of an impulsive control system is derived, which relaxes the condition for precise impulsive gain efficiently. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation based on Chua＇s circuit.

Controllability of fractional-order Chua's circuit

The ultimate proof of our understanding of nature and engineering systems is reflected in our ability to control them.Since fractional calculus is more universal, we bring attention to the controllability of fractional order systems. First,we extend the conventional controllability theorem to the fractional domain. Strictly mathematical analysis and proof are presented. Because Chua＇s circuit is a typical representative of nonlinear circuits, we study the controllability of the fractional order Chua＇s circuit in detail using the presented theorem. Numerical simulations and theoretical analysis are both presented, which are in agreement with each other.

Study on eigenvalue space of hyperchaotic canonical four-dimensional Chua's circuit

The eigenvalue space of the canonical four-dimensional Chua＇s circuit which can realize every eigenvalue for fourdimensional system is studied in this paper. First, the analytical relations between the circuit parameters and the eigenvalues of the system are established, and therefore all the circuit parameters can be determined explicitly by any given set of eigenvalues. Then, the eigenvalue space of the circuit is investigated in two cases by the nonlinear elements used. According to the types of the eigenvalues, some novel hyperchaotic attractors are presented. Further, the dynamic behaviours of the circuit are studied by the bifurcation diagrams and the Lyapunov spectra of the eigenvalues.

Chaotic behavior learning of Chua's circuit

Least-square support vector machines（LS-SVM） are applied for learning the chaotic behavior of Chua＇s circuit.The system is divided into three multiple-input single-output（MISO） structures and the LS-SVM are trained individually.Comparing with classical approaches,the proposed one reduces the structural complexity and the selection of parameters is avoided.Some parameters of the attractor are used to compare the chaotic behavior of the reconstructed and the original systems for model validation.Results show that the LS-SVM combined with the MISO can be trained to identify the underlying link among Chua＇s circuit state variables,and exhibit the chaotic attractors under the autonomous working mode.

Designing Chaotic Mathematical Circuits for Solving Practical Problems

We introduce the paradigm of chaotic mathematical circuitry which shows some similarity to the paradigm of electronic circuitry, especially in the frame of chaotic attractors for solving practical problems(generating hyperchaos; developing chaos based pseudo random number generator(CPRNG) and chaotic multistream PRNG; secure communication via synchronization). They can also be used in cryptography, generic algorithms in optimization, control, etc.

Application research on the chaos synchro-nization self-maintenance characteristic to secret communication

Chua＇s circuit, which is improved to integrate conveniently, is presented. A drive-response chaotic synchronization system is constructed, which possesses a certain stability, resisting-disturbance, and so on. By means of research, it can be concluded that the chaotic synchronization system is provided with the characteristic of chaos synchronization self-maintenance. Utilizing the characteristic, the critical problem of how to simultaneously transmit the controlling signal of chaotic synchronization and the secret signal at a channel can be solved, and that a practical experiment validates the method; as a result, the research in the paper provides the foundation of putting chaos into practice application to secret communication.
