Suppression and synchronization of chaos in uncertain time-delay physical system

The mechanical horizontal platform(MHP)system exhibits a rich chaotic behavior.The chaotic MHP system has applications in the earthquake and offshore industries.This article proposes a robust adaptive continuous control(RACC)algorithm.It investigates the control and synchronization of chaos in the uncertain MHP system with time-delay in the presence of unknown state-dependent and time-dependent disturbances.The closed-loop system contains most of the nonlinear terms that enhance the complexity of the dynamical system;it improves the efficiency of the closed-loop.The proposed RACC approach(a)accomplishes faster convergence of the perturbed state variables(synchronization errors)to the desired steady-state,(b)eradicates the effect of unknown state-dependent and time-dependent disturbances,and(c)suppresses undesirable chattering in the feedback control inputs.This paper describes a detailed closed-loop stability analysis based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional theory and Lyapunov stability technique.It provides parameter adaptation laws that confirm the convergence of the uncertain parameters to some constant values.The computer simulation results endorse the theoretical findings and provide a comparative performance.

On-Off Intermittency Route to Chaos Synchronization and Spatial Periodic Synchronization of Chaos in Coupled Arrays of Chaotic Systems

Chaos synchronization of coupled nonlinear systems is ubiquitous in nature and science. Dynamic behaviors of coupled ring and linear arrays of unidirectionally coupled Lorenz oscillators are studied numerically. We find that chaos synchronization in circular arrays of chaotic systems can occur through the on off intermittent synchronization with a power law distribution of laminar phases. And in the coupled ring and linear array it is found that the chaotic rotating waves generated from the ring propagate with spatial periodic synchronization along the linear array.

Generalized chaos synchronization of a weighted complex network with different nodes

This paper proposes a method of realizing generalized chaos synchronization of a weighted complex network with different nodes. Chaotic systems with diverse structures are taken as the nodes of the complex dynamical network, the nonlinear terms of the systems are taken as coupling functions, and the relations among the nodes are built through weighted connections. The structure of the coupling functions between the connected nodes is obtained based on Lyapunov stability theory. A complex network with nodes of Lorenz system, Coullet system, RSssler system and the New system is taken as an example for simulation study and the results show that generalized chaos synchronization exists in the whole weighted complex network with different nodes when the coupling strength among the nodes is given with any weight value. The method can be used in realizing generalized chaos synchronization of a weighted complex network with different nodes. Furthermore, both the weight value of the coupling strength among the nodes and the number of the nodes have no effect on the stability of synchronization in the whole complex network.

Using the properties of chaos synchronization, the method for estimating the largest Lyapunov exponent in a multibody system with dry friction is presented in this paper. The Lagrange equations with multipliers of the systems are given in matrix form, which is adequate for numerical calculation. The approach for calculating the generalized velocity and acceleration of the slider is given to determine slipping or sticking of the slider in the systems. For slip-slip and stick-slip multibody systems, their largest Lyapunov exponents are calculated to characterize their dynamics.

Synchronization of chaos in resistive-capacitive-inductive shunted Josephson junctions

We present a scheme for chaotic synchronization in two resistive- capacitive-inductive shunted Josephson junctions （RCLSJJs） by using another chaotic RCLSJJ as a driving system. Numerical simulations show that whether the two RCLSJJs are chaotic or not before being driven, they can realize chaotic synchronization with a suitable driving intensity, under which the maximum condition Lyapunov exponent （MCLE） is negative. On the other hand, if the driving system is in different periodic states or chaotic states, the two driven RCLSJJs can be controlled into the periodic states with different period numbers or chaotic states but still maintain the synchronization.

A novel robust proportional-integral (PI) adaptive observer design for chaos synchronization

In this paper, chaos synchronization in the presence of parameter uncertainty, observer gain perturbation and exogenous input disturbance is considered. A nonlinear non-fragile proportional-integral （PI） adaptive observer is designed for the synchronization of chaotic systems; its stability conditions based on the Lyapunov technique are derived. The observer proportional and integral gains, by converting the conditions into linear matrix inequality （LMI）, are optimally selected from solutions that satisfy the observer stability conditions such that the effect of disturbance on the synchronization error becomes minimized. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulation results for the synchronization of a Lorenz chaotic system with unknown parameters in the presence of an exogenous input disturbance and abrupt gain perturbation are reported.

Synchronization of chaos using radial basis functions neural networks

The Radial Basis Functions Neural Network （RBFNN） is used to establish the model of a response system through the input and output data of the system. The synchronization between a drive system and the response system can be implemented by employing the RBFNN model and state feedback control. In this case, the exact mathematical model, which is the precondition for the conventional method, is unnecessary for implementing synchronization. The effect of the model error is investigated and a corresponding theorem is developed. The effect of the parameter perturbations and the measurement noise is investigated through simulations. The simulation results under different conditions show the effectiveness of the method.

Hyperchaos behaviors and chaos synchronization of two unidirectional coupled simplified Lorenz systems

To design a hyperchaotic generator and apply chaos into secure communication, a linear unidirectional coupling control is applied to two identical simplified Lorenz systems. The dynamical evolution process of the coupled system is investigated with variations of the system parameter and coupling coefficients. Particularly, the influence of coupling strength on dynamics of the coupled system is analyzed in detail. The range of the coupling strength in which the coupled system can generate hyperchaos or realize synchronization is determined, including phase portraits, Lyapunov exponents, and Poincare section. And the critical value of the system parameter between hyperchaos and synchronization is also found with fixed coupled strength. In addition, abundant dynamical behaviors such as four-wing hyperchaotic, two-wing chaotic, single-wing coexisting attractors and periodic orbits are observed and chaos synchronization error curves are also drawn by varying system parameter c. Numerical simulations are implemented to verify the results of these investigations.

Encoding-decoding message for secure communication based on adaptive chaos synchronization

In this paper, based on an adaptive chaos synchronization scheme, two methods of encoding-decoding message for secure communication are proposed. With the first method, message is directly added to the chaotic signal with parameter uncertainty. In the second method, multi-parameter modulation is used to simultaneously transmit more than one digital message （i.e., the multichannel digital communication） through just a single signal, which switches among various chaotic attractors that differ only subtly. In theory, such a treatment increases the difficulty for the intruder to directly intercept the information, and meanwhile the implementation cost decreases significantly. In addition, numerical results show the methods are robust against weak noise, which implies their practicability.

A Non-symmetric Digital Image Secure Communication Scheme Based on Generalized Chaos Synchronization System

Based on a generalized chaos synchronization system and a discrete Sinai map, a non-symmetric true color （RGB） digital image secure communication scheme is proposed. The scheme first changes an ordinary RGB digital image with 8 bits into unrecognizable disorder codes and then transforms the disorder codes into an RGB digital image with 16 bits for transmitting. A receiver uses a non-symmetric key to verify the authentication of the received data origin, and decrypts the ciphertext. The scheme can encrypt and decz：Fpt most formatted digital RGB images recognized by computers, and recover the plaintext almost without any errors. The scheme is suitable to be applied in network image communications. The analysis of the key space, sensitivity of key parameters, and correlation of encrypted images imply that this scheme has sound security.

Simulation study is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme.

A Secret Sharing Featured Secure Communication System Based on Dual Synchronization of Chaos in Colpitts Circuits

A novel digital secure communication system employing dual synchronization of chaos in two pairs of Colpitts circuits is proposed. The binary information to be transmitted is firstly modulated by digital modulation scheme, and then mixed together with two chaotic waveforms generated by two Colpitts circuits with different circuit parameters. Thus the combined （and encrypted） signal is transmitted through an additive white Gauss noise （AWGN） channel. In the receiver, the binary message can he recovered only when the parameters of the two Colpitts circuits are known. If the parameters of the two Colpitts circuits are owned by two different users, this can be viewed as a （2,2） threshold scheme. Based on large amount of simulations, the bit error rate （BER） performance of this communication scheme is presented.

BACKSTEPPING-BASED ADAPTIVE CONTROL AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF CHAOTIC SYSTEMS

Backstepping method is applied to the problems of synchronization for chaotic systems. Synchronization controller is designed via selecting a series of Lyapunov functions on the basis of recursive idea. The method is systematic and can deal with a class of chaotic system′s synchronization problems, which are important in safe communication with chaotic signal. Due to the nature of backstepping method, the designed controller possesses perfect robustness and adaptation. As an example, the controller based on backstepping method is employed to synchronize Lorenz system. The numerical simulation illustrates that the method is effective. Compared with the linear feedback synchronization controller, the control law can stabilize synchronization systems at a smaller synchronization error. Therefore the controller has a good performance.
