Abstract

We obtain the lag, anticipated, and complete hybrid projective synchronization control (LACHPS) of dynamical systems to study the chaotic attractors and control problem of the chaotic systems. For illustration, we take the Colpitts oscillators as an example to achieve the analytical expressions of control functions. Numerical simulations are used to show the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

1. Introduction

Chaotic control and the structure of chaotic systems have attracted much attention in nonlinear sciences, especially in physics, chemistry, and biology. Different types of the structure and control method have been found in a variety of chaotic systems, such as constructing method [110], adaptive method [11], projective-Lag synchronization method [1215], backstepping method [16], Q-S synchronization method [1720], and many others.

At the same time, many different types of synchronization in chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems were presented, for example, complete synchronization, generalized synchronization, phase synchronization, antisynchronization, general projective synchronization, lag synchronization, and anticipate synchronization, and so on.

To two dynamical systems, consider a full state hybrid projective synchronization (FSHPS) method [21], where the responses of the synchronized dynamical states synchronize up to a constant scaling matrix. In this paper, based on the Lyapunov stability theory, we propose a scheme of lag, anticipated, and complete hybrid projective synchronization control (LACHPS). In this method, every state variable of master system synchronizes other incompatible state variables of slave system; particularly, for oscillators, two different designs are shown.

When and are the state vectors of two -dimensional chaotic systems. These two systems are completely synchronized [22] if the synchronization error as . AS [23] is defined when the error as . PS [24] is a situation in which the state vectors and synchronize up to a constant factor (i.e. as . MPS [25] is defined if the state vectors of two systems synchronize up to a constant scaling matrix which means that as . LS [13] implies that the state variables of the two coupled chaotic systems become synchronized but with a time lag with respect to each other; that is, as , where is the positive time lag. PLS has been introduced recently in [15, 2628] as as , where is a constant scaling factor. Synchronization can be addressed as a stabilization problem. This means that the trajectories of the synchronization error have to be stabilized at the origin.

In realistic and engineering applications, LS and PLS always affect the dynamical behaviors of chaotic systems. For example, in the telephone communication system, the voice one hears on the receiver side at time is the voice from the transmitter side at time . LS and PLS have been recently studied on systems described in [15, 2830]. For more details about chaotic control see [3138] and for the elements of the cyclicity theory of planar systems see [3941]. Our goal in this paper is to introduce and investigate the lag, anticipated, and complete hybrid projective synchronization control (LACHPS) of two -dimensional nonlinear systems.

Definition 1. For -dimensional master and slave nonlinear systems as , , where , , is a controller to be determined later. The LACHPS is defined if the synchronization error , where and are the state vectors of two systems, the matrixes and are defined as and , or a “scaling function matrix” , and is the time lag or anticipated. It is said that the master system and slave system are globally (i) lag hybrid projective synchronization control (,   is called the synchronization lag); (ii) hybrid complete projective synchronization control (); and (iii) anticipated hybrid projective synchronization control (,   is called the synchronization anticipation).

We remark that the above-mentioned types of synchronization are special cases of our definition. Table 1 illustrates these types of synchronization.

In order to show the results of LACHPS of two nonlinear systems, we choose the chaotic Colpitts oscillators as an example.

This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we show the general scheme description and theorem. In Sections 3 and 4, the Colpitts oscillator as a example is shown via applications of the LACHPS control method and cascade method. And numerical simulations are used to show the effectiveness. Finally, conclusions are drawn.

2. The Extended Control Method and the Main Results

In this section, the extended hybrid projective control method is designed to achieve synchronization control based on [4249] method. Consider the master system in the form of where , is an constant matrix, and is a nonlinear function. Assume that the slave system coupled with (1) is as follows: where , and is a controller to be determined later. Denote and or a scaling function matrix. If , , these two chaotic systems can be controlled via the LACHPS.

Proposition 2. When the matrices and are two invertible diagonal function matrices; lag, anticipated, and complete hybrid projective synchronization between the two systems (1) and (2) will occur, if the following conditions are satisfied:(i)where , and ;(ii)the real parts of all the eigenvalues of are negative.

Proof. According to in definition of LACHPS, one can get We solve the above equation , and Because the real parts of all the eigenvalues of are negative, if . Namely, . For a feasible control, the feedback must be selected such that all the eigenvalues of , if any, have negative real parts. Thus, if the matrix is in full rank, the system is asymptotically stable at the origin, which implies that (1) and (2) are in the state of LACHPS control.

Proposition 3. Let a constant matrix and a diagonal function matrix ; lag, anticipated, and complete hybrid projective synchronization between the two systems (1) and (2) will occur, if the following conditions are satisfied:(i)where , , and ;(ii)the real parts of all the eigenvalues of are negative.

Similar to the way of Theorem 5, the proof of Proposition 3 is straightforward in Appendix.

Proposition 4. Let a diagonal function matrix and a constant matrix ; the extended hybrid projective synchronization control between the two systems (1) and (2) will occur, if the following conditions are satisfied:(i)where , , and ;(ii)The real parts of all the eigenvalues of are negative.

Similar to the way of the Proposition 2, the proof of Proposition 4 is straightforward in Appendix.

In order to choose a suitable control law or a vector function , and is asymptotically stable, we give the following theorem such that systems (1) and (2) are in the state of LACHPS control.

Theorem 5. If the conditions are satisfied , lag, anticipated, and complete hybrid projective synchronization between the two systems (1) and (2) can be achieved, where , are real symmetric positive definite matrix, , stands for conjugate transpose of a matrix.

Proof. According to in definition of LACHPS, one can get If is one of the eigenvalues of matrix and the corresponding nonzero eigenvector is , Multiplying the above equation left by , we obtain Similarly, we also can derive that From the above two equations, we can obtain Since , and and are real symmetric positive definite matrix, According to the stability theory, the system is asymptotically stable at the origin.

Remark 6. If we rewrite (2) as we can obtain the following results.(1)Let two invertible diagonal function matrix and ; lag, anticipated, and complete hybrid projective synchronization between the two systems (1) and (2) will occur, if the following conditions are satisfied:(i) where , , , and .(2)Let a constant matrix and a diagonal function matrix ; lag, anticipated, and complete hybrid projective synchronization between the two systems (1) and (2) will occur, if the following conditions are satisfied:(ii) where , , , and .(3)Let a diagonal function matrix and a constant matrix ; lag, anticipated, and complete hybrid projective synchronization between the two systems (1) and (2) will occur, if the following conditions are satisfied:(iii) where , , and .(iv)The real parts of all the eigenvalues of are negative with Cases 13.

3. Applications of the LACHPS Control Method

Now, we introduce the following nonlinear system: where , , , and are real constants, if ,  , , and , the simulation results of system (18) with the initial conditions . System (18) has chaotic attractor as shown in Figures 1 and 2. System (18) temporal evolution of the state variables is shown in Figure 3. For more detailed dynamical properties of system (2), the reader should refer to [50].

In the following, we rewrite the chaotic system (18) as a master system: and the system related to (20), given by as a slave system, where the subscripts “” and “” stand for the master system and slave system, respectively. Let the error state be Then from (18) and (19), we obtain the error system

To the LACHPS synchronization control between systems (18) and (19), we have the following theorem.

Proposition 7. For the chaotic Colpitts oscillator (18), if one of the following feedback controllers is chosen for the slave system (19) where , , , , and and are real, then the zero solution of the error system (21) is globally stable, and thus (i) globally lag synchronization for , (ii) anticipated synchronization for , and (iii) complete synchronization for occur between the master system (18) and the slave system (19).

Proof. Similar to the way of Propositions 24, the proof of Proposition 7 is straightforward and we omit the detail steps. We give another proof method via Lyapunov function in the following.
Consider the controller (22) and choose the following quadratic form, positive definite of Lyapunov function: which implies that and thus , . Differentiating along the trajectory of system (21) yields
We put , , and into (25) and then simplify and yield where . Then using Lemma 1 [20], we have the estimation Namely, if , , and , which implies that the conclusion is true. Similarly, for the controllers (23), we can still use the method to obtain the estimation.

Remark 8. (1) The nonlinear feedback controllers can be used to simultaneously obtain (i) hybrid lag synchronization for , (ii) hybrid anticipated synchronization for , and (iii) hybrid complete synchronization for between the master system (19) and the slave system (20).
(2) Although the above-obtained feedback controllers are nonlinear, they are simpler than those of the so-called natural control controllers, which are derived by using with a simple stable matrix and for the master system (19) and the slave system (20).

In the following, we obtain the numerical simulations results to prove the effective control. Numerical simulations results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization methods. The parameters are chosen to be in all simulations so that the chaotic system exhibits a chaotic behavior if no control is applied. The initial value is taken as the random number and . The parameters .

Case 1. Hybrid complete projective control: in the case , without loss of generality, the initial values of the error dynamical system (21) are , , and . The dynamics of hybrid complete control errors for the master system (19) and the slave system (20) is displayed in Figures 4, 5, and 6. Figure 4 shows the chaotic attractors of the master and slave systems with different initial values in the same coordinate. Figures 5(a)5(c) show the evolutions of the error functions , , and . Figures 6(a)6(c) the solutions of the master and slave systems with control law.

Case 2. Hybrid lag projective control: in the case , without loss of generality, we set . Thus the initial values of the error dynamical system (21) are ,  , and . For simplification, we only give the dynamics of the evolutions of hybrid lag control errors for the master system (19) and the slave system (20) displayed in Figure 7.

Case 3. Hybrid anticipated projective control: in the case , without loss of generality, we set . Thus the initial values of the error dynamical system (21) are , , and . For simplification, we only give the dynamics of the evolutions of hybrid lag control errors for the master system (19) and the slave system (20) as displayed in Figure 8.

4. Applications of the LACHPS Control Method via Cascade Control Idea

In the section, based on the idea of cascade approach [42, 50, 51], we achieve the effectiveness control idea.

Firstly, we take the system (18) as master system. The slave system is given by where is external control functions that is to be designed below.

Let the error states functions of systems (18) and (29) as follows: where ,  , and is the time lag or anticipated. The goal of the control is to find a controller such that the states of the master system (18) and the states of the slave system (29) are globally synchronized asymptotically; that is,

Let us define the Lyapunov functions as If the Lyapunov function (32) satisfies the conditions then will asymptotically tend to zero and With the aid of Maple and we omit the details by the aid of Maple soft, we choose then (18) and (29) will be satisfied. Next we take (29) as the master system, and the slave one is as follows: where is a desired controller.

The relevant Lyapunov function can be chosen as where , , , , and is the time lag or anticipated. We take , as which make and approach to zero when . Therefor the LACHPS is achieved for the systems (29) and (36) via cascade method.

For simplicity and illustration, the parameters , , , , we consider and the initial values . We may only choose ; other cases are similar. Figure 9 shows the LACHPS via cascade method for the system (18). And Figures 10(a)10(c) show the numeric simulations of the error functions , , and .

5. Conclusion

A nonlinear controller has been proposed to achieve lag, anticipated, and complete projective synchronization of chaotic systems. The proposed synchronization is simple and theoretically rigorous. Colpitts oscillators are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme. It should be note that lag synchronization control, anticipated synchronization control, and complete synchronization control. Therefore, the results of this paper are more applicable and representative.
