Abstract

An adaptive control scheme is developed to study the generalized adaptive chaos synchronization with uncertain chaotic parameters behavior between two identical chaotic dynamic systems. This generalized adaptive chaos synchronization controller is designed based on Lyapunov stability theory and an analytic expression of the adaptive controller with its update laws of uncertain chaotic parameters is shown. The generalized adaptive synchronization with uncertain parameters between two identical new Lorenz-Stenflo systems is taken as three examples to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. The numerical simulations are shown to verify the results.

1. Introduction

The chaos synchronization phenomenon has the following feature: the trajectories of the master and the slave chaotic system are identical in spite of starting from different initial conditions or different nonlinear dynamic system. However, slight differentiations of initial conditions, for chaotic dynamical systems, will lead to completely different trajectories [114]. The issue may be treated as the control law design for observer of slave chaotic system using the master chaotic system so as to ensure that the controlled receiver synchronizes with the master chaotic system. Hence, the slave chaotic system completely traces the dynamics of the master chaotic system in the course of time [1519]. The key technique of chaos synchronization for secret communication has been widely investigated. Until now, a wide variety of approaches have been proposed for control and synchronization of chaotic systems, such as adaptive control [20, 21], backstepping control [2225], sliding mode control [2628], and fuzzy control [2931], just to name a few. The forenamed strategies and many other existing skills of synchronization mainly concern the chaos synchronization of two identical chaotic systems with known parameters or identical unknown parameters [3238].

Among many kinds of chaos synchronizations, the generalized synchronization is widely studied. This means that there exists a given functional relationship between the states of the master system and that of the slave system . In this paper, a new generalized synchronization with uncertain parameters, is studied, where , are the state vectors of the master and slave system, respectively, and the is uncertain chaotic parameters in . The may be given a regular/chaotic dynamical system.

The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, by the Lyapunov asymptotic stability theorem, the generalized synchronization with uncertain chaotic parameters by adaptive control scheme is given. In Section 3, various adaptive controllers and update laws are designed for the generalized synchronization with uncertain parameters of the identical Lorenz-Stenflo systems. The numerical simulation of three examples is also given in Section 3. Finally, some concluding remarks are given in Section 4.

2. Generalized Adaptive Synchronization with Uncertain Parameters Scheme

Consider the master system and the slave system where , denote the master states vector and slave states vector, respectively, the is nonlinear vector functions, the is uncertain chaotic parameters in , the is estimates of uncertain chaotic parameters in , and the is adaptive control vector.

Our goal is to design a controller and an adaptive law so that the state vector of the slave system equation (3) asymptotically approaches the state vector of the master system equation (2) plus a given vector regular/chaotic function , and finally the generalized adaptive synchronization with uncertain parameters will be accomplished in the sense that the limit of the states error vector and parameters error vector approaches zero:where , and , .

Since the Lyapunov function is positive definite and its derivative is negative definite in the neighborhood of the zero solutions for (12a) and (12b), according to the Lyapunov stability theory, the zero solutions of error states dynamic and parameters error vector are asymptotically stable; namely, the slave system equation (11) can asymptotically converge to its master system equation (10) with the adaptive control law equation (18) and the estimation parameter update law equation (17). The adaptive synchronization concept proof had to be completed. The numerical simulation results are shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4.

Since the Lyapunov function is positive definite and its derivative is negative definite in the neighborhood of the zero solutions for (12a) and (12b), according to the Lyapunov stability theory, the zero solutions of error states dynamic and parameters error vector are asymptotically stable; namely, the slave system equation (11) can asymptotically converge to its master system equation (10) with the adaptive control law equation (36) and the estimation parameter update law equation (37). The generalized adaptive synchronization with uncertain parameters concept proof had to be completed. The numerical simulation results are shown in Figures 8, 9, 10, and 11.
