In this work we investigate the dynamical behaviors of Van der Pol-Duffing circuit (ADVP) with parallel resistor. The model is described by a continuous-time three dimensional autonomous system. The stability conditions of the equilibria are analyzed. The existence of periodic solutions and their stabilities about the node equilibrium point of the system are studied by using Hopf's theorem and Hsü and Kazarinoff theorem. Lyapunov spectrum is calculated for the proposed system. Adaptive synchronization using backstepping design is applied successfully to the system. Chaotic behaviors and the efficiency of the synchronization method are verified by numerical simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
