Feedback Synchronization of Chaotic Systems

Abstract

Feedback coupling through an interaction term proportional to the difference in the value of some behavioral characteristics of two systems is a very common structural setting that leads to synchronization of the behavior of both systems. The degree of synchronization attained depends on the strength of the interaction term and on the mutual interdependency of the structures of both systems. In this paper, we show that two chaotic systems linked through a feedback coupling interaction term of gain parameter k reach a synchronized regime characterized by a vector of variable errors which tends towards zero with parameter k while the interaction term tends towards a finite nonzero permanent regime. This means that maintaining a certain degree of synchronization has a cost. In the limit, complete synchronization occurs at a finite limit cost. We show that feedback coupling in itself brings about conditions permitting that systems with a degree of structural parameter flexibility evolve close towards each other structures in order to facilitate the maintenance of the synchronized regime. In this paper, we deduce parameter adaptive laws for any family of homochaotic systems provided they are previously forced to work, via feedback coupling, within an appropriate degree of synchronization. The laws are global in the space of parameters and lead eventually to identical synchronization at no interaction cost. We illustrate this point with homochaotic systems from the Lorenz, Rössler and Chua families.

Efficient synchronization of structurally adaptive coupled Hindmarsh–Rose neurons

“…(5), the net variation of energy at the coupling device is given by the following expression according to Ref. [8], where the first vector stands for the gradient of the energy function given by Eq. (2) and the second term represents the coupling device (see Eq.…”

“…We suppose that the sending neuron is set in the chaotic spiking-bursting regime corresponding to a constant external current I 1 = 3.024, with the stan- In a previous work [8] we deduced adaptive laws that permit to any family of homochaotic coupled systems to adapt their structures in order to approach each other provided they are previously forced to a certain degree of synchronization.…”

Control and Synchronization of New Hyperchaotic System using Active Backstepping Design

“…Until now, enormous progresses have been made in understanding various methods [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] to achieve control and synchronization of chaotic systems. Fortunately, the existing method to control and synchronize chaotic systems can be generalized to control and synchronize hyperchaotic systems [18][19][20].…”

Two new techniques to synchronize phase planar systems using discontinuous feedback

“…Some examples of the control techniques used in the design of the coupling signals under these conditions are the linear state feedback for the synchronization of chaotic systems [7] and PID controllers to synchronize mechanisms [6].…”
