“…In their seminal paper in 1990, Pecora and Carroll [10] introduced a method to synchronize two identical chaotic systems and showed that it was possible for some chaotic systems to be completely synchronized. Subsequently, chaos synchronization has been applied in a wide variety of fields, including physics [11], chemistry [12], ecology [13], secure communications [14,15], cardiology [16], robotics [17], complex dynamical networks [18], etc. Some common methods applied to the chaos synchronization problem are the active control method [19,20], adaptive control method [21,22], sampled-data feedback method [23], time-delay feedback method [24], backstepping method [25,26], sliding mode control method [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36], etc.…”
