ROBUST SYNCHRONIZATION OF CHAOTIC LUR'E SYSTEMS VIA REPLACING VARIABLES CONTROL
Abstract
The sufficient conditions for chaos synchronization of two nonidentical systems by replacing variables control have not been proposed until now. In this paper, synchronization of two chaotic Lur'e systems with parameter mismatch by replacing variables control is studied. First of all, we present a master-slave Lur'e systems synchronization scheme with both parameter mismatch and replacing variables control, and derive a responsive error system for the scheme. A new definition of synchronization with finite L2-gain is then introduced. Based on the definition, the sufficient synchronization criteria which are in the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI) are proved using a quadratic Lyapunov function. By means of MKY lemma the frequency domain criteria are further derived from the obtained LMIs. These frequency domain criteria are illustrated on the master-slave Chua's circuits with parameter mismatch so that the ranges of the parameters of Chua's circuit are analytically solved in the sense of the synchronization with finite L2-gain by replacing singe-variable control. The illustrative examples verify that within the ranges of the parameters it is possible to synchronize the master-slave Chua's circuits up to a small synchronization error bound, even the qualitative behaviors of the slave circuit are different from that of the master one, such as the trajectory of the master circuit is chaotic and that of the slave divergent. The relation between the synchronization error bound and parameter mismatch is shown.
