GLOBAL ANALYSIS ON n-SCROLL CHAOTIC ATTRACTORS OF MODIFIED CHUA'S CIRCUIT
Abstract
In this paper, we present a further mathematical study on the report of existence of n-scroll chaotic attractors in a modified Chua's circuit. A series of results based on mathematical theory are given. First, we show that the chaotic attractors of the modified Chua's circuit are globally attractive, with estimations given for the globally attractive set and positive invariant set. Then, we study the positions, number and local stability of the equilibrium points. We also design simple feedback control laws to globally exponentially stabilize any given equilibrium point. Finally, we use the theory and methodology of absolute stability of Luré nonlinear control systems and nonlinear feedback control to exponentially synchronize two modified Chua's circuits with the same structure. The design of constructive feedback control laws for synchronization is also discussed.
