Abstract

This Letter investigates modified function projective synchronization between hyperchaotic Lorenz system and hyperchaotic Lu system using adaptive method. By Lyapunov stability theory, the adaptive control law and the parameter update law are derived to make the state of two hyperchaotic systems modified function projective synchronized. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive controllers.

Introduction

Chaos synchronization, an important topic in nonlinear science, has been developed and studied extensively in the last few years. Since Pecora and Carroll [1] introduced a method to synchronize two identical systems with different initial conditions, a variety of approaches have been proposed for the synchronization of chaotic systems which include complete synchronization [1], phase synchronization [2], generalized synchronization [3], lag synchronization [4], intermittent lag synchronization [5], time scale synchronization [6], intermittent generalized synchronization [7], projective synchronization [8] and modified projective synchronization [9], [10].

Projective synchronization is characterized that the drive and response system could be synchronized up to a scaling factor where as in modified projective synchronization (MPS) the responses of the synchronized dynamical states synchronize up to a constant scaling matrix. Recently a more general form of projective synchronization called function projective synchronization [11], [12] in which drive and response systems are synchronized up to a desired scaling function has attracted much attention of scientists and engineers as it provides more secure communication in applications to secure communication.

Most of the works mentioned so far involved mainly with low-dimensional chaotic systems with only one positive Lyapunov exponent. Hyperchaotic systems possessing at least two positive Lyapunov exponents have more complex behaviour and abundant dynamics than chaotic systems and are more suitable for some engineering applications such as secure communication. Hence how to realize synchronization of hyperchaotic systems is an interesting and challenging work. Fortunately, some existing methods of synchronizing low-dimensional chaotic systems like adaptive control, active control, active backstepping control, sliding mode control methods can be generalized to synchronize hyperchaotic systems [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]. In practical situations parameters are probably unknown and may change time to time. Therefore, how to effectively synchronize two hyperchaotic systems with unknown parameters is an important problem for theoretical research and practical applications. Among different methods of synchronizing two hyperchaotic systems, adaptive control method is an effective one for achieving synchronization of hyperchaotic systems with full unknown parameters [20].

Recently L. Runzi [21] presented function projective synchronization (FPS) of two identical Rossler hyperchaotic systems using adaptive control method. As we all know, the synchronization of between different hyperchaotic systems is very important in engineering applications because they have different complex dynamic behaviours. However FPS between two different hyperchaotic systems is seldom reported.

An important point to be considered with regard to synchronization is that the signal effecting upon the synchronized system is very small in comparison with the amplitude of proper oscillations of the system but, nevertheless, enough to change the system behaviour and impose the rhythm of external influence to it. So we have to make sure that the external influence U applied on the response system is really small and, correspondingly, it is correct to speak about synchronization phenomenon.

Motivated by the above discussions, in this Letter, we propose modified function projective synchronization (MFPS) of two different hyperchaotic systems. Modified function projective synchronization, a more general definition of function projective definition, can provide more security in secure communications and allow us to vary the magnitude of the control signal so that the external influence on the response system imposing synchronization is really small. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed MFPS scheme the modified function projective synchronization between hyperchaotic Lorenz and hyperchaotic Lu systems is investigated using adaptive control method. To our knowledge, function projective synchronization between these systems is not explored.

The organization of the rest of this Letter is as follows. Section 2 discusses modified function projective synchronization scheme. Section 3 gives a brief description of hyperchaotic Lorenz and hyperchaotic Lu systems. In Section 4, we present the adaptive modified function projective synchronization between hyperchaotic Lorenz system and hyperchaotic Lu system. In Section 5, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally some concluding remarks are given.

Adaptive modified function projective scheme

Consider the following master and slave systemx˙=g(t,x),y˙=h(t,y)+u(t,x,y), where x,yRn are the state vectors, g,h:RnRn are continuous nonlinear vector functions, u(t,x,y) is the vector controller. We define the error system ase(t)=xMf(t)y, where M is a constant diagonal matrix M=diag(m1,m2,,mn)Rn×n and f(t) a continuous differentiable function with f(t)0 for all t.

The system (1), (2) are said to be in modified function projective synchronization, if there exists a constant diagonal

System description

The hyperchaotic Lorenz system is described as follows [22]:x˙=α(yx),y˙=βx+yxzw,z˙=xyγz,w˙=θyz, where x, y, z and w are state variables and α, β, γ, θ are parameters. When α=10, β=28, γ=8/3 and θ=0.1, the system (4) exhibits hyperchaotic behaviour (Fig. 1(a)–(b)).

By using a feedback controller, a novel hyperchaotic Lu system was constructed based on the original three-dimensional Lu system which is given by the following equations [23]:x˙=a(yx)+w,y˙=xz+cy,z˙=xybz,w˙=xz+dw, where x, y, z

Adaptive modified function projective synchronization between hyperchaotic Lorenz system and Lu system

In order to achieve the behaviour of modified function projective synchronization between hyperchaotic Lorenz system and hyperchaotic Lu system, we assume that the hyperchaotic Lorenz system is the drive system whose four variables are denoted by subscript 1 and the hyperchaotic Lu system is the response system whose variables are denoted by subscript 2. The drive and response systems are described, respectively, by the following equations:x˙1=α(y1x1),y˙1=βx1+y1x1z1w1,z˙1=x1y1γz1,w˙1=θy1z1,x

Numerical simulations

Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization controller. Fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is used to solve systems (6), (7), (10) with time step size 0.001. The parameters are chosen to be α=10, β=28, γ=8/3, θ=0.1, a=36, b=3, c=20 and d=1 in all simulations so that the hyperchaotic Lorenz system and Lu system exhibit chaotic behaviours if no control inputs are applied. The initial conditions of the drive system are x1(0)=1, y1(0)=1, z1(0)=

Conclusion

This Letter investigated the modified function projective synchronization between the hyperchaotic Lorenz system and the Lu system with fully uncertain parameters. On the basis of Lyapunov stability theory, we design adaptive synchronization controllers with corresponding parameter update laws to synchronize the two systems. All the theoretical results are verified by numerical simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization schemes.

      In the past decades, chaos synchronization has become a hot subject in the field of nonlinear science due to its great potential applications in physical systems, biological networks, information sciences and secure communications, etc. Up to now, a variety of synchronization approaches have been proposed which include complete synchronization [1], phase synchronization [2], generalized synchronization [3], lag synchronization [4], projective synchronization [5], modified projective synchronization [6,7], function projective synchronization [8–10] and modified function projective synchronization [11–16]. Modified function projective synchronization is the more general type of synchronization, which means that the master and slave systems could be synchronized up to a scaling function matrix.
