Abstract.

The antisynchronization behavior of chaotic systems with parametric uncertainties and external disturbances is explored by using robust active sliding mode control method. The sufficient conditions for achieving robust antisynchronization of two identical chaotic systems with different initial conditions and two different chaotic systems with terms of uncertainties and external disturbances are derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Analysis and numerical simulations are shown for validation purposes.

1. Introduction

Chaotic nonlinear systems appear ubiquitously in nature and can occur in man-made systems. These systems are recognized by their great sensitivity to initial conditions. Many scientists who are interested in this field have struggled to achieve the synchronization or antisynchronization of different chaotic systems, mainly due to its potential applications especially in chemical reactions, power converters, biological systems, information processing, secure communications, and so forth [1–7]. But due to its complexities, such tasks are always difficult to achieve. It is much more attractive and challenging to realize the synchronization or antisynchronization of two different chaotic systems especially if terms of uncertainty are considered. A wide variety of approaches have been proposed for the synchronization or antisynchronization of chaotic systems, which include generalized active control [8–10], nonlinear control [11, 12], adaptive control [13–17], and sliding mode control [18, 19]. Most of the above-mentioned works did not consider the uncertainty of parameters and its effects on the systems. The aim of this paper is to further develop the state observer method for constructing antisynchronized slave system for chaotic systems with parametric uncertainties and external disturbances by using a robust active sliding mode method.

The outline of the rest of the paper is organized as follows. Firstly, in Section 2 we present a novel active sliding mode controller design and analysis. Section 3 presents a brief description of the two systems, Next, in Section 4, the active sliding mode control method is applied to antisynchronize two identical chaotic systems with different initial conditions and terms of uncertainties and external disturbances. In Section 5, we apply our method to antisynchronize two different chaotic systems, namely, the chaotic Lü and Genesio systems. Finally, Section 6 provides a summary of our results.

2. Active Sliding Mode Controller Design and Analysis

Design procedure of the active sliding mode controller which is a combination of the active controller and the sliding mode controller is given first, and then the stability issue of the proposed method is discussed.

2.1. Active Sliding Mode Controller Design

Consider a chaotic system described by the following nonlinear differential equation: where denotes the system’s -dimensional state vector, represents the linear part of the system dynamics, and is the nonlinear part of the system, is the matrix of uncertainties, and is a vector representing external disturbances. Relation (2.1) represents the master system. The controller is added into the slave system, so it is given by where is the slave system’s -dimensional state vector, and play similar roles as and for the master system, is the matrix uncertainties, and is a vector representing external disturbances. If and , then and are the states of two identical chaotic systems. Otherwise they represent the states of two different chaotic systems. The antisynchronization problem is to design the controller which antisynchronizes the states of the master and slave systems. The dynamics of the antisynchronization errors can be expressed as where and . Our goal is to design the controller such that where is the Euclidean norm. As the trajectories of the chaotic systems are always bounded, then one can assume uncertainties to be bounded, so, in general, where , and are positive constants. According to the active control design procedure, one uses the control input to eliminate the nonlinear part of the error dynamics. In other words, the input vector is considered as The error system (2.3) is then rewritten as Equation (2.7) describes the error dynamics with a newly defined control input . There are many possible choices for the control . Without loss of generality, we choose the sliding mode control law as follows: where is a constant gain vector and is the control input that satisfies and is a switching surface which prescribes the desired dynamics. The resultant error dynamics is then In what follows, the appropriate sliding mode controller will be designed according to the sliding mode control theory.

2.1.1. Sliding Surface Design

The sliding surface can be defined as follows: where is a constant vector. The equivalent control approach is found by the fact that is a necessary condition for the state trajectory to stay on the switching surface . Hence, when in sliding mode, the controlled system satisfies the following conditions: Now, using (2.10), (2.11), and (2.12), one can obtain Solving (2.14) for results in the equivalent control where the existence of is a necessary condition. Replacing for in (2.10) from of (2.15), the state equation in the sliding mode is determined as follows: As long as the system (2.10) has all eigenvalues with negative real parts, it is asymptotically stable.

2.1.2. Design of the Sliding Mode Controller

We assume that the constant plus proportional rate reaching law is applied. The reaching law can be chosen such that where is a positive real number. The gains and are determined such that the sliding condition is satisfied and the sliding mode motion occurred. From (2.10) and (2.11), it can be found that Now, from (2.17) and (2.18), the control input is determined as

2.1.3. Stability Analysis

To check the stability of the controlled system, one can consider the following Lyapunov candidate function: The time derivative of (2.21) is Since ,   and , we have ; therefore, is negative definite. This property implies boundedness of the sliding surface . The error dynamics can be obtained using (2.19) in (2.10): As a linear system with bounded input , the error system is asymptotically stable if and only if has negative eigenvalues. Because of the special structure for matrix in the given chaotic systems, one of the eigenvalues is always and therefore is stable. The two other eigenvalues are independent from and determined by the other control parameters that is, and . The latter two eigenvalues can be negative or positive depending on and values. By appropriate choices of , and , one is able not only to stabilize the error system but also to adjust the rate of the error convergence. The parameter can be used to enhance the robust property expected from a sliding mode controller.

3. Systems Description

The Lü attractor, which connects the Lorenz attractor [20] and Chen and Ueta attractor [21, 22] and represents the transition from one to another, was proposed and analyzed by lü et al. [23]. The Lü chaotic system is described by the following system of differential equations: where , and are state variables and , and are positive parameters. This system is dissipative for and has a chaotic attractor when , and . The Genesio system was introduced by Genesio and Tesi in [24]. It is given by where , and are state variables, and , and are the positive real constants satisfying . Throughout this paper, we set , and such that the system exhibits chaotic behavior.

4. Active Sliding Mode Antisynchronization between Two Identical Systems

In order to observe synchronization behavior between two identical chaotic systems via active sliding mode control, we consider two examples, the first one is Lü system in (3.1) and the second example is Genesio system which is described in (3.2).

4.1. Active Sliding Mode Antisynchronization between Two Identical Lü Systems

For the Lü system, let us consider that The master system and the slave system can be written as the following respectively: and the slave system can be written as where are three control functions to be designed in order to determine the control functions and to realize the active sliding mode antisynchronization between the systems in (4.2) and (4.3). We add (4.2) and (4.3) to get where , and . Our goal is to find proper control functions such that system equation (4.3) globally antisynchronizes system equation (4.2) asymptotically; that is, where . Without the controls , the trajectories of the two systems equations (4.2) and (4.3), will quickly separate with each other and become irrelevant. However, when controls are applied, the two systems will approach synchronization for any initial conditions by appropriate control functions. If the control parameters are chosen as , and , , and , then the switching surface so the controllers are: Applying controller (4.7) to the slave system then the slave system in (4.3) can synchronize master system equation (4.2) asymptotically.To verify and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we discuss the simulation result for the active sliding mode antisynchronization between two identical Lü systems. For these simulations, the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the systems with time step size 0.001. We assumed that the initial conditions, and . Hence the error system has the initial values , and . The systems parameters are chosen as in the simulations such that Lü system exhibit chaotic behavior. Antisynchronization of the systems equations (4.3) and (4.2) via active sliding mode controllers in (4.7) is shown in Figure 1. Figures 1(a)–1(c) display the state trajectories of master system (4.2) and slave system (4.3). Figure 1(d) displays the error signals of the Lü system under the controller equations (4.7).

4.2. Active Sliding Mode Antisynchronization between Two Identical Genesio Systems

For the Genesio system, let us consider that The master system and the the slave system can be written as the following; respectively, and the slave system can be written as where are three control functions to be designed in order to determine the control functions and to realize the active sliding mode antisynchronization between the systems in (4.9) and (4.10). We add (4.9) and (4.10) to get where and . Our goal is to find proper control functions such that system equation (4.10) globally antisynchronizes system equation (4.9) asymptotically, that is, where . Without the controls , the trajectories of the two systems, (4.9) and (4.10), will quickly separate with each other and become irrelevant. However, when controls are applied, the two systems will approach synchronization for any initial conditions by appropriate control functions. if the control parameters are chosen as , and , and , then the switching surface so the controllers are Applying controller (4.14) to the slave system then the slave system, in (4.10) can synchronize master system equation (4.9) asymptotically. In the following, we discuss the simulation results of the proposed method. For these simulations, the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the systems with time step size 0.001. We assumed that the initial conditions, and . Hence the error system has the initial values , and . The systems parameters are chosen as , and in the simulations such that both systems exhibit chaotic behavior. Antisynchronization of the systems equations (4.10) and (4.9) via active sliding mode controllers in (4.14) are shown in Figure 2. Figures 2(a)–2(c) display the state trajectories of master system (4.9) and slave system (4.10). Figure 2(d) display the error signals of Genesio system under the controller equations (4.14).

5. Active Sliding Mode Antisynchronization between Two Different Systems

In this section the antisynchronization behavior between two different chaotic systems via active sliding mode control is investigated, the Lü system in (3.1) is assumed as the master system and the Genesio system in (3.2) is taken as the slave system. If we take: Here is the master and slave systems; respectively, We add (5.2) to (5.3) to get where , and . So we are aiming to find proper control functions such that system equation (5.3) globally antisynchronizes system equation (5.2) asymptotically; that is, where .

If the control parameters are chosen as and and then the switching surface using (5.7) we get

Applying controllers in (5.8), slave system equation (5.3) can antisynchronize master system equation (5.2) asymptotically. To verify and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we discuss the simulation result for the active sliding mode antisynchronization between the Lü system and the Genesio system. In the numerical simulations, the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the systems with time step size 0.001. For this numerical simulation, we assumed that the initial conditions and . Hence the error system has the initial values , and . The system parameters are chosen as , and in the simulations such that both systems exhibit chaotic behavior. Antisynchronization of the systems equations (5.2) and (5.3) via active sliding mode control law in (5.8) are shown in Figure 3. Figures 3(a)–3(c) display the state trajectories of master system (5.2) and slave system (5.3). Figure 3(d) displays the error signals of the Lü system and the Genesio system under the controller equations (5.8).
