Forced sliding mode control for chaotic systems synchronization

Abstract

Synchronization of chaotic systems is considered to be a common engineering problem. However, the proposed laws of synchronization control do not always provide robustness toward the parametric perturbations. The purpose of this article is to show the use of synergy-cybernetic approach for the construction of robust law for Arneodo chaotic systems synchronization. As the main method of design of robust control, the method of design of control with forced sliding mode of the synergetic control theory is considered. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed law, in this article it is compared with the classical sliding mode control and adaptive backstepping. The distinctive features of suggested robust control law are the more good compensation of parametric perturbations (better performance indexes—the root-mean-square error (RMSE), average absolute value (AVG) of error) without designing perturbation observers, the ability to exclude the chattering effect, less energy consuming and a simpler analysis of the stability of a closed-loop system. The study of the proposed control law and the change of its parameters and the place of parametric perturbation’s application is carried out. It is possible to significantly reduce the synchronization error and RMSE, as well as AVG of error by reducing some parameters, but that leads to an increase in control signal amplitude. The place of application of parametric disturbances (slave or master system) has no effect on the RMSE and AVG of error. Offered approach will allow a new consideration for the design of robust control laws for chaotic systems, taking into account the ideas of directed self-organization and robust control. It can be used for synchronization other chaotic systems.
