Abstract
This paper investigates the global finite-time synchronization of a class of the second-order nonautonomous chaotic systems via a master–slave coupling. A continuous generalized linear state-error feedback controller with simple structure is introduced into the synchronization scheme. Some easily implemented algebraic criteria for achieving the global finite-time synchronization are proven and then optimized for the purposes of improving their sharpness. The optimized criteria are applied to a practical master–slave synchronization scheme for the single-machine-infinite-bus (SMIB) systems, obtaining the precise corresponding synchronization conditions. Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the new synchronization criteria.
