Abstract — The problem of chaos synchronization is to design a coupling between two chaotic systems (master-slave/drive-response systems configuration) such that the chaotic time evaluation becomes ideal and the output of the slave (response) system asymptotically follows the output of the master (drive) system. This paper has addressed the chaos synchronization problem of two chaotic systems using the Nonlinear Control Techniques, based on Lyapunov stability theory. It has been shown that the proposed schemes have outstanding transient performances and that analytically as well as graphically, synchronization is asymptotically globally stable. Suitable feedback controllers are designed to stabilize the closed-loop system at the origin. All simulation results are carried out to corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed methodologies by using Mathematica 9.

I NTRODUCTION Synchronization of chaotic systems is a process where two (or many) chaotic systems eventually progress identically for different initial conditions in all future states. This means that the dynamical state of one of the system is completely dictated by the dynamical state of the other system [1]. Chaos Synchronization between two chaotic systems is one of the most primary procedures in complex systems’ control and has wide potential applications in different fields [2-6]. After a pioneering work on chaos synchronization [1], synchronization of chaotic dynamical systems has received a great interest among researchers in nonlinear sciences for more than two decades [7]. Until now, diverse techniques have been proposed and applied successfully to synchronize two identical (or nearly identical) as well as nonidentical chaotic systems [8-13]. Notable among those, the Nonlinear control algorithm [7, 9] is one of the effectual techniques for synchronizing two chaotic systems [7]. Nonlinear control techniques take the advantage of the given nonlinear system dynamics to produce high-performance designs. No Lyapunov exponents or gain matrix are required for its execution. These qualities allow the designer to focus on the synchronization problem, leaving troublesome model manipulations [9]. Edward Lorenz, a meteorologist and mathematician, is known to be the pioneer of chaos theory. In the 1960s, Lorenz made his historical discovery by observing weather phenomena particularly in convections of fluids [14]. Lorenz took different mathematical models of fluid convection and simplified them into a system of ordinary differential equations and came up with a 3-D chaotic attractor for the first time, what is now known as the popular Lorenz equations [14]. After the exceptional discovery of E. Lorenz on chaotic attractor, chaos has become an interesting topic for many researchers. During the last three decades, remarkable research has been done on chaos which explored its different applications, features and fundamental properties [15]. The significance of the 3-D differential equations is that relatively simple systems could exhibit rather complex or specifically chaotic behavior. The 3-dimensional chaotic systems have many potential applications in different scientific fields such as chemical reactions, secure communications, biological systems and nonlinear circuits [15]. Due to a wide range of applications of 3-D chaotic systems, various systems such as the Chen system, Rossler system, Liu system, Qi system, Tigan system and Lu system [16-19] have been proposed and applied successfully to many practical systems and have shown some effective outcomes. Recently, a new 3-D autonomous chaotic system based on a quadratic exponential nonlinear term and a quadratic cross product term has been proposed and studied [20]. A quadratic exponential nonlinear term was added to the third equation while eliminating the second term from the second equation and a nonlinear term from the third equation of the Lorenz System [20]. The new 3-D chaotic system is topologically different from the Lorenz System. The two-scroll attractor from the new system exhibits multiplex chaotic dynamics.
