Adaptive impulsive synchronization for a class of fractional-order chaotic and hyperchaotic systems

In this paper, the adaptive impulsive synchronization for a class of fractional-order chaotic and hyperchaotic systems with unknown Lipschitz constant is investigated. Firstly, based on the adaptive control theory and the impulsive differential equations theory, the impulsive controller, the adaptive controller and the parametric update law are designed, respectively. Secondly, by constructing the suitable response system, the original fractional-order error system can be converted into the integral-order one. Finally, the new sufficient criterion is derived to guarantee the asymptotical stability of synchronization error system by the Lyapunov stability theory and the generalized Barbalat's lemma. In addition, numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed adaptive impulsive control method. (C) 2013 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
