Synchronization of A Class of Uncertain Chaotic Systems with Lipschitz Nonlinearities Using State-Feedback Control Design: A Matrix Inequality Approach

This paper proposes a new state-feedback stabilization control technique for a class of uncertain chaotic systems with Lipschitz nonlinearity conditions. Based on Lyapunov stabilization theory and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) scheme, a new sufficient condition formulated in the form of LMIs is created for the chaos synchronization of chaotic systems with parametric uncertainties and external disturbances on the slave system. Using Barbalat's lemma, the suggested approach guarantees that the slave system synchronizes to the master system at an asymptotical convergence rate. Meanwhile, a criterion to find the proper feedback gain vector F is also provided. A new continuous-bounded nonlinear function is introduced to cope with the disturbances and uncertainties and obtain a desired control performance, i.e. small steady-state error and fast settling time. Several criteria are derived to guarantee the asymptotic and robust stability of the uncertain master-slave systems. Furthermore, the proposed controller is independent of the order of the system's model. Numerical simulation results are displayed with an expected satisfactory performance compared to the available methods.
