Synchronization in Integer and Fractional Order Chaotic Systems

Abstract

In this chapter, the author introduces the basic methods of chaos synchronization in integer order systems, such as Pecora and Carroll method and One-Way coupling technique, applying these synchronization methods to the modified autonomous Duffing-Van der Pol system (MADVP). The conditional Lyapunov exponents (CLEs) are also calculated for the drive and response MADVP systems which match with the analytical results given by Pecora and Carroll method. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, chaos synchronization is achieved for two coupled MADVP systems by finding a suitable Lyapunov function. Moreover, synchronization in fractional order chaotic systems is also introduced. The conditions of Pecora and Carroll method and One-Way coupling method in fractional order systems are also investigated. In addition, chaos synchronization is achieved for two coupled fractional order MADVP systems using One-Way coupling technique. Furthermore, synchronization between two different fractional order chaotic systems is studied; the fractional order Lü system is controlled to be the fractional order Chen system. The analytical conditions for the synchronization of this pair of different fractional order chaotic systems are derived by utilizing the Laplace transform theory. Numerical simulations are carried out to show the effectiveness of all the proposed synchronization techniques.
