Zhang Neuro-PID Control for Generalized Bi-Variable Function Projective Synchronization of Nonautonomous Nonlinear Systems with Various Perturbations

Abstract

Nonautonomous nonlinear (NN) systems have broad application prospects and significant research value in nonlinear science. In this paper, a new synchronization type—namely, generalized bi-variable function projective synchronization (GBVFPS)—is proposed. The scaling function matrix of GBVFPS is not one-variable but bi-variable. This indicates that the GBVFPS can be transformed into various synchronization types such as projective synchronization (PS), modified PS, function PS, modified function PS, and generalized function PS. In order to achieve the GBVFPS in two different NN systems with various perturbations, by designing a novel Zhang neuro-PID controller, an effective and anti-perturbation GBVFPS control method is proposed. Rigorous theoretical analyses are presented to prove the convergence performance and anti-perturbation ability of the GBVFPS control method, especially its ability to suppress six different perturbations. Besides, the effectiveness, superiority, and anti-perturbation ability of the proposed GBVFPS control method are further substantiated through two representative numerical simulations, including the synchronization of two NN chaotic systems and the synchronization of two four-dimensional vehicular inverted pendulum systems.
