CHAOS AND ROBUST ADAPTIVE SYNCHRONIZATION IN A NONLINEAR EMITTER–RECEIVER SYSTEM

Abstract

This work studies transitions to chaos and adaptive synchronization of a nonlinear emitter–receiver system in a drive–response framework. Safe bifurcations and explosive bifurcations are observed. A robust adaptive observer-based response system is designed to synchronize the emitter–receiver system with unknown parameters and external disturbances. Lyapunov stability ensures global synchronization between the drive and response systems even if Lipschitz constants on functions matrices and bound on uncertainties are unknown. Computer simulations are provided to illustrate the designed adaptive synchronization scheme.
