Adaptive synchronization for a unified chaotic system with uncertainty

A new adaptive controller is designed to synchronize of a unified chaotic system with uncertainty (unknown parameter, noise perturbation, etc.). It is implemented by using variable structure control. The controller designed here only uses the derivative information of the uncertainty. Even if the uncertainty is time-varying or unbounded, as long as its derivative is bounded, the adaptive controller can guarantee the synchronization of the unified chaotic system with uncertainty. Finally, digital simulation is carried out for Lorenz system, and the results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
