An adaptive feedback control of linearizable chaotic systems

This paper proposes an adaptive feedback controller for a class of chaotic systems. This controller can be used for tracking a smooth orbit that can be a limit cycle or a chaotic orbit of another system. Based on Lyapunov approach, the adaptation law is determined to tune the controller gain vector in order to track a predetermined linearizing feedback control. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme, two well-known chaotic systems namely Chua’s circuit and a Lur’e-like system are considered as illustrative examples.
