Finite-time synchronization for a class of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems via adaptive feedback controller

This Letter investigates chaos synchronization of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. Based on finite-time stability theory, a simple adaptive control method for realizing chaos synchronization in a finite time is proposed. In comparison with previous methods, the present method is not only simple, but could also be easily utilized in application. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed approach. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
