Abstract: In this paper, a general method of synchronizing noise-perturbed chaotic systems with unknown parameters is proposed. Based on the LaSalle-type invariance principle for stochastic differential equations and by employing a combination of feedback control and adaptive control, some sufficient conditions of chaos synchronization between these noise-perturbed systems with unknown parameters are established. The model used in the research is the chaotic system, but the method is also applicable to the hyperchaotic systems. Unified system and noise-perturbed R¨ossler system, hyperchaotic Chen system and noise-perturbed hyperchaotic R¨ossler system are taken for illustrative examples to demonstrate this technique.

Key words: synchronization, adaptive control, noise perturbation, unknown parameters
