SYNCHRONIZATION FOR A CLASS OF CHAOTIC SYSTEMS BASED UPON OBSERVER THEORY

A new synchronization theorem for a class of chaotic systems is presented based on nonlinear observer theory. We take the first state variable of the drive system as the driving scalar signal. Its linear feedback gain is a function of a free parameter. It is proven that global synchronization can be attained through simple linear output error feedback. This approach is illustrated by the WGY hyperchaotic system and Chua's oscillator.
