Chaos synchronization based on intermittent state observer

This paper describes the method of synchronizing slave to the master trajectory using an intermittent state observer by constructing a synchronizer which drives the response system globally tracing the driving system asymptotically. It has been shown from the theory of synchronization error-analysis that a satisfactory result of chaos synchronization is expected under an appropriate intermittent period and state observer. Compared with continuous control method, the proposed intermittent method can target the desired orbit more efficiently. The application of the method is demonstrated on the hyperchaotic R?ssler systems. Numerical simulations show that the length of the synchronization interval τ_s is of crucial importance for our scheme, and the method is robust with respect to parameter mismatch.
