Impulsive synchronization of a class of chaotic systems

Abstract

This paper deals with the impulsive synchronization problem of a class of chaotic systems. By employing the comparison principle and the linear matrix inequalities approach, some less conservative and easily verified sufficient conditions for impulsive synchronization of this class of chaotic systems are derived, these new sufficient conditions can be applied to analyze the impulsive synchronization of the Chua's oscillators. Moreover, the numerical simulation of Chua's oscillators under impulsive control shows the effectiveness of the proposed theory, and obtains better estimation of the boundary of the stable region than the existing approaches.
