Finite-Time generalized synchronization of nonidentical delayed chaotic systems

Abstract

This paper deals with the finite-time generalized synchronization (GS) problem of drive- response systems. The main purpose of this paper is to design suitable controllers to force the drive-response systems to realize GS in a finite time. Based on the finite-time stability theory and nonlinear control theory, sufficient conditions are derived that guarantee finite-time GS. This paper extends some basic results from generalized synchronization to delayed systems. Because finite- time GS means the optimality in convergence time and has better robustness, the results in this paper are important. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control techniques.
