Adaptive fuzzy synchronization for a class of chaotic systems with unknown nonlinearities and disturbances

By incorporating a time-varying parameter into T-S fuzzy logic systems with nonlinear consequents (T-S-FLS-NRC), the synchronization of driver-response chaotic systems with unknown nonlinearities and disturbances is synthesized via state feedback controllers and updated adaptive laws. During designing process of synchronization, only three common parameters are needed to be adjusted automatically, and the number of adaptive laws is not related with the number of IF-THEN rules. Meanwhile, T-S-FLS-NRC is employed to approximate the unknown nonlinearities for the master and slave systems. The general form and high approximate capacity of T-S-FLS-NRC is useful to obtain fewer fuzzy rules than other fuzzy logic systems such as Mamdani or T-S fuzzy logic system with linear consequents. The synchronization method in this paper cannot only significantly reduce the on-line computational burden, but also can synthesize the fuzzy rules with high interpretability by means of intuition inferences. Finally, a numerical example is used to show the validity of the proposed synchronization method.
