Adaptive modified function projective synchronization and parameter identification of uncertain hyperchaotic (chaotic) systems with identical or non-identical structures

Modified function projective synchronization (MFPS), which generalizes many kinds of synchronization form, has received great attention recently. Based on the active control method and adaptive control technique, a general formula for designing the controllers is proposed to achieve adaptive MFPS, which corrects several incomplete results that have been reported recently. In addition, this paper derives the sufficient condition for parameter identification, which was not mentioned in much of the relevant literature concerning MFPS. Furthermore, we extend the MFPS scheme to the cases that the drive and response systems come with non-identical structures. The proposed method is both theoretically rigorous and practically feasible, which has the merits that it can not only achieve the full-state MFPS but also identify the fully unknown parameters in the synchronization process. The theoretical results are successfully applied to three typical illustrative cases: the adaptive MFPS of two identical 4-D hyperchaotic systems with unknown parameters in the response system, the adaptive MFPS between a 5-D hyperchaotic system and a 4-D hyperchaotic system with unknown parameters in the drive system and the adaptive MFPS between a 3-D chaotic system and a 4-D hyperchaotic system when the parameters in the drive system and response system are all unknown. For each case the controller functions and parameter update laws are well designed in detail. Moreover, the corresponding numerical simulations are presented, which agree well with the theoretical analysis.
