OBSERVER-BASED SYNCHRONIZATION OF UNCERTAIN CHAOTIC SYSTEMS: COMPARISON BETWEEN REDUCED-ORDER AND FULL-ORDER OBSERVERS
Within the drive-response configuration, this paper considers the synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems based on observers. Even if there are unknown disturbances and parameters in the drive system, a robust adaptive full-order observer can be used to realize chaos synchronization. Further, we develop a reduced-order observer-based response system to synchronize the drive system. By choosing a special reduced-order gain matrix, the reduced-order observer-based response system turns out to be linear and can eliminate the influence of the unknown disturbances and parameters directly. We also discuss the above mentioned two kinds of observers in numerical simulation, and demonstrate that the linear reduced-order observer-based response system is better than the full-order observer-based one.
