Projective synchronization of Chua's chaotic systems with dead-zone in the control input

Abstract: This paper investigates the chaos synchronization problem for drive–response Chua''s systems coupled with dead-zone nonlinear input. Using the sliding mode control technique, an adaptive control law is established which guarantees projective synchronization even when the dead-zone nonlinearity is present. Computer simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
