Synchronization and anti-synchronization coexist in Chen–Lee chaotic systems

Abstract: This study demonstrates that synchronization and anti-synchronization can coexist in Chen–Lee chaotic systems by direct linear coupling. Based on Lyapunov’s direct method, a linear controller was designed to assure that two different types of synchronization can simultaneously be achieved. Further, the hybrid projective synchronization of Chen–Lee chaotic systems was studied using a nonlinear control scheme. The nonlinear controller was designed according to the Lyapunov stability theory to guarantee the hybrid projective synchronization, including synchronization, anti-synchronization, and projective synchronization. Finally, numerical examples are presented in order to illustrate the proposed synchronization approach. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
