Synchronization criteria of Lur'e systems with time-delay feedback control

In this paper time-delay effects on the master-slave synchronization scheme are studied by a time-delay feedback control technique. Several new delay-independent and delay-dependent sufficient conditions are presented for master-slave synchronization of Lur'e systems based upon Lyapunov method and linear matrix inequalities (LMI's) approaches. These new synchronization criteria are easily verifiable and offer some fairly adjustable real parameters, which are of important significance in the design and applications of such chaos synchronization systems, and the proposed results improve and generalize the earlier works.
