On the synchronization of a hyperchaotic system based on adaptive method

This Letter researches the adaptive synchronization of a hyperchaotic system. Based on Lyapunov method, a general adaptive method via a driving vector and an original adaptive method via a single driving variable are presented to achieve the chaos synchronization. Especially, the latter makes the structure of adaptive controller simple and has more practical value compared with the former. Some typical numerical examples are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method proposed.
