Chaos suppression based on adaptive observer for a PP-class of chaotic systems

A feedback approach is presented to suppress chaos in a PP-class of chaotic system. The approach is based on an adaptive observer; which provides estimated values of both the unmeasured states and the uncertain model parameters. A continuous-time feedback law is taken as suppressing force. The feedback law attains chaos suppression as the observer provides estimated values close to the actual state/parameter values along time. The proposed scheme is robust in the sense that suppression is achieved despite only some states are measured and uncertainties in parameters are compensated. Results are corroborated experimentally by implementation in chaotic circuits.
