A general scheme for Q-S synchronization of chaotic systems with unknown parameters and scaling functions

This work investigates Q-S synchronization of non-identical chaotic systems with unknown parameters and scaling function. The sufficient conditions for achieving Q-S synchronization with a double-desired scaling function of two different chaotic systems (including different dimensional systems) are derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory. By the adaptive control technique, the corresponding parameter update laws are proposed such that the Q-S synchronization of non-identical chaotic systems is to be obtained. Two illustrative numerical simulations are also given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
