Impulsive control of projective synchronization in chaotic systems

Scaling factor of projective synchronization in coupled partially linear chaotic systems is hardly predictable. To control projective synchronization of chaotic systems in a preferred way, an impulsive control scheme is introduced to direct the scaling factor onto a desired value. The control approach is derived from the impulsive differential equation theory. Numerical simulations on the chaotic Lorenz system are illustrated to verify the theoretical results. Furthermore, some interesting and surprising numerical results are discussed.
