Observer-based synchronization of chaotic systems with unknown nonlinear function

This paper deals with the synchronization of chaotic systems using a time-delay observer. The class of systems considered herein have a known linear part and an unknown nonlinear function. The time-delay observer uses a linear gain to synchronize and a time-delay estimation to estimate the nonlinear function. To demonstrate the advantages of this scheme we present numerical simulations to synchronize double-scroll and three-scroll Chua’s systems.
