Sliding mode synchronization controller design with neural network for uncertain chaotic systems

A sliding mode synchronization controller is presented with RBF neural network for two chaotic systems in this paper. The compound disturbance of the synchronization error system consists of nonlinear uncertainties and exterior disturbances of chaotic systems. Based on RBF neural networks, a compound disturbance observer is proposed and the update law of parameters is given to monitor the compound disturbance. The synchronization controller is given based on the output of the compound disturbance observer. The designed controller can make the synchronization error convergent to zero and overcome the disruption of the uncertainty and the exterior disturbance of the system. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the availability of the proposed synchronization control method.
