Chaos Control and Modified Projective Synchronization of Chaotic Dissipative Gyroscope Systems

This paper proposes the chaos control and the modified projective synchronization methods for chaotic dissipative gyroscope systems. Because of the nonlinear terms of the gyroscope system, the system exhibits chaotic motions. Occasionally, the extreme sensitivity to initial states in a system operating in chaotic mode can be very destructive to the system because of unpredictable behavior. In order to improve the performance of a dynamic system or avoid the chaotic phenomena, it is necessary to control a chaotic system with a periodic motion beneficial for working with a particular condition. As chaotic signals are usually broadband and noise like, synchronized chaotic systems can be used as cipher generators for secure communication. This paper presents chaos synchronization of two identical chaotic motions of symmetric gyroscopes. Using the variable structure control technique, control laws are established which guarantees the chaos control and the modified projective synchronization. By Lyapunov stability theory, control lows are proposed to ensure the stability of the controlled and synchronized system. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the proposed control and the synchronization approach. This paper demonstrates that synchronization and anti-synchronization can coexist in dissipative gyroscope systems via variable structure control.
