Synchronization of a class of strictly different chaotic oscillators

Abstract The synchronization of two different chaotic oscillators is studied. First, this problem is understood in terms of chaos suppression. Next, a robust asymptotic controller is used in the chaos control. The robust controller comprises an uncertainty estimator and a linearizing control law. In this way, synchronization is obtained despite the master model being strictly different from the slave model. In fact, the controller does not know the master oscillator model.
