Abstract

Based on one drive system and one response system synchronization model, a new type of combination–combination synchronization is proposed for four identical or different chaotic systems. According to the Lyapunov stability theorem and adaptive control, numerical simulations for four identical or different chaotic systems with different initial conditions are discussed to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Synchronization about combination of two drive systems and combination of two response systems is the main contribution of this paper, which can be extended to three or more chaotic systems. A universal combination of drive systems and response systems model and a universal adaptive controller may be designed to our intelligent application by our synchronization design.
