Adaptive synchronization for uncertain complex dynamical network using fuzzy disturbance observer

Abstract

This paper proposes a robust adaptive controller design method for synchronization of a complex dynamical network with uncertainty and disturbance. A fuzzy disturbance observer is used to estimate the overall disturbances without any prior knowledge about them. The proposed control method globally asymptotically synchronizes the network using adaptation laws obtained by using Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed method is applied to two chaotic systems and the results show the effectiveness of the approach.
