ABSTRACT
This paper investigates the hybrid chaos synchronization of uncertain 4-D chaotic systems, viz. identical
Lorenz-Stenflo (LS) systems (Stenflo, 2001), identical Qi systems (Qi, Chen and Du, 2005) and non-
identical LS and Qi systems. In hybrid chaos synchronization of master and slave systems, the odd states
of the two systems are completely synchronized, while the even states of the two systems are anti-
synchronized so that complete synchronization (CS) and anti-synchronization (AS) co-exist in the
synchronization of the two systems. In this paper, we shall assume that the parameters of both master
and slave systems are unknown and we devise adaptive control schemes for the hybrid chaos
synchronization using the estimates of parameters for both master and slave systems. Our adaptive
synchronization schemes derived in this paper are established using Lyapunov stability theory. Since the
Lyapunov exponents are not required for these calculations, the adaptive control method is very effective
and convenient to achieve hybrid synchronization of identical and non-identical LS and Qi systems.
Numerical simulations are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive
synchronization schemes for the identical and non-identical uncertain LS and Qi 4-D chaotic systems.

1. INTRODUCTION
Chaotic systems are nonlinear dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions.
The sensitive nature of chaotic systems is commonly called as the butterfly effect [1].
Chaos is an interesting nonlinear phenomenon and has been extensively and intensively studied
in the last two decades [1-30]. Chaos theory has been applied in many scientific disciplines such
as Mathematics, Computer Science, Microbiology, Biology, Ecology, Economics, Population
Dynamics and Robotics.
In 1990, Pecora and Carroll [2] deployed control techniques to synchronize two identical
chaotic systems and showed that it was possible for some chaotic systems to be completely
synchronized. From then on, chaos synchronization has been widely explored in a variety of
fields including physical systems [3], chemical systems [4-5], ecological systems [6], secure
communications [7-9], etc.
In most of the chaos synchronization approaches, the master-slave or drive-response formalism
is used. If a particular chaotic system is called the master or drive system and another chaotic
system is called the slave or response system, then the idea of the synchronization is to use the

16
output of the master system to control the slave system so that the output of the slave system
tracks the output of the master system asymptotically.
Since the seminal work by Pecora and Carroll [2], a variety of impressive approaches have been
proposed for the synchronization of chaotic systems such as the OGY method [10], active
control method [11-15], adaptive control method [16-22], sampled-data feedback
synchronization method [23], time-delay feedback method [24], backstepping method [25],
sliding mode control method [26-30], etc.
So far, many types of synchronization phenomenon have been presented such as complete
synchronization [2], phase synchronization [31], generalized synchronization [32], anti-
synchronization [33-34], projective synchronization [35], generalized projective
synchronization [36-37], etc.
Complete synchronization (CS) is characterized by the equality of state variables evolving in
time, while anti-synchronization (AS) is characterized by the disappearance of the sum of
relevant variables evolving in time. Projective synchronization (PS) is characterized by the fact
that the master and slave systems could be synchronized up to a scaling factor, whereas in
generalized projective synchronization (GPS), the responses of the synchronized dynamical
states synchronize up to a constant scaling matrix .α It is easy to see that the complete
synchronization (CS) and anti-synchronization (AS) are special cases of the generalized
projective synchronization (GPS) where the scaling matrix Iα = and ,Iα = − respectively.
In hybrid synchronization of chaotic systems [15], one part of the system is synchronized and
the other part is anti-synchronized so that the complete synchronization (CS) and anti-
synchronization (AS) coexist in the system. The coexistence of CS and AS is highly useful in
secure communication and chaotic encryption schemes.
In this paper, we investigate the hybrid chaos synchronization of 4-D chaotic systems, viz.
identical Lorenz-Stenflo systems ([38], 2001), identical Qi systems ([39], 2005) and non-
identical Lorenz-Stenflo and Qi systems. We deploy adaptive control method because the
system parameters of the 4-D chaotic systems are assumed to be unknown. The adaptive
nonlinear controllers are derived using Lyapunov stability theory for the hybrid chaos
synchronization of the two 4-D chaotic systems when the system parameters are unknown.
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we provide a description of the 4-D chaotic
systems addressed in this paper, viz. Lorenz-Stenflo systems (2001) and Qi systems (2005). In
Section 3, we discuss the hybrid chaos synchronization of identical Lorenz-Stenflo systems. In
Section 4, we discuss the hybrid chaos synchronization of identical Qi systems. In Section 5, we
derive results for the hybrid synchronization of non-identical Lorenz-Stenflo and Qi systems.

where ˆˆ ˆ, ,α β γ and ˆr are estimates of , ,α β γ and ,r respectively, and ,( 1,2,3,4)ik i = are

Substituting (9) into (8), we obtain the error dynamics as

For the derivation of the update law for adjusting the estimates of the parameters, the Lyapunov
approach is used.
We consider the quadratic Lyapunov function defined by

which is a positive definite function on 8

We also note that
ˆˆ ˆ, ,e e eα β γα β γ= − = − = −

Differentiating (11) along the trajectories of (10) and using (12), we obtain

In view of Eq. (13), the estimated parameters are updated by the following law:

where 5 6 7, ,k k k and 8k are positive constants.
Substituting (14) into (12), we obtain

which is a negative definite function on 8

Thus, by Lyapunov stability theory [40], it is immediate that the hybrid synchronization error
,( 1,2,3,4)ie i = and the parameter estimation error , , , re e e eα β γ decay to zero exponentially
with time.
Hence, we have proved the following result.
Theorem 1. The identical hyperchaotic Lorenz-Stenflo systems (3) and (4) with unknown
parameters are globally and exponentially hybrid synchronized via the adaptive control law (7),
where the update law for the parameter estimates is given by (14) and ,( 1,2, ,8)ik i = K are
positive constants.
3.2 Numerical Results
For the numerical simulations, the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with time-step 6
10h −
= is
used to solve the 4-D chaotic systems (3) and (4) with the adaptive control law (14) and the
parameter update law (14) using MATLAB.
We take 4ik = for 1,2, ,8.i = K
For the Lorenz-Stenflo systems (3) and (4), the parameter values are taken as
2.0, 0.7, 1.5α β γ= = = and 26.0.r =
Suppose that the initial values of the parameter estimates are
ˆ ˆˆ ˆ(0) 6, (0) 5, (0) 2, (0) 7.a b r d= = = =
The initial values of the master system (3) are taken as
1 2 3 4(0) 4, (0) 10, (0) 15, (0) 19.x x x x= = = =
The initial values of the slave system (4) are taken as
1 2 3 4(0) 21, (0) 6, (0) 3, (0) 27.y y y y= = = =
Figure 3 depicts the hybrid-synchronization of the identical Lorenz-Stenflo systems (3) and (4).
It may also be noted that the odd states of the two systems are completely synchronized, while
the even states of the two systems are anti-synchronized.
Figure 4 shows that the estimated values of the parameters, viz. ˆˆ ˆ, ,α β γ and ˆr converge to the
system parameters

In this section, we discuss the hybrid synchronization of identical Qi systems ([39], 2005),

Thus, by Lyapunov stability theory [30], it is immediate that the synchronization error
,( 1,2,3,4)ie i = and the parameter estimation error decay to zero exponentially with time.

6. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we have derived new results for the hybrid synchronization of identical Lorenz-
Stenflo systems (2001), identical Qi systems (2005) and non-identical Lorenz-Stenflo and Qi
systems with unknown parameters via adaptive control method. The hybrid synchronization
results derived in this paper are established using Lyapunov stability theory. Since the
Lyapunov exponents are not required for these calculations, the adaptive control method is a
very effective and convenient for achieving hybrid chaos synchronization for the uncertain 4-D
chaotic systems discussed in this paper. Numerical simulations are shown to demonstrate the
effectiveness of the adaptive synchronization schemes derived in this paper for the hybrid chaos
synchronization of identical and non-identical uncertain Lorenz-Stenflo and Qi systems.
