ADAPTIVE CONTROL AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF HYPERCHAOTIC NEWTON-LEIPNIK SYSTEM

The hyperchaotic Newton-Leipnik system (Ghosh and Bhattacharya, 2010) is one of the recently discovered four-dimensional hyperchaotic systems. This paper investigates the adaptive control and synchronization of hyperchaotic Newton-Leipnik system with unknown parameters. First, adaptive control laws are designed to stabilize the hyperchaotic Newton-Leipnik system to its unstable equilibrium at the origin based on the adaptive control theory and Lyapunov stability theory. Then adaptive control laws are derived to achieve global chaos synchronization of identical hyperchaotic Newton-Leipnik systems with unknown parameters. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive stabilization and synchronization schemes.
