Abstract

In this paper, using an optimal observer-based super-twisting approach, a modified projective and transmission synchronization in the presence of uncertainty and disturbance signals is investigated for multiple chaotic systems involving one drive system and two response systems. First, in order to estimate the uncertain terms along with quickly deal with the disturbance signals, an optimal finite-time super-twisting observer is designed. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, a finite-time controller is then developed to ensure the chaos synchronization by converging observer error systems to zero. The proposed control law can be applied in chaotic secure communication systems to increase security. Additionally, we introduce the cascade inclusion method, which is more secure in comparison with previous approaches, for secure communication applications. Finally, the numerical simulations in comparison with related works are provided. The simulation results illustrate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed control approach in the presence of uncertainty and disturbances.
