Abstract

The problem of robust finite-time chaos synchronization between two chaotic nonlinear gyroscopes with model uncertainties, external disturbances and unknown parameters is investigated. Appropriate adaptive laws are derived to tackle the unknown parameters. Based on the adaptive laws and the finite-time control technique, suitable adaptive control laws are designed to ensure the stability of the resulting synchronization error system in a given finite time. Numerical simulations and comparative examples are presented to illustrate the applicability and usefulness of the proposed finite-time control strategy.
