An eight-term 3-D novel chaotic system with three quadratic nonlinearities, its adaptive feedback control and synchronization

This research work describes an eight-term 3-D novel polynomial chaotic system consisting of three quadratic nonlinearities. First, this work presents the 3-D dynamics of the novel chaotic system and depicts the phase portraits of the system. Next, the qualitative properties of the novel chaotic system are discussed in detail. The novel chaotic system has four equilibrium points. We show that two equilibrium points are saddle points and the other equilibrium points are saddle-foci. The Lyapunov exponents of the novel chaotic system are obtained as L1 = 0.4715, L2 = 0 and L3 = -2.4728. The Lyapunov dimension of the novel chaotic system is obtained as DL = 2.1907. Next, we present the design of adaptive feedback controller for globally stabilizing the trajectories of the novel chaotic system with unknown parameters. Furthermore, we present the design of adaptive feedback controller for achieving complete synchronization of the identical novel chaotic systems with unknown parameters. The main adaptive control results are proved using Lyapunov stability theory. MATLAB simulations are depicted to illustrate all the main results derived in this research work for eight-term 3-D novel chaotic system. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.
