“…Some of the methods applied in chaos control and synchronization have been extended to hyperchaos control and synchronization. These include linear and nonlinear feedback control/synchronization [13,14,18,19,24,25,27], adaptive control/synchronization [16,[27][28][29][30][31][32], backstepping techniques [12,17], lag control/synchronization [20,21], active control [22], impulsive synchronization [23], sliding mode synchronization [26], and the Pecora-Carroll method [27]. Despite the numerous advantages inherent in the backstepping techniques as discussed earlier, its application in hyperchaos control and synchronization has not been adequately investigated.…”
