“…[10] Since Pecora and Carroll [11] proved that chaotic systems could be synchronized and realized a synchronization between chaotic circuits, a wide variety of control strategies have been proposed to synchronize different chaotic systems, such as active control, [12] backstepping control, [13] impulsive control, [14] intermittent control, [15] adaptive control, [16] H ∞ control, [17] projective synchronization, [18] linear matrix inequality techniques, [19] feedback control, [20] fuzzy logic control, [21] state observer control, [22] and passive control. [23] However, in many control schemes, the convergence time cannot be assigned in advance. In other words, the slave system cannot synchronize with the master system within a prespecified convergence time.…”
