“…Since the chaos control and synchronization was first introduced by Pecora and Carroll, [1,2] it has been an active research topic in nonlinear science, and has been extensively studied. In the past two decades, a variety of approaches have been proposed for the chaos synchronization, including manifold-based method, [3] adaptive method, [4] time delay feedback approach, [5] backstepping method, [6] nonlinear control scheme [7,8] and many others. Recently, the concept of passivity [9] of nonlinear systems has aroused the new interest in nonlinear control field.…”
