Asymptotical synchronization of Lur'e systems using network reliable control

This paper presents the synchronization criteria for two identical delayed chaotic Lur'e systems. Here, we employ network reliable feedback control for achieving synchronization between our considered systems. The advantage of the employed controller lies in the fact that it even works in the case of actuator or sensor failures, which may occur in many real-world situations. By introducing an improved Lyapunov-Krasovskii (L-K) functional and by using reciprocally convex technique, sufficient conditions are given in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to ensure asymptotic stability of resulting synchronization error system. Numerical simulations of neural networks and Chua's circuit system are given to verify the effectiveness and less conservatism of the presented theoretical results.
