1. Introduction In 1963, Lorenz [1] found the first classical chaotic attractor in a three-dimensional autonomous system derived form a simplified model of earth atmospheric convection system. As the first chaotic model, the Lorenz system has became a paradigm of chaos research. In 1999, Chen found another similar but topologically not equivalent chaotic attractor [2], as the dual of the Lorenz system. In 2002, Lu¨ et al. [3,4] found a new chaotic system, bearing the name of the Lu¨ system, which bridges the gap between the Lorenz and Chen attractors and then presented a unified chaotic system based on three typical chaotic systems: Lorenz system, Chen system, and Lu¨ system. Afterward, Lu¨ et al. [4] analyzed the stability of synchronization chaotic solution of linear coupled unified systems and attained some sufficient conditions for global synchronization by using a method to decompose the coupled system and estimate the maximum characteristic root. Since then, various researchers have investigated the linearly coupled synchronization problems of the aforementioned unified chaotic systems. This coupling configuration is a bidirectional coupling [5] when both systems are connected in such a way that they mutually influence each other’s behavior. This situation typically occurs in physiology, e.g. between cardiac and respiratory systems or between interacting neurons or in nonlinear optics, e.g. coupled laser systems with feedback. On the contrary, when the evolution of one of the coupled systems is unaltered *

by the coupling, the resulting configuration is called unidirectional coupling or drive – response coupling [5]. Typical examples are communication with chaos. Recently, there are some results reported about the linearly bidirectional coupled unified systems, such as the work of Li et al. [6] derived some sufficient conditions for asymptotic synchronization of the system by mathematical theory that is similar Lyapunov method and Park [7] also derived a stability criterion for asymptotic synchronization by using the Lyapunov stability and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) framework. Besides, Wang et al. [8] designed a passive controller for synchronization of unidirectional y-coupled unified chaotic systems on the basis of the property of the passive system in 2007. This paper considers the synchronization of linearly unidirectional and bidirectional coupled unified chaotic systems. Balanced coupling coefficients of linearly coupled unified systems are derived using the Lyapunov stability theorem and the minimum scheme [9]. The derived results give only sufficient conditions for synchronization of system. Thus, we can minimize balanced coupling coefficients further with respect to variables of the Lyapunov candidate function. Compared with the above results, the sum of coupling coefficients is smaller than that obtained by solving the LMI in Ref. [7]. Furthermore, balanced coupling coefficients with constrains are considered to deal with the problem of gain saturation. The proposed balance coupling coefficients with no constrains/constrains scheme has the advantage that the relative minimum coupled coefficients can be obtained in the analytic form without predetermining them to check the stability criterion. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated via its application to the synchronization of Chen’s chaotic system.
2. Controller design under gain constrains In this section, a systematic design process of chaos synchronization of linearly coupled unified systems is provided based on linear balanced feedback scheme with constraint conditions. The idea of linear balanced feedback control with constraints is to choose a suitable set of linear feedback gains d i minimizing a function f ðd 1 ; d 2 ; . . . ; d n ) subject to r independent constraints in the form of gj ðd 1 ; d 2 ; . . . ; d n Þ ¼ 0; j ¼ 1; . . . ; r. Consider the following nonlinear differential equations that describe the unified chaotic system, as unidirectional coupled system for j ¼ 1 and bidirectional coupled system for j ¼ 2, are x_ ¼ Ax þ FðxÞ þ ðj 1Þu; y_ ¼ Ay þ FðyÞ u;
ð1Þ
where x ¼ ½x1 x2 . . . xn T 2 Rn and y ¼ ½y 1 y 2 . . . y n T 2 Rn are the state vector, A 2 Rnn is a constant matrix, F is a continuous nonlinear function, and u ¼ De is a coupling coefficient function, in which D ¼ diagfd 1 ; d 2 ; . . . ; d r ; . . . ; d n g is a diagonal matrix and e ¼ y x ¼ ½e1 e2 . . . en T is the state error. D is composed of two parts: one part where coupling coefficients under no saturation constraints, the other part where coupling coefficients d 1 ; . . . ; d r under the saturation constraints d j 6 sj ; j ¼ 1; . . . ; r, i.e., gj ¼ sj d j mnþj ¼ 0:
ð2Þ
That means 0 6 mnþj ¼ sj d j 6 sj ;
j ¼ 1; . . . ; r:

Assuming that the following condition is held: Fðx þ eÞ FðxÞ ¼ Je þ FðeÞ

is the Jacobian matrix evaluated at y ¼ x. In fact, most of chaotic systems can be where J ¼ oFðyÞ=oyjy¼x 2 R described by (1) and (4), which will be further illustrated by an example in Section 3. From Eq. (1) to Eq. (4) the error dynamics for the system have the form e_ ¼ Be þ FðeÞ

and the matrix P 2 Rnn is a positive definite matrix, then V ðeÞ is a positive definite function. The derivative of the Lyapunov function along the trajectory of system (5): V_ ¼ e_ T Pe þ eT P_e ¼ eT ðBT P þ PBÞe þ ðFT Pe þ eT PFÞ ¼ eT Qe 6 ET ME; nn
is a positive definite matrix of variables x, and M 2 R where Q 2 R If there exists a positive definite matrix P such as

is a positive definite matrix.
FT Pe ¼ eT PF ¼ 0;
ð8Þ
i.e., the higher order terms of variables e in Eq. (7) vanish, then it is a global synchronization problem. Assuming that the parameters of coupled unified chaotic system are known and the states of both systems are measurable. One may achieve the synchronization by selecting a set of linear feedback gains D to make the matrix M is a positive definite function. The steps involved in the balanced coupling coefficient design procedure are summarized in the following. Initially, the coupling coefficients d i are derived from the positive definite matrix M: An assumption is made that all the principal minor determinants corresponding to the symmetric matrix M conform to Di ¼ jM ii j ¼ mi > 0;
i ¼ 1; 2; . . . ; n;
ð9Þ
where mi are independent variables. Solving Eq. (9) gives d i ¼ S i ðm1 ; m2 ; . . . ; mi Þ;
i ¼ 1; 2; . . . ; n;
ð10Þ
and od i –0; omi
od j ¼ 0; omi
j ¼ 1; 2; . . . ; i 1;
i ¼ 1; 2; . . . ; n:
ð11Þ
In the second step of the coefficient design process, the sum of the coupling coefficients under saturation conditions is minimized, i.e., f ¼ Minðd 1 þ . . . þ d n Þ takes on a minimum value under the independent constraints gj ¼ sj d j mnþj ¼ 0. The third step of the design process involves identifying the minima of the functions describing specific variables mi . One would form the auxiliary function r X kj gj ðmnþj Þ; ð12Þ uðm1 ; . . . ; mnþr Þ ¼ f ðm1 ; . . . ; mn Þ þ j¼1
where k1 ; . . . ; kr are unknown constants called Lagrange multipliers, mnþj will be specified, and write down the necessary conditions for rendering u a relative minimum with no constraints as follows: umi ¼
ou ¼ 0; omi
i ¼ 1; . . . ; n at pðm1 ; m2 . . . ; mn Þ:
ð13Þ
Substitute solution in Eq. (13) into the following constraint conditions to determine kj . ukj ¼
ou ¼ 0; okj
j ¼ 1; . . . ; r:
ð14Þ
Thus, finally, the desired point p can be found such that f can have a minimum value with constraints. We know the desired point p subject to mnþj in Eq. (3) is restricted to a region R with a finite boundary. Hence, it may happen that an extreme value is taken on a boundary point where umnþj is differ from zero for j ¼ 1; . . . ; r. In order to locate an absolute minimum in a finite region, it is necessary to explore all these possibilities.

where z is a state vector of the system, A is the matrix of the system parameter, and FðxÞ is the nonlinear part of the system as follows: 3 2 3 2 3 2 0 ð25a þ 10Þ 25a þ 10 0 z1 7 6 7 6 7 6 29a 1 0 z ¼ 4 z2 5; A ¼ 4 28 35a 5; FðzÞ ¼ 4 z1 z3 5; a 2 ½0; 1: 0 0 ð8 þ aÞ=3 z3 z1 z2

The system is chaotic for any a 2 ½0; 1. When a 2 ½0; 0:8Þ, system (1) is called the generalized Lorenz chaotic system; when a ¼ 0:8, it is a Lu¨ chaotic system; whena 2 ð0:8; 1, it is called the generalized Chen chaotic system. Consider the identical unified systems in the form as follows x_ ¼ Ax þ FðxÞ þ ðj 1Þu; y_ ¼ Ay þ FðyÞ u;

The problem of chaos synchronization between linearly coupled chaotic systems can be translated into a problem of how to realize the asymptotical stabilization of the error dynamics (18). So the aim is to design the coupling coefficients d i for stabilizing the error dynamical system (18) at origin. Choose a Lyapunov function candidate as V ¼ eT Pe;

where P ¼ diagfI 1 ; I 2 ; I 3 g is a positive definite matrix such that F Pe ¼ eT PF ¼ 0. For simplification, without loss general, one may choose I 1 ¼ qI 0 and I 2 ¼ I 3 ¼ I 0 where I 0 ; q > 0. The derivative of the Lyapunov function along the trajectory of the system in (18) has the form V_ ¼ e_ T Pe þ eT P_e ¼ eT ðBT P þ PBÞe þ ðFT Pe þ eT PFÞ ¼ eT Qe 6 ET ME

X is the maximum upper bounds of the absolute values of variables x2 and x3 . According to Lyapunov stability theory, the error dynamics (18) is asymptotically stable if V_ is a negative definite function, i.e., the matrix M is a positive definitive matrix. By Sylvester’s theorem, all principal minors of M are strictly positive. We have jd 1 ¼ ðm1 c1 qÞ=ð2qÞ; jd 2 ¼ ðc4 m1 þ ðc23 X Þ2 þ m2 Þ=ð2m1 Þ; jd 3 ¼ ðm3 m1 c5 m1 m2 þ X 2 ðc23 X Þ2 þ X 2 m2 Þ=ð2m1 m2 Þ;
ð21Þ
where m1 ; m2 and m3 are independent positive constants and the case c23 6 0, i.e., q P ð35a 28Þ=ð25a þ 10Þ, is considered.

Then the states of two coupled unified chaotic systems are globally asymptotically synchronized if positive constants m1 ; m2 and m3 exist. According to balanced coefficient design process proposed by Chen [9], the balanced coupling coefficients with no constraints can be obtained by solving the function f ¼ Minfd 1 þ d 2 þ d 3 g. From Eq. (21), it is clear that an extreme þ value of d 3 ðm3 Þ is taken on at a boundary point as m 3 approaches zero, i.e., m3 ¼ 2em2 ; e ! 0 . If fm1 ¼ 0; f m2 ¼ 0 and þ 2 fm1 m1 > 0; f m1 m1 fm2 m2 > fm1 m2 at a point p m1 ; m2 ; 0 , then f has a relative minimum at that point. Thus the values of the desired parameter mi are found to be pffiffiffi ð22Þ m1 ¼ qð2X c23 Þ; m2 ¼ X ðX c23 Þ; m3 ¼ 0þ : The corresponding balanced coupling coefficients are pffiffiffi pffiffiffi jd 1 ¼ ½ð2X c23 Þ= q c1 =2; jd 2 ¼ ½ðX c23 Þ= q c4 =2;
pffiffiffi jd 3 ¼ ðX = q c5 Þ=2 þ e:

In practice, the gain realization often bumps into the problem of gain saturated. Therefore, we will discuss how under the gain saturated limiting condition to choose a suitable set of balanced feedback gains. In designing the balanced coupling coefficients d i with constrains, the method proposed in this study aims to minimize the sum of the coupling coefficients f ¼ d 1 þ d 2 þ d 3 under some saturation conditions in the form of 0 6 d 1 6 s1 and 0 6 d 3 6 s2 . Assuming the independent saturation constraints as: g1 ¼ s1 d 1 m4 ¼ 0 and g2 ¼ s2 d 3 m5 ¼ 0, one would form the auxiliary function u ¼ d 1 þ d 2 þ d 3 þ k1 g1 þ k2 g2 ;

The corresponding minimum values of f with constraints ðd 1 ; d 3 Þ ¼ ðd 1c ; d 3c Þ are shown in the next oq section.
4. Numerical results To verify the proposed method described above for linear balanced feedback scheme with no constraints/constrains, this section chooses Chen’s chaotic system for illustration purposes. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method with no constraints can be demonstrated by comparing the coupling coefficients computed by the present scheme for the Chen’s chaotic systems with those (f ¼ d 1 þ d 2 þ d 3 ¼ 62:03 i.e., d 1 ¼ 7:18; d 2 ¼ 38:68; and d 3 ¼ 16:18Þ obtained by Park [11] using the LMI method. Note that the verification procedure assumes a value of X ¼ 50 for the unified system. When a ¼ 1 and j ¼ 2, Eq. (16) represents bidirectional coupled Chen’s chaotic systems. Fig. 1 reveals that coupling coefficients are changed when q or X is varied. From Eq. (23), Fig. 1a can show that d 1 ¼ 14:5; d 2 ¼ 33:5; and d 3 ¼ 11 i.e., f ¼ 59 where m1 ¼ 128 and m2 ¼ 3900, indicated by ‘‘*’’ for q ¼ 1 and X ¼ 50. When q ¼ 2:66, the sum of the coupling coefficients is minimized further and derived as d 1 ¼ 11:03; d 2 ¼ 34:86; and d 3 ¼ 6:17 i.e., f ¼ 52:06 where m1 ¼ 303 and m2 ¼ 6800 in Fig. 1b–d indicated by ‘‘o’’. For numerical simulation, we assume that initial conditions xð0Þ ¼ ½3 5 7T and yð0Þ ¼ ½4 6 8T are employed. The corresponding synchronization error dynamics of two unified Chen’s chaotic systems rapidly converges to zero as shown in Fig. 2. For j ¼ 1, the numerical results of unidirectional coupled Chen’s chaotic systems are similar (not shown). 1

5. Conclusion This study has investigated the problem of minimizing the sum of the coupling coefficients under saturation conditions for synchronization of two linearly coupled unified chaotic systems. By using the Lyapunov stability theorem and a minimum scheme, appropriate balanced coupling coefficients have been derived to ensure the synchronization of two coupled unified chaotic systems. Furthermore, a minimized controller is designed for chaos synchronization based on the variable of Lyapunov function candidates and balanced coupling coefficients with constraints.
