During the past several years, considerable attention has been paid to the robust
synchronization analysis and synthesis problems of dynamical chaotic systems (please see
[1] and references therein). As various unexpected factors will disturb the systems in
practical applications, many efforts have been made to obtain the synchronization of
systems in the cases of time-delays [2–9], deteriorated couplings [10–13], nonlinear
couplings [14–22], uncertainties and disturbances [23–31], etc.
For the sake of eliminating the effects of those factors for synchronization of dynamical
chaotic systems, the controlled synchronization has become a rather significant topic
nowadays. There are several approache s to obtain con troller gains such as linear matrix
inequality (LMI) approach [2–5,16,11–13,18–21], adaptive approach [6,11–13,18–21],
backstepping approach [25], slide-mode approach [26–35] . As the ability of robustness and
insensitivity to withstand certa in types external disturbances and model uncertainties, the
slide-mode control method has been implemented successfully by many studi es to solve the
robust synchronization problem of chaotic systems [26–31]. Indeed, some of studies
designed slide-mode controllers relying on adaptive technique, which has properties of
quick and automatic response for estimating of unknown parameters at each instant. An
adaptive sliding-mode observer design method was propo sed to synchronize chaotic
systems with known bound perturbations in [26]. The adaptive sliding- mode technique was
also utilized in [27] to ensure that the slave chao tic systems with uncertainties can
synchronize with the master system accurately. The paper [28] presented an ad aptive
terminal sliding mode control method for synchronization subject to input nonlinearities
between two identical attractors.
It should be noted that the fault -tolerant control (FTC) problem has not been seriously
considered in the existing ch aotic system designs. In the traditional designs of FTC
systems, actuator and sensor faults have been usually addressed in the linear or nonl inear
multi-inputs and multi-outputs systems (see for example [36–38]). However, in the
networked chaotic systems, beyond considering the actuator and sensor faults, an especial
FTC design for the faults of coupled networks should be rigorously attended. There are
several network faults in the couplings such as random link failures (like package loss) [39],
network deterioration [10–13] and the fault of losing effectiveness in the process of
networked transmission which named as signal attenuations [40,41]. Note that the above
mentioned network faults are broadly existed in secure communications, formation of
unmanned aerial vehicl e (UAV) team, the world wide web (WWW). However, few efforts
have been made to consider the synchronization behavior of networked chaotic systems
with signal attenuations and network deterioration. The related studies about signal
attenuations can be found in the designs of large scale interconnected systems. Lossy
interconnection links (signal attenuations) were considered in [40] of distributed systems by
using LMI-based methods. The recent paper [41] proposed an indirect adaptive method to
deal with the asymptotic synchronization problem of master–slave large-scale systems with
bias actuators and network attenuations of communications. But the method proposed in
[41] utilizes large computational resource for estimating many control parameters by using
adaptive laws. Thus, more effectively methods for asymptotic synchronization of chaotic
systems against signal attenuations need to be further studied.
For the case of network deterioration, the recent paper [10] proposed a discrete-time
consensus protocol to deal with the convergence speed problem of switching random networks.
