Robust Synchronization of Class Chaotic Systems Using Novel Time-Varying Gain Disturbance Observer-Based Sliding Mode Control by Yang Wang, Zhen Wang, Lingyun Kong

“…Although the observation and control precision of conventional fixed gain disturbance observer-based control (FGDOC) for chaotic systems can be guaranteed by a high observer gain, the undesirable spike problem may be caused by the high gain if the initial values of estimate and true states are not equal. The most attractive feature of this work is that the newly proposed TVGDO can eliminate the spike problem by developing a time-varying gain scheme. …”
