Design of an intelligent prediction-based neural network controller for multi-scroll chaotic systems

An indispensable part of the precise control of multi-scroll chaotic systems, model identification has received increasing attention in recent years. Because of plant uncertainty and unmodeled dynamics, conventional control methods cannot guarantee a sufficiently high-performance for stabilizing multi-scroll chaotic systems. In an effort to tackle the matter better, we propose an intelligent controller called the adaptive neural network prediction-based controller (NN-PbC ). The specified neural network is trained with the system model, which is extracted from a time series. In actual practice, the data are divided into two sets. One set is used for training and the other set for testing. In fact, a generalized NN will perform well for both training and testing data. The prediction-based control method is then applied to the obtained neural network model to stabilize the multiple equilibrium points. The stability of the closed-loop system is proven. In addition, simulation examples on two typical multi-scroll chaotic systems are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
