Exponential stabilization of chaotic systems with delay by periodically intermittent control

This paper studies the exponential stabilization problem for a class of chaotic systems with delay by means of periodically intermittent control. A unified exponential stability criterion, together with its simplified versions, is established by using Lyapunov function and differential inequality techniques. A suboptimal intermittent controller is designed with respect to the general cost function under the assumption that the control period is fixed. Numerical simulations on two chaotic oscillators are presented to verify the theoretical results.
