Abstract
The adaptive dual synchronization problem of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems with fully uncertain parameters is addressed in this paper. The sufficient conditions for achieving the dual synchronization of two chaotic and hyperchaotic systems are derived based on Lyapunov stability theory. An adaptive controller associated with the parameters update rule is developed to make the states of two chaotic and hyperchaotic systems asymptotically dual synchronized. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are shown to verify the results.
