Observer based projective reduced-order synchronization of different chaotic systems

The projective reduced-order synchronization of two different chaotic systems with different orders is investigated based on the observer design in this paper.According to the observer theory,the reduced-order observer is designed.The projective synchronization can be realized by choosing the transition matrix of the observer as a diagonal matrix.Further,the synchronization between hyperchaotic Chen system(fourth order)and Rssler system(third order)is taken as the example to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed observer.Numerical simulations confirm the effectiveness of the method.
