Speed-accelerating method for the control of mobile chaotic agents

In this paper, we propose a speed-accelerating method (SAM) for synchronization control of networked mobile chaotic agents. This method is based on the framework of connection adaption strategy (CAS) which is considered to be a simpler scheme than commonly used coupling adaption strategies. Our proposed method is shown to be able to lift the constrain in the CAS and the performance of the control is systematically enhanced. The mechanism of the SAM has been carefully analyzed. It is found that the agents’ motion speed could be classified into two regimes. The underlying mechanisms of the SAM that drive the network into synchronization in the two regimes are shown to be different with detailed elaborations.
