Based on the Gershgorin theorem and Routh-Hurwitz criterion, sufficient algebraic conditions are derived to design a linear controller gain matrix. The conditions are then applied for the robust stability of the synchronization error dynamics in the presence of an unknown bounded smooth external disturbance. The proposed active control strategy with a suitable computation of the linear controller gain matrix is simple in design and establishes fast convergence rates of the synchronization error signals. Numerical simulation results further verified the analytical results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems4010002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,28]],"date-time":"2015-12-28T10:01:20Z","timestamp":1451296880000},"page":"2","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A Research on Active Control to Synchronize a New 3D Chaotic System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Israr","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Quantitative Sciences, College of Arts &amp; Sciences, Saintok, Keddha 06010, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Azizan","family":"Saaban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Quantitative Sciences, College of Arts &amp; Sciences, Saintok, Keddha 06010, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adyda","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Quantitative Sciences, College of Arts &amp; Sciences, Saintok, Keddha 06010, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2632-990X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad","family":"Shahzad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Applied Sciences Nizwa, Ministry of Higher Education, Nizwa 611, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"34","article-title":"Robust stabilization and nominal performance of the flight control system for small UAV","volume":"3","author":"Tunik","year":"2004","journal-title":"Appl.
