Synchronization Based on Intermittent Sampling: PWL Multiscroll System

Piecewise linear (PWL) systems are characterized by the interaction of continuous and discrete dynamics, leading to a high-level hierarchical decision structure, also known as hybrid systems with nonlinear behavior [1–3]. This type of agent is used in phenomenological modeling, e.g., chemical, climatological, and biological behaviors. One of their characteristic features is the generation of strange attractors, sometimes with multiple scrolls [4–8]. The term multiscroll, coined in the early 1990s, refers to the generation of attractors with more than two scrolls. In this context, the Chua system, with its characteristic double-wing attractor, is the precursor of all these [9].
