The control signal magnitude and energy are among the limiting and therefore important factors to be addressed in the practical applications of a synchronization scheme. In this paper, we present an algorithm to find control parameters in an active sliding mode controller in order to reduce the control effort in synchronizing non-identical chaotic systems. We also determine uncertainties bound on the systems dynamics for which the calculated control parameters still guarantee the occurrence of the sliding motion of the error states. The proposed controller was practically applied on an experimental setup, consisting of two chaotic circuits, which resembles Chen and Lu systems behavior....
