Optimal synchronization of two different in‐commensurate fractional‐order chaotic systems with fractional cost function

This article investigates the optimal synchronization of two different fractional‐order chaotic systems with two kinds of cost function. We use calculus of variations for minimizing cost function subject to synchronization error dynamics. We introduce optimal control problem to solve fractional Euler–Lagrange equations. Optimal control signal and minimum time of synchronization are obtained by proposed method. Examples show the optimal synchronization of two different systems with two different cost functions. First, we use an ordinary integer cost function then we use a fractional‐order cost function and comparing the results. Finally, we suggest a cost function which has the optimal solution of this problem, and we can extend this solution to solve other synchronization problems. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A note on phase synchronization in coupled chaotic fractional order systems

The dynamic behaviors of fractional order systems have received increasing attention in recent years. This paper addresses the reliable phase synchronization problem between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. An active nonlinear feedback control scheme is constructed to achieve phase synchronization between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. We investigated the necessary conditions for fractional order Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems to exhibit chaotic attractor similar to their integer order counterpart. Then, based on the stability results of fractional order systems, sufficient conditions for phase synchronization of the fractional models of Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems are derived. The synchronization scheme that is simple and global enables synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems to be achieved without the computation of the conditional Lyapunov exponents. Numerical simulations are performed to assess the performance of the presented analysis.     

Synchronization of different fractional order chaotic systems using active control

Synchronization of fractional order chaotic dynamical systems is receiving increasing attention owing to its interesting applications in secure communications of analog and digital signals and cryptographic systems. In this article we utilize active control technique to synchronize different fractional order chaotic dynamical systems. Further we investigate the interrelationship between the (fractional) order and synchronization in different chaotic dynamical systems. It is observed that synchronization is faster as the order tends to one.     

Synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems using active control method

In this article, the active control method is used for synchronization of two different pairs of fractional order systems with Lotka–Volterra chaotic system as the master system and the other two fractional order chaotic systems, viz., Newton–Leipnik and Lorenz systems as slave systems separately. The fractional derivative is described in Caputo sense. Numerical simulation results which are carried out using Adams–Bashforth–Moulton method show that the method is easy to implement and reliable for synchronizing the two nonlinear fractional order chaotic systems while it also allows both the systems to remain in chaotic states. A salient feature of this analysis is the revelation that the time for synchronization increases when the system-pair approaches the integer order from fractional order for Lotka–Volterra and Newton–Leipnik systems while it reduces for the other concerned pair.     

Stabilizing periodic orbits of fractional order chaotic systems via linear feedback theory

In this paper stabilizing unstable periodic orbits (UPO) in a chaotic fractional order system is studied. Firstly, a technique for finding unstable periodic orbits in chaotic fractional order systems is stated. Then by applying this technique to the fractional van der Pol and fractional Duffing systems as two demonstrative examples, their unstable periodic orbits are found. After that, a method is presented for stabilization of the discovered UPOs based on the theories of stability of linear integer order and fractional order systems. Finally, based on the proposed idea a linear feedback controller is applied to the systems and simulations are done for demonstration of controller performance.     

Phase and anti-phase synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems via active control

Adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control for synchronization of uncertain fractional order chaotic systems

This paper deals with chaos synchronization between two different uncertain fractional order chaotic systems based on adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control (AFSMC). With the definition of fractional derivatives and integrals, a fuzzy Lyapunov synthesis approach is proposed to tune free parameters of the adaptive fuzzy controller on line by output feedback control law and adaptive law. Moreover, chattering phenomena in the control efforts can be reduced. The sliding mode design procedure not only guarantees the stability and robustness of the proposed AFSMC, but also the external disturbance on the synchronization error can be attenuated. The simulation example is included to confirm validity and synchronization performance of the advocated design methodology.     

On chaos control and synchronization of the commensurate fractional order Liu system

In this work, we study chaos control and synchronization of the commensurate fractional order Liu system. Based on the stability theory of fractional order systems, the conditions of local stability of nonlinear three-dimensional commensurate fractional order systems are discussed. The existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of commensurate fractional order Liu systems are investigated. We also obtain the necessary condition for the existence of chaotic attractors in the commensurate fractional order Liu system. The effect of fractional order on chaos control of this system is revealed by showing that the commensurate fractional order Liu system is controllable just in the fractional order case when using a specific choice of controllers. Moreover, we achieve chaos synchronization between the commensurate fractional order Liu system and its integer order counterpart via function projective synchronization. Numerical simulations are used to verify the analytical results.     

A chaotic secure communication scheme using fractional chaotic systems based on an extended fractional Kalman filter

In recent years chaotic secure communication and chaos synchronization have received ever increasing attention. In this paper, for the first time, a fractional chaotic communication method using an extended fractional Kalman filter is presented. The chaotic synchronization is implemented by the EFKF design in the presence of channel additive noise and processing noise. Encoding chaotic communication achieves a satisfactory, typical secure communication scheme. In the proposed system, security is enhanced based on spreading the signal in frequency and encrypting it in time domain. In this paper, the main advantages of using fractional order systems, increasing nonlinearity and spreading the power spectrum are highlighted. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, a numerical example based on the fractional Lorenz dynamical system is presented and the results are compared to the integer Lorenz system.     

Generation of multi-wing chaotic attractor in fractional order system

In this paper, a novel approach is proposed for generating multi-wing chaotic attractors from the fractional linear differential system via nonlinear state feedback controller equipped with a duality-symmetric multi-segment quadratic function. The main idea is to design a proper nonlinear state feedback controller by using four construction criterions from a fundamental fractional differential nominal linear system, so that the controlled fractional differential system can generate multi-wing chaotic attractors. It is the first time in the literature to report the multi-wing chaotic attractors from an uncoupled fractional differential system. Furthermore, some basic dynamical analysis and numerical simulations are also given, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Image encryption based on synchronization of fractional chaotic systems

This paper deals with a synchronization scheme for two fractional chaotic systems which is applied in image encryption. Based on Pecora and Carroll (PC) synchronization, fractional-order Lorenz-like system forms a master–slave configuration, and the sufficient conditions are derived to realize synchronization between these two systems via the Laplace transformation theory. An image encryption algorithm is introduced where the original image is encoded by a nonlinear function of a fractional chaotic state. Simulation results show that the original image is well masked in the cipher texts and recovered successfully through chaotic signals. Further, the cryptanalysis is conducted in detail through histogram, information entropy, key space and sensitivity to verify the high security.     

Synchronization of nonlinear fractional order systems

This paper deals with the master-slave synchronization scheme for partially known nonlinear fractional order systems, where the unknown dynamics is considered as the master system and we propose the slave system structure which estimates the unknown state variables. For solving this problem we introduce a Fractional Algebraic Observability (FAO) property which is used as a main tool in the design of the master system. As numerical examples we consider a fractional order Rössler hyperchaotic system and a fractional order Lorenz chaotic system and by means of some simulations we show the effectiveness of the suggested approach.

Adaptive synchronization of new fractional‐order chaotic systems with fractional adaption laws based on risk analysis

In this paper, a new fractional‐order chaotic system and an adaptive synchronization of fractional‐order chaotic system are proposed. Parameters adaption laws are obtained to design adaptive controllers using Lyapunov stability theory of fractional‐order system. Finally, reliability of designed controllers and risk analysis of adaptive synchronization problem are formulated and, risk of using the proposed controllers in presences of external disturbances are demonstrated. Also, risk of controllers are reduced using an optimizing method. Numerical examples are used to verify the performance of the proposed controllers.     

Hyperchaos in fractional order nonlinear systems

We numerically investigate hyperchaotic behavior in an autonomous nonlinear system of fractional order. It is demonstrated that hyperchaotic behavior of the integer order nonlinear system is preserved when the order becomes fractional. The system under study has been reported in the literature [Murali K, Tamasevicius A, Mykolaitis G, Namajunas A, Lindberg E. Hyperchaotic system with unstable oscillators. Nonlinear Phenom Complex Syst 3(1);2000:7–10], and consists of two nonlinearly coupled unstable oscillators, each consisting of an amplifier and an LC resonance loop. The fractional order model of this system is obtained by replacing one or both of its capacitors by fractional order capacitors. Hyperchaos is then assessed by studying the Lyapunov spectrum. The presence of multiple positive Lyapunov exponents in the spectrum is indicative of hyperchaos. Using the appropriate system control parameters, it is demonstrated that hyperchaotic attractors are obtained for a system order less than 4. Consequently, we present a conjecture that fourth-order hyperchaotic nonlinear systems can still produce hyperchaotic behavior with a total system order of 3 + ε, where 1 > ε > 0.

Synchronization of chaotic systems with parameter driven by a chaotic signal

Chaos control with driving parameter scheme in uncoupled identical chaotic oscillators is presented. By driving the parameter of chaotic systems using external chaotic signal, synchronization and anti-synchronization can be implemented. Numerical simulations show that either synchronization or anti-synchronization can appear depending significantly on initial condition and on driving strength. The proposed method is particularly suited for a variety of chaotic systems, which cannot couple with each other in engineering.
