Soliton solutions for the space-time nonlinear partial differential equations with fractional-orders

Many practical models in interdisciplinary fields can be described with the help of fractional-order nonlinear partial differential equations(NPDEs). Fractional-order NPDEs such as the space-time fractional Fokas equation, the space-time Kaup–Kupershmidt equation and the space-time fractional (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation have been widely applied in many branches of science and engineering. So, finding exact traveling wave solutions are very helpful in the theories and numerical studies of such equations. More precisely, fractional sub-equation method together with the proposed technique is implemented to obtain exact traveling wave solutions of such physical models involving Jumarie’s modified Riemann–Liouville derivative. As a result, some new exact traveling wave solutions for them are successfully established. Also, (1+1)-dimensional plots and 1-dimensional plots of some of the derived solutions are given to visualize the dynamics of the considered NPDEs. The obtained results reveal that the proposed technique is quite effective and convenient for obtaining exact solutions of NPDEs with fractional-order.     

Attempt to generalize fractional-order electric elements to complex-order ones

The complex derivative D~(α±jβ), with α, β∈ R+ is a generalization of the concept of integer derivative, where α = 1,β = 0. Fractional-order electric elements and circuits are becoming more and more attractive. In this paper, the complexorder electric elements concept is proposed for the first time, and the complex-order elements are modeled and analyzed.Some interesting phenomena are found that the real part of the order affects the phase of output signal, and the imaginary part affects the amplitude for both the complex-order capacitor and complex-order memristor. More interesting is that the complex-order capacitor can do well at the time of fitting electrochemistry impedance spectra. The complex-order memristor is also analyzed. The area inside the hysteresis loops increases with the increasing of the imaginary part of the order and decreases with the increasing of the real part. Some complex case of complex-order memristors hysteresis loops are analyzed at last, whose loop has touching points beyond the origin of the coordinate system.

The proposed control method is simple, robust, and theoretically rigorous, and its anti-noise performance is satisfactory. Numerical simulations are given for several fractional chaotic systems to verify the effectiveness and the universality of the proposed control method.     

A mathematical analysis: From memristor to fracmemristor

The memristor is also a basic electronic component, just like resistors, capacitors and inductors. It is a nonlinear device with memory characteristics. In 2008, with HP's announcement of the discovery of the TiO₂ memristor, the new memristor system, memory capacitor (memcapacitor) and memory inductor (meminductor) were derived. Fractional-order calculus has the characteristics of non-locality, weak singularity and long term memory which traditional integer-order calculus does not have, and can accurately portray or model real-world problems better than the classic integer-order calculus. In recent years, researchers have extended the modeling method of memristor by fractional calculus, and proposed the fractional-order memristor, but its concept is not unified. This paper reviews the existing memristive elements, including integer-order memristor systems and fractional-order memristor systems. We analyze their similarities and differences, give the derivation process, circuit schematic diagrams, and an outlook on the development direction of fractional-order memristive elements.     

Finite-time synchronization of uncertain fractional-order multi-weighted complex networks with external disturbances via adaptive quantized control

The finite-time synchronization of fractional-order multi-weighted complex networks (FMCNs) with uncertain parameters and external disturbances is studied. Firstly, based on fractional calculus characteristics and Lyapunov stability theory, quantized controllers are designed to guarantee that FMCNs can achieve synchronization in a limited time with and without coupling delay, respectively. Then, appropriate parameter update laws are obtained to identify the uncertain parameters in FMCNs. Finally, numerical simulation examples are given to validate the correctness of the theoretical results.     

Finite-time Mittag—Leffler synchronization of fractional-order complex-valued memristive neural networks with time delay

Without dividing the complex-valued systems into two real-valued ones, a class of fractional-order complex-valued memristive neural networks (FCVMNNs) with time delay is investigated. Firstly, based on the complex-valued sign function, a novel complex-valued feedback controller is devised to research such systems. Under the framework of Filippov solution, differential inclusion theory and Lyapunov stability theorem, the finite-time Mittag—Leffler synchronization (FTMLS) of FCVMNNs with time delay can be realized. Meanwhile, the upper bound of the synchronization settling time (SST) is less conservative than previous results. In addition, by adjusting controller parameters, the global asymptotic synchronization of FCVMNNs with time delay can also be realized, which improves and enrich some existing results. Lastly, some simulation examples are designed to verify the validity of conclusions.     

Synchronization of the fractional-order generalized augmented Lii system and its circuit implementation

In this paper, the synchronization of the fractional-order generalized augmented Lti system is investigated. Based on the predictor--corrector method, we obtain phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponent spectra, and Poincar6 maps of the fractional-order system and find that a four-wing chaotic attractor exists in the system when the system pa- rameters change within certain ranges. Further, by varying the system parameters, rich dynamical behaviors occur in the 2.7-order system. According to the stability theory of a fractional-order linear system, and adopting the linearization by feedback method, we have designed a nonlinear feedback controller in our theoretical analysis to implement the synchro- nization of the drive system with the response system. In addition, the synchronization is also shown by an electronic circuit implementation for the 2.7-order system. The obtained experiment results accord with the theoretical analyses, which further demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme.

In this paper, we investigate the stabilization of an incommensurate fractional order chaotic systems and propose a modified adaptive-feedback controller for the incommensurate fractional order chaos control based on the Lyapunov stability theory, the fractional order differential inequality and the adaptive control theory. The present controller, which only contains a single state variable, is simple both in design and in implementation. The simulation results for several fractional order chaotic systems are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

A no-chattering sliding mode control strategy for a class of fractional-order chaotic systems is proposed in this paper. First, the sliding mode control law is derived to stabilize the states of the commensurate fractional-order chaotic system and the non-commensurate fractional-order chaotic system, respectively. The designed control scheme guarantees the asymptotical stability of an uncertain fractional-order chaotic system. Simulation results are given for several fractional-order chaotic examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
