Robust Synchronization Controller Design for a Class of Uncertain Fractional Order Chaotic Systems

Synchronization problem for a class of uncertain fractional order chaotic systems is studied. Some fundamental lemmas are given to show the boundedness of a complicated infinite series which is produced by differentiating a quadratic Lyapunov function with fractional order. By using the fractional order extension of the Lyapunov stability criterion and the proposed lemma, stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed, and two sufficient conditions, which can enable the synchronization error to converge to zero asymptotically, are driven. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to confirm the proposed theoretical results.
