Fuzzy adaptive synchronization of a class of fractional-order chaotic systems

This paper deals with the issue of projective synchronization of two distinct fractional-order chaotic systems with the presence of both uncertain dynamics and external disturbances. More precisely, this study is an attempt to investigate a novel fuzzy adaptive controller for achieving an appropriate projective synchronization of uncertain fractional-order chaotic systems. The adaptive fuzzy systems are utilized to online estimate unknown system nonlinearities. The proposed controller, which is derived based on a Lyapunov approach, is continuous and ensures the stability of the closed-loop system and the exponential convergence of the underlying synchronization errors to a small residual set. Finally, a simulation example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization method.
