Synchronization of Fractional-Order Complex Chaotic Systems Based on Observers

Abstract

By designing a state observer, a new type of synchronization named complex modified projective synchronization is investigated in a class of nonlinear fractional-order complex chaotic systems. Combining stability results of the fractional-order systems and the pole placement method, this paper proves the stability of fractional-order error systems and realizes complex modified projective synchronization. This method is so effective that it can be applied in engineering. Additionally, the proposed synchronization strategy is suitable for all fractional-order chaotic systems, including fractional-order hyper-chaotic systems. Finally, two numerical examples are studied to show the correctness of this new synchronization strategy.
