PIC micro-controller based synchronization of two fractional order jerk systems

Abstract

Abstract The paper studies a 3D Chaotic Jerk oscillator with fractional derivatives. An approach is proposed to implement it on a PIC16F877A microcontroller in order to reduce the requirements for multiple analogue electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, coils, multipliers, operational amplifiers, which are very bulky and consume a lot of power. The behaviours of the underlying system are analysed analytically, numerically and experimentally. It comes from this analysis that the fractional model exhibits chaotic dynamics when for parameters for which the equivalent integer derivative system exhibits limit-cycles. The synchronization under two closed initial conditions is also studied, highlighting one of the most common applications of the chaos concept.
