This paper introduces a new symmetric fractional-order discrete system. The dynamics and symmetry of the suggested model are studied under two initial conditions, mainly a comparison of the commensurate order and incommensurate order maps, which highlights their effect on symmetry-breaking bifurcations. In addition, a theoretical analysis examines the stability of the zero equilibrium point. It proves that the map generates typical nonlinear features, including chaos, which is confirmed numerically: phase attractors are plotted in a two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) space, bifurcation diagrams are drawn with variations in the derivative fractional values and in the system parameters, and we calculate the Maximum Lyapunov Exponents (MLEs) associated with the bifurcation diagram. Additionally, we use the C0 algorithm and entropy approach to measure the complexity of the chaotic symmetric fractional map. Finally, nonlinear 3D controllers are revealed to stabilize the symmetric fractional order map’s states in commensurate and incommensurate cases.
