On the solution of fractional differential equations using Atangana’s beta derivative and its applications in chaotic systems

Abstract

In this research, we examine the solution of ordinary fractional differential equations using Atangana’s beta derivative. Our approach is divided into two parts. First, we establish conditions under which the fractional differential equation has a unique solution. Next, we develop a numerical technique based on the Adams–Bashforth method and demonstrate its convergence. We then apply the numerical method to a test example to evaluate its efficacy. Finally, we analyze three nonlinear chaotic and hyperchaotic fractional dynamical systems, calculating the strange attractors for various fractional orders. We analyzed the fractional chaotic systems and showed that by changing the order of the fractional derivative, some properties of the system change, such as the area of the chaos attracting region.
