Observer-based synchronization for a class of fractional chaotic systems via a scalar signal: Results involving the exact solution of the error dynamics

摘要

This paper deals with chaos synchronization for a class of fractional-order systems characterized by one nonlinearity. In particular, an observer-based approach is illustrated, which presents two remarkable features: (i) it provides an exact analytical solution of the fractional error dynamics, written in terms of Mittag-Leffler function; (ii) it enables synchronization to be achieved using a scalar transmitted signal. Finally, a synchronization example based on fractional Chua's system is illustrated, with the aim to show the capabilities of the developed approach.
