Chaotic behavior of a class of discontinuous dynamical systems of fractional-order

摘要

In this paper, the chaos persistence in a class of discontinuous dynamical systems of fractional-order is analyzed. To that end, the initial value problem is first transformed, by using the Filippov regularization (Filippov in Differential Equations with Discontinuous Right-Hand Sides, 1988), into a set-valued problem of fractional-order, then by Cellina's approximate selection theorem (Aubin and Cellina in Differential Inclusions Set-valued Maps and Viability Theory, 1984; Aubin and Frankowska in Set-valued Analysis, 1990). The problem is approximated into a single-valued fractional-order problem, which is numerically solved by using a numerical scheme proposed by Diethelm et al. (Nonlinear Dyn. 29:3-22, 2002). Two typical examples of systems belonging to this class are analyzed and simulated.
