Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of synchronization of chaotic fractional-order systems with different orders of fractional derivatives. Based on the stability theory of fractional-order linear systems and the idea of tracking control, suitable controllers are correspondingly proposed for two cases: the first is synchronization between two identical chaotic fractional-order systems with different fractional orders, and the other is synchronization between two nonidentical fractional-order chaotic systems with different fractional orders. Three numerical examples illustrate that fast synchronization can be achieved even between a chaotic fractional-order system and a hyperchaotic fractional-order system.
