Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional-order calculus can be traced back to the work of Leibniz and Hospital in 1695. During the last twenty years, fractional calculus has attracted an increasing amount of attention. Fractional-order models have been proven to be an effective tool for the description of memory and hereditary properties of various materials and processes. The fractional-order nonlinear dynamic systems have displayed many complex dynamic behaviors such as chaos, bifurcation, attractor, and multistability. The fractional-order chaotic systems are extensively studied due to their potential applications in mathematics, biology, physics, finance, engineering, and other fields. As a collective behavior, the problem of synchronization and its control in fractional-order chaotic systems generally exists in many actual processes. Therefore, the analysis and synthesis of synchronization control problems play an important role in many practical systems.

The aim of this Special Issue is to explore recent trends and developments in the analysis and synthesis of synchronization control in fractional-order chaotic systems. Contributions can address all types of fractional-order chaotic systems and different synchronization control methods, as well as their practical applications. Review articles focused on a specific system behavior or specific synchronization methods are also welcome. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Synchronization;
  • Analysis and design of fractional-order controls;
  • Identification and optimization of fractional-order systems;
  • Event-based synchronization analysis of fractional-order systems;
  • Fractional-order chaos-based cryptography applications;
  • Fractional-order financial models and systems;
  • Fractional-order economic models and systems;
  • Intermittent control;
  • Impulsive control;
  • Complex networks;
  • Neural networks;
  • Consensus.

The degree of irregularity and complexity of the pore structure are comprehensively reflected in the fractal dimension. The porosity of coal was determined by its fractal dimension, where a larger dimension indicates a lower porosity. Fractal theory and the Frenkel–Halsey–Hill (FHH) model were applied to explore the variation rules of concentration on functional groups and pore structure in this study. Combined with infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, a starch-polymerized aluminum sulfate composite fracturing fluid was prepared, which plays an important role in methane adsorption and permeability of coal samples. The test results showed that, compared with the original coal, the pore volume and specific surface area of each group of coal samples were reduced, the average pore diameter was initially enlarged and then declined, and fractal dimension D1 dropped by 5.4% to 15.4%, while fractal dimension D2 gained 1.2% to 7.9%. Moreover, the nitrogen adsorption of each group of coal samples was obviously lower than the original coal, and the concentration of starch-polymerized aluminum sulfate solution existed at a critical optimal concentration for the modification of the coal samples, and the nitrogen adsorption reached a minimum value of 0.6814 cm3/g at a concentration of 10%. The novel composite solution prepared by the combination of starch and flocculant in this paper enhanced the permeability of the coal seam, which is of great significance in improving the efficiency of coalbed methane mining.

A novel fractional-order model, incorporating coupled hysteresis and creep effects, is proposed for typical piezoelectric actuators in this study. Throughout the actuation process, various nonlinear behaviors such as piezoelectric hysteresis, non-local memory, peak transition, and creep nonlinearity are accurately characterized by the model. Offering a simpler structure and superior tracking performance compared to conventional models, the proposed fractional-order model parameters are identified using a method that integrates actuator dynamics and employs the particle swarm optimization algorithm. Experimental validation on a piezoelectric actuation platform confirms the model’s superior accuracy and simplified structure, contributing to a deeper understanding of piezoelectric actuation mechanisms and providing an efficient modeling tool for enhanced system performance.

Because they are useful for both enabling numerical simulations and containing well-defined physical phenomena, discrete fractional reaction–diffusion models have attracted a great deal of interest from academics. Within the family of fractional reaction–diffusion models, a discrete form is examined in detail in this study. Furthermore, we investigate the complex synchronization dynamics of a suggested discrete master–slave reaction–diffusion system using the accuracy of linear control techniques combined with a fractional discrete Lyapunov approach. This study’s deviation from the behavior of equivalents with integer orders makes it very fascinating. Like the non-local nature inherent in Caputo fractional derivatives, it creates a memory Lyapunov function that is closely linked to the historical background of the system. The investigation provides a strong basis to the theoretical results. Full article

The computation of the sign function of a matrix plays a crucial role in various mathematical applications. It provides a matrix-valued mapping that determines the sign of each eigenvalue of a nonsingular matrix. In this article, we present a novel iterative algorithm designed to efficiently calculate the sign of an invertible matrix, emphasizing the enlargement of attraction basins. The proposed solver exhibits convergence of order four, making it highly efficient for a wide range of matrices. Furthermore, the method demonstrates global convergence properties. We validate the theoretical outcomes through numerical experiments, which confirm the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed algorithm. Full article

In this work, a dynamic-free adaptive sliding mode control (adaptive-SMC) methodology for the synchronization of a specific class of chaotic delayed fractional-order neural network systems in the presence of input saturation is proposed. By incorporating the frequency distributed model (FDM) and the fractional version of the Lyapunov stability theory, a dynamic-free adaptive SMC methodology is designed to effectively overcome the inherent chaotic behavior exhibited by the delayed FONNSs to achieve synchronization. Notably, the decoupling of the control laws from the nonlinear/linear dynamical components of the system is ensured, taking advantage of the norm-boundedness property of the states in chaotic systems. The effectiveness of the suggested adaptive-SMC method for chaos synchronization in delayed fractional-order Hopfield neural network systems is validated through numerical simulations, demonstrating its robustness and efficiency. The proposed dynamic-free adaptive-SMC approach, incorporating the FDM and fractional Lyapunov stability theorem, offers a promising solution for synchronizing chaotic delayed FONNSs with input saturation, with potential applications in various domains requiring synchronization of such systems.
