The Stability

We focus on the synchronization of a wide class of four-dimensional (4-D) chaotic systems. Firstly, based on the stability theory in fractional-order calculus and sliding mode control, a new method is derived to make the synchronization of a wide class of fractional-order chaotic systems. Furthermore, the method guarantees the synchronization between an integer-order system and a fraction-order system and the synchronization between two fractional-order chaotic systems with different orders. Finally, three examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Logarithmic Image Processing

This paper presents the modification of a previously developed algorithm using fractional order calculus and its implementation on mobile-embedded devices such as smartphones. The system performs enhancement on three categories of images such as those exhibiting uneven illumination, faded features/colors and hazy appearance. The key contributions include the simplified scheme for illumination correction, contrast enhancement and de-hazing using fractional derivative-based spatial filter kernels. These are achieved without resorting to logarithmic image processing, histogram-based statistics and complex de-hazing techniques employed by conventional algorithms. The simplified structure enables ease of implementation of the algorithm on mobile devices as an image processing application. Results indicate that the fractional order version of the algorithm yields good results relative to the integer order version and other algorithms from the literature.

<p>This  paper  presents  a  new  approach  of  fractional  order  sliding  mode <br />controllers  (FOSMC)  for  a  class  of  nonlinear  systems  which  have  a  single input and two outputs (SITO). Firstly, two fractional order sliding surfaces S1 and S2 were proposed with an intermediate variable z transferred from S2 to S1 in order to hierarchy the two sliding surfaces. Secondly, a control law was determined  in  order  to  control  the  two  outputs.  A  sliding  control  stability condition  was  obtained  by  using  the  properties  of  the  fractional  order calculus.  Finally,  the  effectiveness  and  robustness  of  the  proposed  approach  were demonstrated by comparing its performance with the one of the conventional sliding mode controller (SMC), which is based on integer order derivatives. Simulation results were provided for the cases of controlling a ball-beam and inverted pendulum systems.</p>

Bic Criterion

In this paper, we apply Caputo-type fractional order calculus to simulate China’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth based on R software, which is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. Moreover, we compare the results for the fractional model with the integer order model. In addition, we show the importance of variables according to the BIC criterion. The study shows that Caputo fractional order calculus can produce a better model and perform more accurately in predicting the GDP values from 2012–2016.
