The field of chaotic systems control and synchronization has garnered considerable attention in light of its promising applications across various domains like secure communication, vibration suppression, and image processing. The paper investigates the problem of practical fixed-time master-slave synchronization for dissimilar fractional-order chaotic systems. Two novel adaptive fuzzy sliding-mode controllers employing non-singular fixed-time sliding surfaces are proposed to achieve practical fixed-time synchronization. Fuzzy logic systems, known for their ability to handle complex uncertainties, are used in our synchronization schemes to estimate continuous functional uncertainties. The effectiveness of the proposed synchronization schemes is validated through a simulation study.

In this research work, a novel fuzzy adaptive control is proposed to achieve a projective synchronization for a class of fractional-order chaotic systems with input nonlinearities (dead-zone together with sector nonlinearities). These master-slave systems under consideration are supposed to be with distinct models, different fractional-orders, unknown models, and dynamic external disturbances. The proposed control law consists of two main terms, namely: a fuzzy adaptive control term for appropriately approximating the uncertainties and a fractional-order variable-structure control term for robustly dealing with these inherent input nonlinearities. A Lyapunov approach is used to derive the updated laws and to prove the stability of the closed-loop control system. At last, a set of computer simulation results is carried out to illustrate and further validate the theoretical findings.

This paper solves the problem of projective lag‐synchronization based on output‐feedback control for chaotic drive‐response systems with input dead‐zone and sector nonlinearities. This class of the drive‐response systems is assumed in Brunovsky form but with unavailable states and unknown dynamics. To effectively deal with both dead‐zone and sector nonlinearities, the proposed controller is designed in a variable‐structure framework. To online learn the uncertain dynamics, adaptive fuzzy systems are used. And to estimate the unavailable states, a simple synchronization error is constructed. To prove the stability of the overall closed‐loop system (controller, observer, and drive‐response system) and to design the adaptation laws, a Lyapunov theory and strictly positive real (SPR) approach are exploited. Finally, three academic examples are given to show the effectiveness of this proposed lag‐synchronization scheme.
