Control and synchronization of fractional-order chaotic systems

The chaotic dynamics of fractional-order systems and their applications in secure communication have gained the attention of many recent researches. Fractional-order systems provide extra degrees of freedom and control capability with integer-order differential equations as special cases. Synchronization is a necessary function in any communication system and is rather hard to be achieved for

Fractional-order DISPR model for the AIDS epidemiological dynamics

Modeling epidemiological dynamics of AIDS infection is an indispensable method to track the spread of such fatal disease. In this paper, the Differential Infectivity and Staged Progression Model, DISP, is modified to include the possibility of recovery, hence the new proposed model is called the DISPR model. The DISPR model is also generalized to the fractional order domain to allow more

Memristor and inverse memristor: Modeling, implementation and experiments

Pinched hysteresis is considered to be a signature of the existence of memristive behavior. However, this is not completely accurate. In this chapter, we are discussing a general equation taking into consideration all possible cases to model all known elements including memristor. Based on this equation, it is found that an opposite behavior to the memristor can exist in a nonlinear inductor or a
