A new 3D fractional-order chaotic system with complex dynamics

Abstract Compared to integer-order chaotic systems, fractional-order chaotic systems have more complex dynamical features due to the introduction of order. The application of fractional-order chaotic systems to chaotic cryptosystems makes the cryptosystems with higher security properties. In this paper, we developed a new 3D fractional-order chaotic system from a 3D integer-order chaotic system, and investigate the dynamical behaviors of this fractional-order system with different parameters and orders. Moreover, self-excited attractors appeared at lower orders through circuit simulations. Furthermore, the synchronization of the new fractional-order chaotic system in the presence of systematic uncertainties and perturbations was achieved using the sliding mode control technique, which sets the stage for the implementation of communication. Finally, offset boosting control was used to investigate the utility of the new chaotic system in engineering applications.
