In this paper, attempts are made to design a novel time-varying switching surface in sliding mode control which enables us to synchronize two fractional chaotic systems precisely at any arbitrary pre-specified time. For both Caputo (C) and Riemann-Liuville (RL) derivatives, control laws based on Lyapunov stability theorem are derived. The proposed method is completely robust against existence of uncertainties and exogenous disturbances due to eliminating the reaching phase. Since the sign function is replaced by fractional RL integral of the sign function, the chattering is removed. The simulation results in different scenarios are reported to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
