Chaos control of fractional order Rabinovich–Fabrikant system and synchronization between chaotic and chaos controlled fractional order Rabinovich–Fabrikant system

In this article the local stability of the Rabinovich–Fabrikant (R–F) chaotic system with fractional order time derivative is analyzed using fractional Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion. Feedback control method is used to control chaos in the considered fractional order system and after controlling the chaos the authors have introduced the synchronization between fractional order non-chaotic R–F system and the chaotic R–F system at various equilibrium points. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. Numerical simulation results which are carried out using Adams–Boshforth–Moulton method show that the method is effective and reliable for synchronizing the systems.
