Dual phase and dual anti-phase synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems in real and complex variables with uncertainties

Abstract In the present article the nonlinear control method is used for dual phase and dual anti-phase synchronizations among fractional order chaotic systems with uncertainties. The control functions are designed to achieve synchronization with the help of nonlinear control technique. The nonlinear control method is found to be very effective and convenient to achieve dual phase and dual anti-phase synchronization with parametric uncertainties of the non-identical chaotic systems. The fractional order real and complex chaotic systems with parametric uncertainties are taken to illustrate dual phase and dual anti-phase synchronization process. Numerical simulation results show the possibility of dual phase and dual anti-phase synchronizations, which are carried out using Adams–Bashforth–Moulton method and graphical results are presented to display the effectiveness of the method. The striking feature of the article is the graphical demonstration of fast communication through signals between transmitter and receiver for the complex variable systems compared to the real variable systems.
