Abstract
Control of chaos generally refers to realize a desired behavior of chaotic system output and its states. In this manner, we design a fractional high-order differential feedback controller (FHODFC) to increase tracking performance of a nonlinear system output and its differentials for a desired trajectory signal. The proposed controller is based on fractional calculus and high-order extracted differentials of error signal. The suggested fractional approach is applied to a single-input–single-output affine Duffing-Holmes dynamical system in matlab/simulink environment. Duffing-Holmes system is analyzed for two different problems: estimation and control problems. The simulation results clearly demonstrate superior dynamic behavior of the FHODFC compared to the classical high-order differential feedback controller (HODFC) version for both estimation and control problems.
