Solution and Characteristic Analysis of Fractional-Order Chaotic Systems

This book highlights the solution algorithms and characteristic analysis methods of fractional-order chaotic systems.  Fractal dimensions exist broadly in the study of nature and the development of science and technology. Fractional calculus has become a hot research area in nonlinear science. Fractional-order chaotic systems are an important part of fractional calculus. The book discusses the numerical solution algorithms and characteristic analysis of fractional-order chaotic systems and introduces the techniques to implement the systems with circuits. To facilitate a quick grasp, the authors present examples from their years of work in the appendix. Intended for graduate students and researchers interested in chaotic systems, the book helps one to build a theoretical and experimental foundation for the application of fractional-order chaotic systems.
