A study on coexistence of different types of synchronization between different dimensional fractional chaotic systems

In this study, robust approaches are proposed to investigate the problem of the coexistence of various types of synchronization between different dimensional fractional chaotic systems. Based on stability theory of linear fractional order systems, the co-existence of full state hybrid function projective synchronization (FSHFPS), inverse generalized synchronization (IGS), inverse full state hybrid projective synchronization (IFSHPS) and generalized synchronization (GS) is demonstrated. Using integer-order Lyapunov stability theory and fractional Lyapunov method, the co-existence of FSHFPS, inverse full state hybrid function projective synchronization (IFSHFPS), IGS and GS is also proved. Finally, numerical results are reported, with the aim to illustrate the capabilities of the novel schemes proposed herein. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017. All rights reserved.
