In this work, we combine the active and adaptive control theories, and propose a novel synchronization scheme for a class of fractional-order chaotic systems with different structure and different order. Based on the new version of fractional-order Lyapunov stability theory, we design the adaptive controllers and updating laws of different switching. We use the fractional-order Lorenz chaotic system and the fractional-order Chen chaotic system as examples to analyze the multi-switching synchronization process for fractional-order chaotic systems with different structures and different orders. Finally, numerical simulations are also given to illustrate the effectiveness and validation of the proposed method, and the model uncertainties and external disturbances are added to the considered systems to verify the robustness of the proposed controllers.

Positive descriptor fractional discrete-time linear systems with fractional different orders are addressed in the paper. The decomposition of the regular pencil is used to extend necessary and sufficient conditions for positivity of the descriptor fractional discrete-time linear system with different fractional orders. A method for finding the decentralized controller for the class of positive systems is proposed and its effectiveness is demonstrated on a numerical example.

The classical Cayley–Hamilton theorem is extended to fractional different order linear systems. The new theorems are applied to different orders fractional linear electrical circuits. The applications of new theorems are illustrated by numerical examples.

Factional Discrete-time linear systems with fractional different orders are addressed. The Weierstrass-Kronecker decomposition theorem of the regular pencil is extended to the descriptor fractional discrete-time linear system with different fractional orders. Using the extension, method for finding the solution of the state equation is derived. Effectiveness of the method is demonstrated on a numerical example.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the pointwise completeness and the pointwise degeneracy of linear discrete-time different fractional order systems are established. It is shown that if the fractional system is pointwise complete in one step (q = 1), then it is also pointwise complete for q = 2, 3…

The solution to the system of equations of the descriptor linear discrete-time with different fractional orders is derived by the use of the Drazin inverse of matrices. This solution is applied to analysis of the pointwise completeness and the pointwise degeneracy of the descriptor discrete-time linear systems with different fractional orders. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the pointwise completeness and the pointwise degeneracy of the descriptor discrete–time linear systems with different fractional orders are established. The proposed methods are illustrated by numerical examples.

Gravity and magnetic measurements are common remote sensing strategies to obtain the property change of observed targets. Nowadays, the characteristic value of the derivatives of gravity and magnetic anomalies is commonly used to detect the source horizontal edge. We found that the horizontal coordinates of the characteristic value of different-order derivatives are not directly corresponding to the edge of the source, which varies with the depth and size of the source. The spatial different-order derivative (SDD) method of gravity and magnetic anomalies was developed, and we proved that the spatial intersection of different-order derivatives is corresponding to the location of the source, and used this feature to obtain horizontal location and depth of the source simultaneously. The model tests proved that the SDD method has high accuracy and strong anti-noisy. According to the corresponding relationship between the potential field data and lithology, we used the SDD method to delineate the potential metalorganic area in the survey region, which provides the basis for subsequent exploration.

The aeromagnetic survey is a common remote sensing tool for detecting iron deposits. The local wavenumber of a magnetic anomaly is used to interpret the edges or positions of the sources, and can involve first- or second-order local wavenumbers. In this paper, we derived a linear equation between the second-order local wavenumber and the source location; therefore, we propose a constraint of first and second-order local wavenumbers. Tests on synthetic data show that the source parameters, computed using a combination of equations that involved different-order local wavenumbers, are closer to the true values and show a smaller spread in estimated values. For gridded data, we proved that the different-order combination allowed us to accurately estimate the source position. When applied to the aeromagnetic data from Hebei province, China, we refined the location of most magnetic features, which we interpreted as possible iron deposits.

In this paper, two kinds of combination synchronization between two drive systems and one response system are investigated using active backstepping design. Firstly, increased-order combination synchronization between Lorenz system, Rössler system and hyperchaotic Lü system is considered. Secondly, reduced-order combination synchronization between hyperchaotic Lorenz system, hyperchaotic Chen system and Lü system is considered. According to Lyapunov stability theory and active backstepping design method, the corresponding controllers are both designed. Finally, several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the obtained results.

In this paper, the generalized synchronization of chaotic systems with different order is studied. The definition of finite-time generalized synchronization is put forward for the first time. Based on the finite-time stability theory, two control strategies are proposed to realize the generalized synchronization of chaotic systems with different order in finite time. Besides the relation between the parameter β , the initial states of systems and the convergent time were obtained. The corresponding numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed schemes.
