A novel study for impulsive synchronization of fractional-order chaotic systems

The stability of impulsive fractional-order systems is discussed. A new synchronization criterion of fractional-order chaotic systems is proposed based on the stability theory of impulsive fractional-order systems. The synchronization criterion is suitable for the case of the order 0 < q ≤ 1. It is more general than those of the known results. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization criterion.
