Bifurcations and synchronization of the fractional-order Bloch system (Q2398793)

In this paper, the authors study the bifurcations and synchronization of a fractional-order Bloch system. The authors consider the bifurcations with the variation of every order and the system parameter for the system. They find rich dynamics in the fractional-order Bloch system including chaos, period, limit cycles, period-doubling, and tangent bifurcations. In addition, the adaptive synchronization for the system with unknown parameters is realized by designing appropriate controllers by using the stability theory of fractional-order systems. Finally, the authors provide numerical simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the controllers.
