Finite-time synchronization of fractional-order chaotic systems by applying the maximum-valued method of functions of five variables

In this discussion, the finite time synchronization (FTSN) of master-slave fractional-order chaotic systems (MSFOCSS) is explored. By adopting the maximum-valued method (MVM) of functions of five variables, two novel criteria on the FTSN are obtained for the MSFOCSS. So far, the studies of the FTSN of the MSFOCSS have been rare. Furthermore, the existing results on the FTSN of MSFOCSS have been achieved often by adopting the LMI method and finite time stability theorems (FTST). Thus, instead of utilizing the past research methods, adopting the MVM to study the FTSN of the MSFOCSS is an innovative study work.
