Maximal Bound for Output Feedback Gain in Stabilization of Fixed Points of Fractional-Order Chaotic Systems

This paper deals with the problem of stabilizing the unstable fixed points of a class of fractional-order chaotic systems via using static output feedback. At first, a static output feedback controller designed to stabilize a fixed point of a fractional-order chaotic system is considered. Then, the maximal allowable perturbation bound around the nominal value of the output feedback gain of the designed controller, such that the stability of the intended fixed point in the closed-loop system is guaranteed, is analytically determined. Also, some numerical examples are presented to confirm the validity of the analytical results of the paper. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4003137]
