This work proposes a new scheme for stabilizing fractional-order systems (FOSs) in which we offer an auxiliary function such that the fractional derivative for the Lyapunov function candidate could be positive or negative, rather than the conventional negative definiteness condition required for stability. Such a foundation is employed to introduce a simple control mechanism that stabilizes the FOS at its zero equilibrium point and provides global asymptotic stability. To show the applicability of our method, we provide a numerical example supported by simulations of the Newton-Leipnik chaotic system, proving its ability to address complex fractional-order chaotic systems through a simple controller.
