Projective Synchronization for Uncertain Fractional Reaction-Diffusion Systems via Adaptive Sliding Mode Control Based on Finite-Time Scheme

In this article, the projective synchronization of uncertain fractional-order (FO) reaction-diffusion systems is studied for the first time via the fractional adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) method. A FO integral type switching function is designed, and corresponding adaptive SMC laws are derived which ensure the FO sliding mode surface (SMS) is reachable after a finite time interval. The improved version of these control laws which have smaller oscillation and better control performance are also derived. A new lemma for proving the finite-time reachability of the FO SMS is developed. At last, numerical examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of our theories.
