%0 Journal Article %T Control and Synchronization of the Fractional-Order Lorenz Chaotic System via Fractional-Order Derivative %A Ping Zhou %A Rui Ding %J Mathematical Problems in Engineering %D 2012 %I Hindawi Publishing Corporation %R 10.1155/2012/214169 %X The unstable equilibrium points of the fractional-order Lorenz chaotic system can be controlled via fractional-order derivative, and chaos synchronization for the fractional-order Lorenz chaotic system can be achieved via fractional-order derivative. The control and synchronization technique, based on stability theory of fractional-order systems, is simple and theoretically rigorous. The numerical simulations demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the proposed method. %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/mpe/2012/214169/
