Synchronization of Chaotic Fractional-Order Lu-Lu Systems with Active Sliding Mode Control

Synchronization of chaotic and Lu system has been done using the active sliding mode control strategy. Regarding the synchronization task as a control problem, fractional order mathematics is used to express the system and active sliding mode for synchronization. It has been shown that, not only the performance of the proposed method is satisfying with an acceptable level of control signal, but...

Solid-state nanofluidic devices have proven to be ideal systems to elucidate the physics of nanoscale ion transport. When the device confinement approaches the Debye length of ions in the fluid, new phenomena occur such as surface-charge-dominated transport and ion-selectivity. Although these effects have been understood for simple monovalent systems, application-critical divalent systems have ...
