1. Introduction
One of the areas that has recently piqued the interest of many scientists is fractional calculus. More degrees of freedom are added in the model with fractional order systems. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that fractional calculus can be a significant mathematical tool for precise modeling of practical systems. Medical sciences [
1], zoological sciences [
2], biological systems [
3], viscoelastic materials [
4], energy supply and demand system [
5], nuclear cycle generating system [
6], dynamo theory [
7], multi-agent system [
8], industrial automation system [
9], and HIV immunity model [
10] are some of the systems described using fractional differential equations. Because of its applications in secure communication, signal processing, encoding-decoding, and electronic circuits, the study of chaos, chaos synchronization, and control of fractional order systems has recently gained traction [
7,
11,
12]. Researchers have proposed a variety of approaches to control and synchronize fractional order systems, including feedback control [
13,
14], nonlinear control technique [
15], observation-based control [
16], phase synchronization [
17], impulse synchronization [
18], multi-scale synchronization [
19,
20], sliding mode control technique [
21,
22,
23], fault-tolerant control [
24], and so on. Synchronization of chaotic systems has piqued the interest of scientists, with over 350,000 research papers listed in Google Scholar. Many studies have been conducted in this subject for the integer [
25], fractional [
26], and [(new article)] systems. Several control mechanisms have been presented thus far for this purpose. There are numerous synchronization strategies for the fractional order deterministic dynamic system. The time required for synchronization is not always restricted in all synchronization methods. However, in the actual world, synchronization must be completed in a timely manner. In finite-time stability, the system’s state variables converge to their equilibrium point more quickly and in a finite time. Because convergence time is critical, the time horizon is constrained, providing an effective foundation for faster synchronization in control systems and reducing convergence time.
Analyzing preset time synchronization for two chaotic systems of different dimensions, which can achieve the simultaneity of two chaotic systems of different dimensions in a predetermined time, employing adaptive control [
27]. For synchronization between two separate chaotic systems with unknown parameters and disturbances, the fast non-singular terminal sliding mode adaptive control strategy has been examined [
28]. For complex fractional-order laser synchronization in the presence of system uncertainties and external disturbances, a chatter-free finite-time SMC sliding surface approach has been suggested [
29]. For a class of complex networks with fractional-order delays, delay-dependent finite-time synchronization has been investigated [
30]. The finite-time synchronization problem for fractional order complex dynamical networks with intermittent control has been described in [
31].
The finite-time synchronization problem of various systems with entirely unknown parameters has been investigated in this article. The synchronization error between the master and slave systems is defined first, and its finite time convergence to zero is demonstrated. The required adaptive rules are then derived to deal with the unknown characteristics of the systems, and the control law and update rules are built in such a way that the achievement condition is met. The next section introduces a mechanism for synchronizing fractional order systems with uncertainty, disturbance, and unknown time delay. The confirmation of its stability is examined in the following section. The proposed method was then applied to a system with time-varying characteristics, and a numerical simulation was provided at the end.
2. Definitions, Theorems, and Lemmas in Fractional Calculus
Definitions and lemmas for finite-time synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems with unknown uncertainty, disturbance, and time delay are given in this section.

3. Dynamic of the Fractional Order System
The synchronization of a fractional order chaotic system in the face of disturbance, uncertainty, and unknown time delay is presented in this section. The saturation operator on the control signal is incorporated in the design process of this subject to facilitate implementation. The simulation findings indicate that the performance will be good and acceptable.
The sliding mode control strategy for the fractional order chaotic system is described, and the synchronization of the fractional order system is examined as a result.
Consider the fractional master and slave system shown below:
The fractional order slave system is as follows:
In which
.
The fractional order error dynamic between the master (10) and slave (11) systems is given in (12).
For system (11), Mittag-Leffler stability lemmas of fractional order type and asymptotic stability lemmas will be developed and proved, providing a theoretical foundation for demonstrating the performance of the suggested controllers.
Assumption 1: In master and slave systems, uncertain external distortions as well as unknown bounded nonlinear uncertainties and satisfy the following conditions:
So that indicates norm of , and are definite positive real values and are definite functions in general.

36]:
Then, is Lipschitz at and the positive constant, , is called the Lipschitz constant.
Assumption 2 : The unknown time delays presented by nonlinear functions and represented in general forms of (10) and (11) in the chaotic master and slave systems satisfy the Lipschitz conditions for each and considering (14):

4. Calculating the Control Signal
If the system is in sliding mode, the following conditions should be met:
Therefore, the sliding surface fractional order derivative in (16) is as follows.
In this case, the last dynamic of the fractional order system error, defined in (12) is substituted in (17):
Such that is defined as in (18):
is defined as follows:
(20) includes terms resulting from estimation of system uncertainties that are updated using the adaptive controller described in the next section. Thus, according to (13) in which the uncertainty bound is defined, ، and are the upper bound of uncertainty, disturbance, and time delay in master and slave systems.
5. Proof of Stability and Update Rules
In this section, we will develop a robust adaptive controller employing a non-linear fractional order PID-based sliding surface in such a way that the suggested control strategy ensures the stability of the synchronization process of the aforementioned chaotic systems.
Theorem 2-5: Synchronization of the systems (10) and (11) is assured despite the disturbances and and the unknown uncertainties and , as well as the unknown time delay and with the controller definition as follows:
where
and
are estimates of the input disturbance bounds,
and
are estimates of time delays, and
and
are estimates of the uncertainty bounds in the master and slave systems. Furthermore,
,
, and
represent the upper bounds of disturbance, time delay, and uncertainty, respectively. As a result, in order to ensure the system’s stability, we apply the update rules to estimate the mentioned parameters:
is a positive constant number in the above relationship. Furthermore, , , and represent the estimation error of time delay, disturbance, and uncertainty, respectively. The update rules for delays are based on estimation errors, which are not available. You can overcome this problem by doing the following:
Given that:
such that
is the upper bound and
is the lower bound of the time delay. As a result of selecting
), we have:
By defining
and calculating its derivative:
Therefore, is a descending function that tends to zero, thus:
Thus, the update rules for time delays would be as follows:
We will now investigate the stability of the controlled fractional order system by taking into account the sliding surface using nonlinear fractional order PID controllers. The following Lyapunov function is introduced for the sliding surface given in relation (5-9).
According to (21), derivative of the Lyapunov function would be as follows:
By applying (22) in (26), the above derivative is extended as follows:
In this case, the Lyapunov function derivative is as follows:
Relationship (29) will be recast as follows, based on assumptions 1 and 2 stated in relations (14) and (15):
The derivative of the Lyapunov function would be as follows:
At this point, the update rules described in (22) are used to estimate the system parameters in relation (29). On the other hand:
That relationship (32) can also be extended for
and
. In this case, the Lyapunov function derivative will be simplified as follows:
Its finite-time stability is demonstrated for a chaotic considering the PID sliding surface and nonlinear fractional order derivative.
For boundedness, the control signal is modified as follows:
In which,
is a small positive number.
Adaptive rules should be updated to increase their robustness to uncertainty and disturbance. These changes are possible in a variety of ways. The law of sigma correction is one of these ways.
The Sigma function represented in
Figure 1 is defined as follows:
The presence of uncertainty and disturbance in the system causes a mild increase in estimations in the controller under investigation, which can be dealt with utilizing the sigma correction approach. As a result, the following are the update rules of the estimation of delays and the disturbance and uncertainty bounds:
[] (new article going to be released) describes in full the proof of error convergence to zero in the condition that the sliding surface tends to zero.

in the simulation process are considered as follows:
The following system disturbances and nonlinear uncertainties are considered during the simulation process:
The dynamic equations of the synchronization error of the fractional order chaotic system with uncertainty, unknown disturbance, and unknown time delay are defined using equations (10) and (11).
Such that
. Also:
Figure 2 and
Figure 3 depict the chaotic behavior of a fractional order master and slave system with time-varying parameters in the absence of controller operations.
Figure 4 depicts the phase diagram of the fractional-order Gensou-Tsei system, and
Figure 5 depicts the behavior of the master and slave system states separately and without controller actions. The behavior of both the master and slave systems is utterly chaotic, as demonstrated in the figures above.
Figure 6 depicts the synchronization of the Gensou-Tsei chaotic system before and after the finite-time controller is applied. The suggested mechanism is based on adaptive sliding mode control, and its performance is such that after applying the controller, the synchronization error achieves zero at an acceptable speed, as illustrated in
Figure 7.
Figure 8 depicts the control signal obtained by employing the finite time scenario during the controller design process.
Figure 9 depicts the estimation error of the system parameters, which has converged to zero well and rapidly, incorporating unknown uncertainties, time delays, and disturbances.
The uncertainties and disturbances in the master and slave systems are depicted in
Figure 10. Despite the presence of undesired signals in
Figure 10 and their imposition on the above system, the design mechanism of the above controller guarantees an effective synchronization process of the master and slave systems.
To evaluate the performance of the proposed adaptive control strategy for the robust synchronization of the systems (39) and (40), the initial conditions of the master and slave systems are set to and , respectively, with time delays of and . At , the time delay of the master system changes to , and the time delay of the slave system changes to at . In addition, parameters , and are treated similarly to the preceding case. Furthermore, the upper bound. of disturbance is , the time delay is , , and the uncertainty bound of the slave system is , . Different simulation results are shown in (2) through (10).
Based on the simulation results in Figures 2 to 10, it is clear that using the proposed adaptive control strategy to synchronize uncertain chaotic systems with unknown time delays, disturbances, and parametric uncertainties leads to convergence of all synchronization errors. And this synchronization is of acceptable robustness. The quantity of chattering in the suggested control signal is low, indicating the optimal performance of the proposed controller. Furthermore, the error in predicting the unknown parameters of the systems depicted in
Figure 9 demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed control mechanism in parameter estimation utilizing the proposed updating rules using equations (37).
