In the last few years, reaction–diffusion models associated with discrete fractional calculus have risen in prominence in scientific fields, not just due to the requirement for numerical simulation but also due to the described biological phenomena. This work investigates a discrete equivalent of the fractional reaction–diffusion glycolysis model. The discrete fractional calculus tool is introduced to the discrete modeling of diffusion problems in the Caputo-like delta sense, and a fractional discretization diffusion model is described. The local stability of the equilibrium points in the proposed discrete system is examined. We additionally investigate the global stability of the equilibrium point by developing a Lyapunov function. Furthermore, this study indicates that the L1 finite difference scheme and the second-order central difference scheme can successfully preserve the characteristics of the associated continuous system. Finally, an equivalent summation representing the model's numerical formula is shown. The diffusion concentration is further investigated for different fractional orders, and examples with simulations are presented to corroborate the theoretical findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reaction–diffusion systems have a broad variety of applications, particularly in biology, and it is well known that fractional calculus has been successfully used with this type of system. However, analyzing these systems using discrete fractional calculus is novel and requires significant research in a diversity of disciplines. Thus, in this paper, we investigate the discrete-time fractional-order Lengyel–Epstein system as a model of the chlorite iodide malonic acid (CIMA) chemical reaction. With the help of the second order difference operator, we describe the fractional discrete model. Furthermore, using the linearization approach, we established acceptable requirements for the local asymptotic stability of the system's unique equilibrium. Moreover, we employ a Lyapunov functional to show that when the iodide feeding rate is moderate, the constant equilibrium solution is globally asymptotically stable. Finally, numerical models are presented to validate the theoretical conclusions and demonstrate the impact of discretization and fractional-order on system dynamics. The continuous version of the fractional-order Lengyel–Epstein reaction–diffusion system is compared to the discrete-time system under consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, some efforts have been devoted to nonlinear dynamics of fractional discrete-time systems. A number of papers have so far discussed results related to the presence of chaos in fractional maps. However, less results have been published to date regarding the presence of hyperchaos in fractional discrete-time systems. This paper aims to bridge the gap by introducing a new three-dimensional fractional map that shows, for the first time, complex hyperchaotic behaviors. A detailed analysis of the map dynamics is conducted via computation of Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagrams, phase portraits, approximated entropy and C 0 complexity. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the approach illustrated herein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we propose two control strategies for the Q–S synchronization of fractional-order discrete-time chaotic systems. Assuming that the dimension of the response system m is higher than that of the drive system n, the first control scheme achieves n-dimensional synchronization whereas the second deals with the m-dimensional case. The stability of the proposed schemes is established by means of the linearization method. Numerical results are presented to confirm the findings of the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fractional calculus in discrete-time systems is a recent research topic. The fractional maps introduced in the literature often display chaotic attractors belonging to the class of "self-excited attractors". The field of fractional map with "hidden attractors" is completely unexplored. Based on these considerations, this paper presents the first example of fractional map without equilibria showing a number of hidden attractors for different values of the fractional order. The presence of the chaotic hidden attractors is validated via the computation of bifurcation diagrams, maximum Lyapunov exponent, 0–1 test, phase diagrams, complexity, and entropy. Finally, an active controller with the aim for stabilizing the proposed fractional map is successfully designed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is concerned with the co-existence of different synchronization types for fractional-order discrete-time chaotic systems with different dimensions. In particular, we show that through appropriate nonlinear control, projective synchronization (PS), full state hybrid projective synchronization (FSHPS), and generalized synchronization (GS) can be achieved simultaneously. A second nonlinear control scheme is developed whereby inverse full state hybrid projective synchronization (IFSHPS) and inverse generalized synchronization (IGS) are shown to co-exist. Numerical examples are presented to confirm the findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce two approaches to the generalized synchronized synchronization and the inverse generalized synchronization of fractional discrete-time chaotic systems with non-identical dimensions. The convergence of the proposed approaches is established by means of recently developed stability theory. Numerical results are presented based on well-known maps in the literature. Two examples are considered: a 3D generalized synchronization and a 2D inverse generalized synchronization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
