Deterministic coherence resonance analysis of coupled chaotic oscillators: fractional approach

Recently, the stabilization of chaos by chaos has attracted the attention of researchers. A small deviation between the natural frequencies of unidirectionally coupled chaotic oscillators can cause the emerge of a coherence resonance in the slave oscillator for a given coupling strength. In this work, we investigate the phenomenon of coherence resonance for a coupled Rossler system under the influence of fractional operators in the frequency response of the slave oscillator. Based on the analysis of the fractional Rossler system, we determine a range of fractional orders in which the system retains its instability, and an analysis of the frequency response of the system to changes in natural frequency is developed. Finally, the frequency response of the slave system to changes in the fractional derivative order, the natural frequency of the master system, and the coupling strength is analyzed, and how these changes promote the occurrence of coherence resonance is examined.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
