In this paper, the influences of parameters on the dynamics of a fractional-order Newton-Leipnik system were numerically studied. Impulsive synchronization of two fractional-order Newton-Leipnik systems was also investigated. The ranges of the parameters used in this study were relatively broad. The system displayed comprehensive dynamic behaviours, such as fixed points, periodic motion (including periodic-3 motion), chaotic motion, and transient chaos. A period-doubling route to chaos in this study was also found. Sufficient conditions on synchronization of the two systems are provided and illustrative example is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
