A New Fractional‐Order Map with Infinite Number of Equilibria and Its Encryption Application

Abstract

The study of the chaotic dynamics in fractional-order discrete-time systems has received great attention over the last years. Some efforts have been also devoted to analyze fractional maps with special features. This paper makes a contribution to the topic by introducing a new fractional map that is characterized by both particular dynamic behaviors and specific properties related to the system equilibria. In particular, the conceived one dimensional map is algebraically simpler than all the proposed fractional maps in the literature. Using numerical simulation, we investigate the dynamic and complexity of the fractional map. The results indicate that the new one-dimensional fractional map displays various types of coexisting attractors. The approximate entropy is used to observe the changes in the sequence sequence complexity when the fractional order and system parameter. Finally, the fractional map is applied to the problem of encrypting electrophysiological signals. For the encryption process, random numbers were generated using the values of the fractional map. Some statistical tests are given to show the performance of the encryption.

Hidden multistability of fractional discrete non-equilibrium point memristor based map

“…In [25] Liu et al proposed a new fractional discrete sinusoidal map, whereas, the chaos in the fractional Hénon-Lozi type map has been examined in [26]. Gasri et al [27] revealed the rich chaotic dynamics of a novel fractional-order map with infinite line of equilibrium points, while In [28], Khennaoui et al have investigated the chaotic dynamics of a new 2D discrete system without equilibrium points. Furthermore, multistability in fractional discrete chaotic maps has recently received a lot of attention [29][30][31][32][33].…”

The effect of the Caputo fractional difference operator on a new discrete COVID-19 model

“…In [13] , a 3D fractional iterated map has been developed, in which this fractional map was shown to have hidden attractors whereas, the chaos in the fractional Hénon-Lozi type map has been examined in [14] . The authors in [15] exhibited the rich chaotic behaviors of a new fractional-order map with an infinite line of equilibria, while In [16] , Khennaoui et al. investigated the chaotic dynamics and combined synchronization of three two-dimensional maps.…”
