Concept of Q-S synchronization for fractional-order systems is introduced and Q-S synchronization of the fractional-order unified system is investigated in this paper. On the basis of the stability theory of the fractional-order system, two suitable control schemes are designed to achieve Q-S synchronization of the fractional-order unified systems under the given observable variables of drive system and the response system. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are shown to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.
