In this paper, a new design of fractional-order sliding mode control scheme is proposed for the synchronization of a class of nonlinear fractional-order systems with chaotic behaviour. The considered design approach provides a set of fractional-order laws that guarantee asymptotic stability of fractional-order chaotic systems in the sense of the Lyapunov stability theorem. Two illustrative simulation examples on the fractional-order Genesio–Tesi chaotic systems and the fractional-order modified Jerk systems are provided. These examples show the effectiveness and robustness of this control solution.
