Chaotic dynamics of the fractional order Schnakenberg model and its control

Abstract

The Schnakenberg model is thought to be the Caputo fractional derivative. In order to create caputo fractional differential equations for the Schnakenberg model, a discretization process is first used. The fixed points in the model are categorized topologically. Then, we show analytically that, under certain parametric conditions, a Neimark-Sacker (NS) bifurcation and a Flip-bifurcation are supported by a fractional order Schnakenberg model. Using central manifold and bifurcation theory, we demonstrate the presence and direction of NS and Flip bifurcations. The parameter values and the initial conditions have been found to have a profound impact on the dynamical behavior of the fractional order Schnakenberg model. Numerical simulations are shown to demonstrate chaotic behaviors like bifurcations, phase portraits, period 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 16, 20 and 40 orbits, invariant closed cycles, and attractive chaotic sets in addition to validating analytical conclusions.  In order to support the system’s chaotic characteristics, we also compute the maximal Lyapunov exponents and fractal dimensions quantitatively. Finally, the chaotic trajectory of the system is stopped using the OGY approach, hybrid control method, and state feedback method.
