Abstract

This study investigates how to control chaos in discrete-time systems that have variable fractional orders. We examine a general type of discrete fractional-order equations where the order changes with time, and we show that these systems can become chaotic when certain parameters are chosen. To address this, we develop and apply tailored control techniques to suppress chaos and achieve system stabilization. Using detailed numerical simulations, we confirm that the suggested control method works effectively in two example cases. Our findings underscore that chaos control in variable fractional-order systems provides significant flexibility in modulating dynamic behavior, offering valuable insights into the broader applicability of these methods in discrete fractional- order systems.
