Abstract
This paper considers the lag projective synchronization of fractional-order delayed chaotic systems. The lag projective synchronization is achieved through the use of comparison principle of linear fractional equation at the presence of time delay. Some sufficient conditions are obtained via a suitable controller. The results show that the slave system can synchronize the past state of the driver up to a scaling factor. Finally, two different structural fractional order delayed chaotic systems are considered in order to examine the effectiveness of the lag projective synchronization. Feasibility of the proposed method is validated through numerical simulations. (C) 2018 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
