Abstract
We present a new fractional-order controller based on the Lyapunov stability theory and propose a control method which can control fractional chaotic and hyperchaotic systems whether systems are commensurate or incommensurate. The proposed control method is universal, simple, and theoretically rigorous. Numerical simulations are given for several fractional chaotic and hyperchaotic systems to verify the effectiveness and the universality of the proposed control method.
