Numerical analysis of a fractional-order chaotic system based on conformable fractional-order derivative

In this paper, the numerical solutions of conformable fractional-order linear and nonlinear equations are obtained by employing the constructed conformable Adomian decomposition method (CADM). We found that CADM is an effective method for numerical solution of conformable fractional-order differential equations. Taking the conformable fractional-order simplified Lorenz system as an example, the numerical solution and chaotic behaviors of the conformable fractional-order simplified Lorenz system are investigated. It is found that rich dynamics exist in the conformable fractional-order simplified Lorenz system, and the minimum order for chaos is even less than 2. The results are validated by means of bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov characteristic exponents and phase portraits.
