Fractional-order Chua's system: discretization, bifurcation and chaos

In this paper we are interested in the fractional-order form of Chua's system. A discretization process will be applied to obtain its discrete version. Fixed points and their asymptotic stability are investigated. Chaotic attractor, bifurcation and chaos for different values of the fractional-order parameter are discussed. We show that the proposed discretization method is different from other discretization methods, such as predictor-corrector and Euler methods, in the sense that our method is an approximation for the right-hand side of the system under study.
