Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="asjc995-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p id="asjc995-para-0007">In this paper, a dynamic state feedback is applied to control Hopf bifurcations arising from a fractional‐order Van Der Pol oscillator. The degree parameter indicating the strength of the nonlinear damping is chosen as the bifurcation parameter. It is shown that in the absences of the dynamic state feedback controller, the fractional‐order Van Der Pol oscillator loses the stability via the Hopf bifurcation early, and can maintain the stability only in a certain domain of the degree parameter. When applying the state feedback controller to the fractional‐order Van Der Pol oscillator, the onset of the undesirable Hopf bifurcation is postponed. Thus, the stability domain is extended, and the system possesses the stability in a larger parameter range. Numerical simulations are given to justify the validity of the dynamic state feedback controller in bifurcation controls.</p> </abstract>
