Chaotic synchronization and fractal interpolation-based image encryption: exploring event-triggered impulsive control in variable-order fractional lur’e systems

This paper investigates the event-triggered impulsive synchronization of a variable-order fractional chaotic Lur’e system with the application of fractal interpolation based image encryption. The variable-order fractional Lur’e system is modeled into fractional order Chua’s circuit model with short memory. The synchronization is achieved using event-triggered impulsive control and short memory for chaotic Lur’e systems, employing linear matrix inequalities. The variable-order fractional Chua’s circuit systems successfully accomplish their synchronization using both impulsive and event-triggered impulsive control. Furthermore, fractal interpolation function (with function scalings) is applied to reconstruct the chaotic attractors. The Riemann-Liouville variable-order fractional calculus of diverse fractal functions is also investigated in connection with the study on variable-order fractional systems. The interpolated sequence, along with the Arnold transform, modified Fisher Yates algorithm, and additive diffusion, is utilized to propose an image encryption algorithm. Various statistical analyses are conducted to assess the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
