In this research work, a novel fuzzy adaptive control is proposed to achieve a projective synchronization for a class of fractional-order chaotic systems with input nonlinearities (dead-zone together with sector nonlinearities). These master-slave systems under consideration are supposed to be with distinct models, different fractional-orders, unknown models, and dynamic external disturbances. The proposed control law consists of two main terms, namely: a fuzzy adaptive control term for appropriately approximating the uncertainties and a fractional-order variable-structure control term for robustly dealing with these inherent input nonlinearities. A Lyapunov approach is used to derive the updated laws and to prove the stability of the closed-loop control system. At last, a set of computer simulation results is carried out to illustrate and further validate the theoretical findings.
