# Characterizing chaos in a type of fractional Duffing's equation

• We characterize the chaos in a fractional Duffing's equation computing the Lyapunov exponents and the dimension of the strange attractor in the effective phase space of the system. We develop a specific analytical method to estimate all Lyapunov exponents and check the results with the fiduciary orbit technique and a time series estimation method.
