Here, the diffusion coefficients are spatially varying (nonconstant) and can be same or different. To asymptotically stabilize the system, we first use a backstepping transformation to convert the original dynamics into a target dynamics with a new manipulable input and the perturbation. Then, the sliding mode algorithm is employed to design this discontinuous controller to suppress disturbances. In this case, we obtain the combined backstepping/sliding mode controller of the original dynamics, with which the closed-loop asymptotic stability is proved by the fractional Halanay's inequality. Fractional numerical examples are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed synthesis.
