First,we extend the conventional controllability theorem to the fractional domain. Strictly mathematical analysis and proof are presented. Because Chua's circuit is a typical representative of nonlinear circuits, we study the controllability of the fractional order Chua's circuit in detail using the presented theorem. Numerical simulations and theoretical analysis are both presented, which are in agreement with each other.展开更多
