This paper addresses the robust admissibility problem in singular fractional-order continuous time systems. It is based on new admissibility conditions of singular fractional-order systems expressed in a set of strict linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). Then, a static output feedback controller is designed for the uncertain closed-loop system to be admissible. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed methods.

Controllability, Observability and Stability for a Class of Fractional-Order Linear Time-Invariant Control Systems

The definitions of controllability, observability and stability were presented for fractional-order linear systems. Using the Cayley-Hamilton theorem and Mittag-Leffler function in two parameters, the sufficient and necessary conditions of controllability and observability for such systems were derived. In terms of Lyapunov’s stability theory, using the theorems of Mittage-Leffler function in two parameters this paper directly derived the sufficient and necessary condition of stability for such systems. The results obtained are useful for the analysis and synthesis of fractional-order linear control systems.

The identification algorithm for commensurate order linear time-invariant fractional systems

An efficient identification algorithm is given for commensurate order linear time-invariant fractional systems. This algorithm can identify not only model coefficients of the system, but also its differential order at the same time. The basic idea is to change the system matrix into a diagonal one through basis transformation. This makes it possible to turn the system’s input-output relationships into the summation of several simple subsystems, and after the identification of these subsystems, the whole identification system is obtained which is algebraically equivalent to the former system. Finally an identification example verifies the effectiveness of the method previously mentioned.

Stabilizing controller design for nonlinear fractional order systems with time varying delays

To deal with stabilizing of nonlinear affine fractional order systems subject to time varying delays,two methods for finding an appropriate pseudo state feedback controller are discussed.In the first method,using the Mittag-Lefler function,Laplace transform and Gronwall inequality,a linear stabilizing controller is derived,which uses the fractional order of the delayed system and the upper bound of system nonlinear functions.In the second method,at first a sufficient stability condition for the delayed system is given in the form of a simple linear matrix inequality(LMI)which can easily be solved.Then,on the basis of this result,a stabilizing pseudo-state feedback controller is designed in which the controller gain matrix is easily computed by solving an LMI in terms of delay bounds.Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Research on controllability for a class of fractional-orderlinear control systems

The controllability for a class of fractional-order linear control systems is mainly investigated. The generalizations of the usual complete solution formulae of the fractional-order linear control systems are derived not only for time-invariant case but also for time-varying case. Several sufficient and necessary conditions for state controllability of such systems are established and the corresponding criteria for fractional-order time-invariant continuous-time systems are also obtained. The results obtained will be help for future study of fractional-order control systems.

A new kind of nonlinear fractional-order chaotic phenomenon in coupled systems： coexistence of anti-phase and complete synchronization

In this paper, we have found a kind of interesting nonlinear phenomenon hybrid synchronization in linearly coupled fractional-order chaotic systems. This new synchronization mechanism, i.e., part of state variables are anti- phase synchronized and part completely synchronized, can be achieved using a single linear controller with only one drive variable. Based on the stability theory of the fractional-order system, we investigated the possible existence of this new synchronization mechanism. Moreover, a helpful theorem, serving as a determinant for the gain of the controller, is also presented. Solutions of coupled systems are obtained numerically by an improved Adams Bashforth-Moulton algorithm. To support our theoretical analysis, simulation results are given.

Disturbance Observer Based Speed Control of PMSM Using Fractional Order PI Controller

In this paper, fractional order PI(FOPI) control is developed for speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). Designing the parameters for FOPI controller is a challenging task, especially for nonlinear systems like PMSM.All three PI controllers in the conventional vector controlled speed drive are replaced by FOPI controllers. Design of these FOPI controllers is based on the locally linearized model of PMSM around an operating point. This operating point changes with the load torque. The novelty of the work reported here is in use of Non Linear Disturbance Observer(NLDO) to estimate load torque to obtain this new operating point. All three FOPI controllers are then designed adaptively using this new operating point. The scheme is tested on simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK and results are presented.

Adaptive digital self-interference cancellation based on fractional order LMS in LFMCW radar

Adaptive digital self-interference cancellation(ADSIC)is a significant method to suppress self-interference and improve the performance of the linear frequency modulated continuous wave(LFMCW)radar.Due to efficient implementation structure,the conventional method based on least mean square(LMS)is widely used,but its performance is not sufficient for LFMCW radar.To achieve a better self-interference cancellation(SIC)result and more optimal radar performance,we present an ADSIC method based on fractional order LMS(FOLMS),which utilizes the multi-path cancellation structure and adaptively updates the weight coefficients of the cancellation system.First,we derive the iterative expression of the weight coefficients by using the fractional order derivative and short-term memory principle.Then,to solve the problem that it is difficult to select the parameters of the proposed method due to the non-stationary characteristics of radar transmitted signals,we construct the performance evaluation model of LFMCW radar,and analyze the relationship between the mean square deviation and the parameters of FOLMS.Finally,the theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed method has a better SIC performance than the conventional methods.

Robust Fractional-Order Proportional-Integral Observer for Synchronization of Chaotic Fractional-Order Systems

In this paper, we propose a robust fractional-order proportional-integral(FOPI) observer for the synchronization of nonlinear fractional-order chaotic systems. The convergence of the observer is proved, and sufficient conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs) approach by using an indirect Lyapunov method. The proposed FOPI observer is robust against Lipschitz additive nonlinear uncertainty. It is also compared to the fractional-order proportional(FOP) observer and its performance is illustrated through simulations done on the fractional-order chaotic Lorenz system.

This paper is concerned with the problem of the full-order observer design for a class of fractional-order Lipschitz nonlinear systems. By introducing a continuous frequency distributed equivalent model and using an indirect Lyapunov approach, the sufficient condition for asymptotic stability of the full-order observer error dynamic system is presented. The stability condition is obtained in terms of LMI, which is less conservative than the existing one. A numerical example demonstrates the validity of this approach.
