1 Classical Stability Analysis

The study of stability of polynomial and related questions fordifferential equations goes back to XIX century Hurwitz (orRouth-Hurwitz) criterion [1] is a necessary and sufficientcondition for all the roots of a polynomial

Among other criteria concerning zeros distribution ofpolynomials we have tomentionMikhailov stability criterion[4] It states that all roots of a polynomial

with a constant matrix 119860 the characteristic polynomial ofwhich is 119875(119911)

A very general result on the zero location problem forthe polynomial is the Hermite-Biehler theorem [5] whichstates that the roots of 119892(119911) + 119894ℎ(119911) are all on the same sideof the real axis when 119892(119911) and ℎ(119911) are polynomials withreal coefficients if and only if the zeros of 119892(119911) and ℎ(119911)

are real and alternateTheHermite-Biehler theorem providesnecessary and sufficient conditions for Hurwitz stability ofreal polynomials in terms of an interlacing (alternating)property [6ndash8] Notice that if a given real polynomial is nota Hurwitz one then the Hermite-Biehler theorem does notprovide information on its roots distribution

During the last years several surveys addressed this topicsee for instance [9ndash12]This paper without being exhaustiveis complementary to the contents of such other works In ourpaper we introduced formally a selected set of methods tocharacterize the stability of fractional systems It is intendedto form a comprehensive text so that readers can follow easilythe concepts Furthermore the limitations of the knownmethods are also pointed out giving readers the opportunityto consider the open problems

Bearing these ideas in mind this paper is organized asfollows Sections 2 and 3 introduce fundamental aspectsnamely the concepts of quasi-polynomials and fractionalquasi-polynomials respectively Section 4 addresses themaincore of the paper the stability of fractional order systemsand is divided into eight subsections The section starts bypresenting general fractional order systems In the next sub-sections issues associated with linear time-invariant systemsare discussed in more details such as controllers positivesystems systems with delay and distributed discrete-timeand nonlinear systems Stability of closed-loop linear controlsystems becomes a major motivation of the paper Thereforefour examples in Section 5 deal with this topic FinallySection 6 outlines several techniques that are presentlyemerging and draws the main conclusions

2 Quasi-Polynomials

Pontryagin [13] gave a generalization of the Hermite-BiehlerTheorem which appeared to be very relevant formal tool forthe mathematical analysis of stability of quasi-polynomialsthat is of the functions of the following type

119865 (119911) =

119899

sum

119896=0

119891119896(119911) 119890

120582119896119911 (6)

where 119891119896(119911) are polynomials in 119911 with constant coefficients

and 120582119896 119896 = 0 119899 are real (or complex) numbers By

other words 119865(119911) is a sum where the terms are the productof and exponential and polynomial function with constantcoefficients In control theory such exponentials correspondto delays If 120582

119896are commensurable real numbers that is

120582119896

= 120582sdot119896 119896 = 0 119899 and 120582 gt 0 then the quasi-polynomial(6) can be written in the form

120575 (119911) = 119875 (119911 119890119911

) (7)

with

119875 (119911 119904) =

where 119875(119911 119904) is a polynomial function of two variables andthen if 119904 = 119890

119911 we get 120575(119911)Thus from this point of view the determination of the

zeros of a quasi-polynomial (7) by means of Pontryagintheorem can be considered to be a mathematical methodfor analysis of stabilization of a class of linear time invariantsystems with time delay (see eg [14])

the quasi-polynomial 120575(119911) to imaginary axis One can express120575(119894120596) = 119891(120596) + 119894119892(120596) where the real functions (of a realvariable) 119891(120596) and 119892(120596) are the real and imaginary parts of120575(119894120596) respectively Let one denote by 120596

the zeros of the functions 119891(120596) and 119892(120596) If all the zeros ofthe quasi-polynomial 120575(119911) lie to the left side of the imaginaryaxis then the zeros of the functions 119891(120596) and 119892(120596) are realalternating and

(1) all the zeros of the functions119891(120596) and 119892(120596) are real andalternate and the inequality (10) is satisfied for at leastone value 120596

(2) all the zeros of the function 119891(120596) are real and for eachzero of 119891(120596) the inequality (10) is satisfied that is119892(120596

(120596119894)119891(120596

119894) gt 0

Then all the zeros of the quasi-polynomial 120575(119911) lie to the leftside of the imaginary axis

In [15] quasi-polynomial of the type

119865 (119911) = 119860 (119911) + 119861 (119911) 119890minus120591119911 (11)

A notion of the principal term closely connected with thestability problem is used in this study namely the principalterm of quasi-polynomial (11) after premultiplying it by 119890

120591 has the highest value for some 119896 = 0 1 119899 From thePontryagin criterion follows that a quasi-polynomial with noprincipal term has infinitely many roots with arbitrary largepositive real parts Hence the presence of principal term in aquasi-polynomial is a necessary condition for its stability In[15] the following formula related zeros of quasi-polynomials119911119895and it coefficients are proved

In [24] new frequency domain methods for stabilityanalysis of linear continuous-time fractional order systemswith delays of the retarded type are proposed The methods

are obtained by generalization to the class of fractional ordersystems with delays of the Mikhailov stability criterion andthe modified Mikhailov stability criterion known from thetheory of natural order systems without and with delays

The following results concerning stability of the consid-ered system are proved in [24]

(1) The fractional quasi-polynomial (21) of commensu-rate degree satisfies the condition 119863(119911) = 0 Re 119911 ge 0 if andonly if all the zeros of the associated natural degree quasi-polynomial (22) satisfy the condition

where arg(120582) means the principal branch of the multivaluedfunction Arg(120582) 120582 isin C that is arg(120582) isin (minus120587 120587]

(2) The fractional quasi-polynomial (21) of commensu-rate degree is not stable for any 120572 gt 1

(3) The fractional characteristic quasi-polynomial (21) ofcommensurate degree is stable if and only if

Δ0le120596lt+infin

arg (119863 (119894120596)) =119899120587

which means that the plot of 119863(119894120596) with 120596 increasing from0 to +infin runs in the positive direction by 119899 quadrants of thecomplex plane missing the origin of this plane

(4)The fractional characteristic quasi-polynomial (21) (ofcommensurate or noncommensurate degree) is stable if andonly if

Δminusinfinlt120596lt+infin

arg (120595 (119894120596)) = 0 (25)

where

120595 (119911) =119863 (119911)

119908119903(119911)

(26)

and 119908119903(119911) can be chosen for example as

119908119903(119911) = 119886

(28)

where119908 = log 119911 Application of formula (28) needs to be verycareful since119908 is now the point on the Riemann surface of thelogarithmic function (see eg [22])

An approach describing the stability of fractional quasi-polynomials in terms of zeros distribution of these polyno-mials on certain Riemann surfaces is widely used now (seeeg survey paper [10] and references therein) Sometimes it iscalled ldquoroot-locusmethodrdquoThe characteristic result obtainedwith the application of this method is the following [25]

(5) The fractional order system with characteristic poly-nomial 119908(119911) is stable if and only if 119908(119911) has no zeros in theclosed right-half of the Riemann surface that is

119908 (119911) = 0 forallRe 119911 ge 0 (29)

The fractional order polynomial 119908(119911) is a multivaluedfunction whose domain is a Riemann surface In generalthis surface has an infinite number of sheets and thus thefractional polynomial has (in general) an infinite number ofzerosWe are interested only in those zeros which are situatedon the main sheet of the Riemann surface which can be fixedin the following way minus120587 lt arg(119911) lt 120587

Recently the notion of robust stability was introducedfor systems with characteristic polynomials dependent onuncertainty parameter (see [26ndash29]) In [25] this notion isapplied to the convex combination of two fractional degreespolynomials

119882(119911 119902) = 119908 (119911 119902) 119902 isin 119876 = [0 1] (30)

119908 (119911 119902) = (1 minus 119902)119908119886(119911) + 119902119908

119887(119911) (31)

where 119902 is uncertainty parameter and119908119886(119911) 119908

119887(119911) are frac-

tional degree polynomialsThe family (30) of fractional degree polynomials is called

robust stable if polynomial 119908(119911 119902) is stable for all 119902 isin 119876Generalization of the Mikhailov-type criterion (see [24])

to this case has the following form [25](6) Let the nominal polynomial 119908

119886(119911) be stable The

family of polynomials (30) is robust stable if and only if theplot of the function

4 Stability of Fractional Order Systems

Several applications of the results on stability of the fractionalpolynomials to the systems describing different processes andphenomena are presented for example [30 31] Some ofthese results are closely related to the recent achievementsand the theory and applications of fractional calculus andfractional differential equations (see [32ndash34]) The results inthis area need to be systematized as from the point of theideas technical point of view

Since the right hand-side of this relation is a rational functionof 119904120572 then one can represent 119866(119904) in the form of generalizedsimple fractions The most descriptive representation of sucha type is that for 119899 gt 119898

The stability analysis of the fractional order system givesthe following results (see [10 24 39 40])

To formulate the result in incommensurate case we usethe concept of bounded input-bounded output (BIBO) orexternal stability (see [10 39])

a PID controller but the proportional component isreplaced with a tilted component having a transferfunction 119904 to the power of (minus1119899) The resultingtransfer function of the TID controller has the form

where 119879 119868 and 119863 are the controller constants and 119899

is a non-zero real number preferably between 2 and3 The transfer function of TID compensator moreclosely approximates an optimal transfer functionand an overall response is achieved which is closer tothe theoretical optimal response determined by Bode[74]

44 Positive Fractional Order Systems A new concept(notion) of the practical stability of the positive fractional2D linear systems is proposed in [77] Necessary and suf-ficient conditions for the practical stability of the positivefractional 2D systems are established It is shown that thepositive fractional 2D systems are practically unstable (1) if acorresponding positive 2D system is asymptotically unstableand (2) if some matrices of the 2D system are nonnegative

Simple necessary and sufficient conditions for practicalstability independent of the length of practical implementa-tion are established in [78] It is shown that practical stabilityof the system is equivalent to asymptotic stability of thecorresponding standard positive discrete-time systems of thesame order

45 Fractional Order Systems with Delay Fractional ordersystems with delay meet a number of important applications(see eg [31 49]) There are several important works aboutstability of closed-loop fractional order systemscontrollerswith time delays Some relevant examples can be found in[79ndash81]

To describe simplest fractional order systems with delaylet us introduce some notations (see [82])

Let C([119886 119887]R119899

) be the set of continuous functionsmapping the interval [119886 119887] to R119899

) One may wish to identifya maximum time delay 119903 of a system In this case weare interested in the set of continuous function mapping[minus119903 0] to R119899

) for which we simplify the notation to C =

C([minus119903 0]R119899

) For any119860 gt 0 and any continuous function oftime x isin C([119905

119905(120579) isin C be a

segment of function defined as x119905(120579) = x(119905 + 120579) minus119903 le 120579 le 0

Let the fractional nonlinear time-delay system be thesystem of the following type

119862

119863q119905x (119905) = f (119905 x

x (1199050) = 120593 (55)

We can also mention the possibility to apply the study offractional order stability methods of Pade (or Hermite-Pade)approximation (see eg [100ndash102])

In conclusion this paper reviewed themain contributionsthat were proposed during the last years for analysing thestability of fractional order systems Different problems were

addressed such as control systems including a delay or witha distributed nature as well as discrete-time and nonlinearsystemsThe paper presented in a comprehensive and conciseway many details that are scattered in the literature andprovide researchers a reference text for work in this area

with a constant matrix 119860 the characteristic polynomial ofwhich is 119875(119911)

A very general result on the zero location problem forthe polynomial is the Hermite-Biehler theorem [5] whichstates that the roots of 119892(119911) + 119894ℎ(119911) are all on the same sideof the real axis when 119892(119911) and ℎ(119911) are polynomials withreal coefficients if and only if the zeros of 119892(119911) and ℎ(119911)

are real and alternateTheHermite-Biehler theorem providesnecessary and sufficient conditions for Hurwitz stability ofreal polynomials in terms of an interlacing (alternating)property [6ndash8] Notice that if a given real polynomial is nota Hurwitz one then the Hermite-Biehler theorem does notprovide information on its roots distribution

During the last years several surveys addressed this topicsee for instance [9ndash12]This paper without being exhaustiveis complementary to the contents of such other works In ourpaper we introduced formally a selected set of methods tocharacterize the stability of fractional systems It is intendedto form a comprehensive text so that readers can follow easilythe concepts Furthermore the limitations of the knownmethods are also pointed out giving readers the opportunityto consider the open problems

Bearing these ideas in mind this paper is organized asfollows Sections 2 and 3 introduce fundamental aspectsnamely the concepts of quasi-polynomials and fractionalquasi-polynomials respectively Section 4 addresses themaincore of the paper the stability of fractional order systemsand is divided into eight subsections The section starts bypresenting general fractional order systems In the next sub-sections issues associated with linear time-invariant systemsare discussed in more details such as controllers positivesystems systems with delay and distributed discrete-timeand nonlinear systems Stability of closed-loop linear controlsystems becomes a major motivation of the paper Thereforefour examples in Section 5 deal with this topic FinallySection 6 outlines several techniques that are presentlyemerging and draws the main conclusions

2 Quasi-Polynomials

Pontryagin [13] gave a generalization of the Hermite-BiehlerTheorem which appeared to be very relevant formal tool forthe mathematical analysis of stability of quasi-polynomialsthat is of the functions of the following type

119865 (119911) =

119899

sum

119896=0

119891119896(119911) 119890

120582119896119911 (6)

where 119891119896(119911) are polynomials in 119911 with constant coefficients

and 120582119896 119896 = 0 119899 are real (or complex) numbers By

other words 119865(119911) is a sum where the terms are the productof and exponential and polynomial function with constantcoefficients In control theory such exponentials correspondto delays If 120582

119896are commensurable real numbers that is

120582119896

= 120582sdot119896 119896 = 0 119899 and 120582 gt 0 then the quasi-polynomial(6) can be written in the form

120575 (119911) = 119875 (119911 119890119911

) (7)

with

119875 (119911 119904) =

119898

sum

119895=0

119899

119896=0

119911119895

119904120582119896

119911 119904 isin C (8)

where 119875(119911 119904) is a polynomial function of two variables andthen if 119904 = 119890

119911 we get 120575(119911)Thus from this point of view the determination of the

zeros of a quasi-polynomial (7) by means of Pontryagintheorem can be considered to be a mathematical methodfor analysis of stabilization of a class of linear time invariantsystems with time delay (see eg [14])

where 119886119895119896are constant coefficients

PontryaginTheorem (see [13]) Let 120575(119911) = 119875(119911 119890119911

) be aquasi-polynomial of the type (7) where 119875(119911 119904) is a polynomialfunction in two variables with real coefficients Suppose thatthe ldquooldestrdquo coefficient 119886

119898119899= 0 Let 120575(119894120596) be the restriction of

the quasi-polynomial 120575(119911) to imaginary axis One can express120575(119894120596) = 119891(120596) + 119894119892(120596) where the real functions (of a realvariable) 119891(120596) and 119892(120596) are the real and imaginary parts of120575(119894120596) respectively Let one denote by 120596

In [24] new frequency domain methods for stabilityanalysis of linear continuous-time fractional order systemswith delays of the retarded type are proposed The methods

are obtained by generalization to the class of fractional ordersystems with delays of the Mikhailov stability criterion andthe modified Mikhailov stability criterion known from thetheory of natural order systems without and with delays

The following results concerning stability of the consid-ered system are proved in [24]

(1) The fractional quasi-polynomial (21) of commensu-rate degree satisfies the condition 119863(119911) = 0 Re 119911 ge 0 if andonly if all the zeros of the associated natural degree quasi-polynomial (22) satisfy the condition

(2) The fractional quasi-polynomial (21) of commensu-rate degree is not stable for any 120572 gt 1

(3) The fractional characteristic quasi-polynomial (21) ofcommensurate degree is stable if and only if

Δ0le120596lt+infin

arg (119863 (119894120596)) =119899120587

which means that the plot of 119863(119894120596) with 120596 increasing from0 to +infin runs in the positive direction by 119899 quadrants of thecomplex plane missing the origin of this plane

(4)The fractional characteristic quasi-polynomial (21) (ofcommensurate or noncommensurate degree) is stable if andonly if

Δminusinfinlt120596lt+infin

arg (120595 (119894120596)) = 0 (25)

where119908 = log 119911 Application of formula (28) needs to be verycareful since119908 is now the point on the Riemann surface of thelogarithmic function (see eg [22])

An approach describing the stability of fractional quasi-polynomials in terms of zeros distribution of these polyno-mials on certain Riemann surfaces is widely used now (seeeg survey paper [10] and references therein) Sometimes it iscalled ldquoroot-locusmethodrdquoThe characteristic result obtainedwith the application of this method is the following [25]

(5) The fractional order system with characteristic poly-nomial 119908(119911) is stable if and only if 119908(119911) has no zeros in theclosed right-half of the Riemann surface that is

119908 (119911) = 0 forallRe 119911 ge 0 (29)

The fractional order polynomial 119908(119911) is a multivaluedfunction whose domain is a Riemann surface In generalthis surface has an infinite number of sheets and thus thefractional polynomial has (in general) an infinite number ofzerosWe are interested only in those zeros which are situatedon the main sheet of the Riemann surface which can be fixedin the following way minus120587 lt arg(119911) lt 120587

Recently the notion of robust stability was introducedfor systems with characteristic polynomials dependent onuncertainty parameter (see [26ndash29]) In [25] this notion isapplied to the convex combination of two fractional degreespolynomials

119882(119911 119902) = 119908 (119911 119902) 119902 isin 119876 = [0 1] (30)

119887(119911) (31)

where 119902 is uncertainty parameter and119908119886(119911) 119908

119887(119911) are frac-

tional degree polynomialsThe family (30) of fractional degree polynomials is called

robust stable if polynomial 119908(119911 119902) is stable for all 119902 isin 119876Generalization of the Mikhailov-type criterion (see [24])

to this case has the following form [25](6) Let the nominal polynomial 119908

119886(119911) be stable The

family of polynomials (30) is robust stable if and only if theplot of the function

120599 (119895120596) =119908

4 Stability of Fractional Order Systems

Several applications of the results on stability of the fractionalpolynomials to the systems describing different processes andphenomena are presented for example [30 31] Some ofthese results are closely related to the recent achievementsand the theory and applications of fractional calculus andfractional differential equations (see [32ndash34]) The results inthis area need to be systematized as from the point of theideas technical point of view

To formulate the result in incommensurate case we usethe concept of bounded input-bounded output (BIBO) orexternal stability (see [10 39])

Several new results on stability controllability andobservability of system (47) are presented in the recentmonograph [49] (see also [37 50ndash52]) is proposed We cansay that control theory for fractional order systems becomes aspecial branch of fractional order systems andmention in thisconnection several important papers developing this theory[53ndash67] A number of applications of the fractional ordersystems are presented in [30 31 68]

43 Fractional Order Controllers The fractional-order con-troller (FOC) PI120582D120575 (also known as PI120582D120583 controller) wasproposed in [33] as a generalization of the PID controller withintegrator of real order120582 anddifferentiator of real order120575Thetransfer function of such controller in the Laplace domain hasthis form

In [69] a classification of different modifications of thefractional PI120582D120575 controllers (see also [49 70ndash72])

(i) CRONE controller (1st generation) characterized bythe bandlimited lead effect

There are a number of real-life applications of threegenerations of the CRONE controller [73]

(ii) Fractional lead-lag compensator [49] which is givenby

reference function [74 75] Bode suggested an idealshape of the loop transfer function in his work ondesign of feedback amplifiers in 1945 Ideal looptransfer function has the form

where 120596119892119888is desired crossover frequency and 120572 is the

slope of the ideal cut-off characteristic The Nyquistcurve for ideal Bode transfer function is simply astraight line through the origin with arg(119871(119895120596)) =

1205721205872(iv) TID compensator [76] which has structure similar to

a PID controller but the proportional component isreplaced with a tilted component having a transferfunction 119904 to the power of (minus1119899) The resultingtransfer function of the TID controller has the form

119862 (119904) =119879

119904+ 119863119904 (53)

where 119879 119868 and 119863 are the controller constants and 119899

is a non-zero real number preferably between 2 and3 The transfer function of TID compensator moreclosely approximates an optimal transfer functionand an overall response is achieved which is closer tothe theoretical optimal response determined by Bode[74]

Different methods for determination of PI120582D120575 controllerparameters satisfying the given requirements are proposed(see eg [69] and references therein)

44 Positive Fractional Order Systems A new concept(notion) of the practical stability of the positive fractional2D linear systems is proposed in [77] Necessary and suf-ficient conditions for the practical stability of the positivefractional 2D systems are established It is shown that thepositive fractional 2D systems are practically unstable (1) if acorresponding positive 2D system is asymptotically unstableand (2) if some matrices of the 2D system are nonnegative

Simple necessary and sufficient conditions for practicalstability independent of the length of practical implementa-tion are established in [78] It is shown that practical stabilityof the system is equivalent to asymptotic stability of thecorresponding standard positive discrete-time systems of thesame order

Thus in [95] it is investigates the qualitative behaviourof a perturbed fractional order differential equations withCaputo derivatives that differs in initial position and initialtime with respect to the unperturbed fractional order dif-ferential equation with Caputo derivatives In [96] the sta-bility of 119899-dimensional linear fractional differential systemswith commensurate order and the corresponding perturbedsystems is investigated By using the Laplace transformthe asymptotic expansion of the Mittag-Leffler functionand the Gronwallrsquos inequality some conditions on stabilityand asymptotic stability are given In [97] the stabilityof nonlinear fractional differential systems with Caputoderivatives by utilizing a Lyapunov-type function is studiedTaking into account the relation between asymptotic stabilityand generalized Mittag-Leffler stability the condition onLyapunov-type function is weakened

5 Some Examples

In this section we analyze the stability of the four systems bymeans of the root locus and the polar diagram For calculatingthe root-locus the algorithmproposed in [98] is adoptedTheclosed-loop system is constituted by a controller and a plantwith transfer functions 119862(119904) and 119866(119904) respectively and unitfeedback

In [24] new frequency domain methods for stabilityanalysis of linear continuous-time fractional order systemswith delays of the retarded type are proposed The methods

are obtained by generalization to the class of fractional ordersystems with delays of the Mikhailov stability criterion andthe modified Mikhailov stability criterion known from thetheory of natural order systems without and with delays

The following results concerning stability of the consid-ered system are proved in [24]

(1) The fractional quasi-polynomial (21) of commensu-rate degree satisfies the condition 119863(119911) = 0 Re 119911 ge 0 if andonly if all the zeros of the associated natural degree quasi-polynomial (22) satisfy the condition

where arg(120582) means the principal branch of the multivaluedfunction Arg(120582) 120582 isin C that is arg(120582) isin (minus120587 120587]

(2) The fractional quasi-polynomial (21) of commensu-rate degree is not stable for any 120572 gt 1

(3) The fractional characteristic quasi-polynomial (21) ofcommensurate degree is stable if and only if

Δ0le120596lt+infin

arg (119863 (119894120596)) =119899120587

which means that the plot of 119863(119894120596) with 120596 increasing from0 to +infin runs in the positive direction by 119899 quadrants of thecomplex plane missing the origin of this plane

(4)The fractional characteristic quasi-polynomial (21) (ofcommensurate or noncommensurate degree) is stable if andonly if

Δminusinfinlt120596lt+infin

arg (120595 (119894120596)) = 0 (25)

where

120595 (119911) =119863 (119911)

119908119903(119911)

(26)

and 119908119903(119911) can be chosen for example as

119908119903(119911) = 119886

(28)

where119908 = log 119911 Application of formula (28) needs to be verycareful since119908 is now the point on the Riemann surface of thelogarithmic function (see eg [22])

An approach describing the stability of fractional quasi-polynomials in terms of zeros distribution of these polyno-mials on certain Riemann surfaces is widely used now (seeeg survey paper [10] and references therein) Sometimes it iscalled ldquoroot-locusmethodrdquoThe characteristic result obtainedwith the application of this method is the following [25]

(5) The fractional order system with characteristic poly-nomial 119908(119911) is stable if and only if 119908(119911) has no zeros in theclosed right-half of the Riemann surface that is

119908 (119911) = 0 forallRe 119911 ge 0 (29)

The fractional order polynomial 119908(119911) is a multivaluedfunction whose domain is a Riemann surface In generalthis surface has an infinite number of sheets and thus thefractional polynomial has (in general) an infinite number ofzerosWe are interested only in those zeros which are situatedon the main sheet of the Riemann surface which can be fixedin the following way minus120587 lt arg(119911) lt 120587

Recently the notion of robust stability was introducedfor systems with characteristic polynomials dependent onuncertainty parameter (see [26ndash29]) In [25] this notion isapplied to the convex combination of two fractional degreespolynomials

119882(119911 119902) = 119908 (119911 119902) 119902 isin 119876 = [0 1] (30)

119908 (119911 119902) = (1 minus 119902)119908119886(119911) + 119902119908

119887(119911) (31)

where 119902 is uncertainty parameter and119908119886(119911) 119908

119887(119911) are frac-

tional degree polynomialsThe family (30) of fractional degree polynomials is called

robust stable if polynomial 119908(119911 119902) is stable for all 119902 isin 119876Generalization of the Mikhailov-type criterion (see [24])

to this case has the following form [25](6) Let the nominal polynomial 119908

119886(119911) be stable The

family of polynomials (30) is robust stable if and only if theplot of the function

120599 (119895120596) =119908

119887(119895120596)

120596 isin Ω = [0infin) (32)

does not cross the nonpositive part (minusinfin 0] of the real axis inthe complex plane

4 Stability of Fractional Order Systems

Several applications of the results on stability of the fractionalpolynomials to the systems describing different processes andphenomena are presented for example [30 31] Some ofthese results are closely related to the recent achievementsand the theory and applications of fractional calculus andfractional differential equations (see [32ndash34]) The results inthis area need to be systematized as from the point of theideas technical point of view

= 119896120572 119896 = 0 119898 then system (33) is calledcommensurate order system Usually it is supposed that par-ameter 120572 satisfies the inequality 0 lt 120572 lt 1 In all other casessystem (33) is called incommensurate order system Anywayif parameters 120572 and 120573 are rational numbers then this casecan be considered as commensurate one with 120572 = 1119873

with minus120582119894being the 119894th root of the generalized polynomial 119875(119904

To formulate the result in incommensurate case we usethe concept of bounded input-bounded output (BIBO) orexternal stability (see [10 39])

Several new results on stability controllability andobservability of system (47) are presented in the recentmonograph [49] (see also [37 50ndash52]) is proposed We cansay that control theory for fractional order systems becomes aspecial branch of fractional order systems andmention in thisconnection several important papers developing this theory[53ndash67] A number of applications of the fractional ordersystems are presented in [30 31 68]

43 Fractional Order Controllers The fractional-order con-troller (FOC) PI120582D120575 (also known as PI120582D120583 controller) wasproposed in [33] as a generalization of the PID controller withintegrator of real order120582 anddifferentiator of real order120575Thetransfer function of such controller in the Laplace domain hasthis form

In [69] a classification of different modifications of thefractional PI120582D120575 controllers (see also [49 70ndash72])

(i) CRONE controller (1st generation) characterized bythe bandlimited lead effect

There are a number of real-life applications of threegenerations of the CRONE controller [73]

(ii) Fractional lead-lag compensator [49] which is givenby

reference function [74 75] Bode suggested an idealshape of the loop transfer function in his work ondesign of feedback amplifiers in 1945 Ideal looptransfer function has the form

where 120596119892119888is desired crossover frequency and 120572 is the

slope of the ideal cut-off characteristic The Nyquistcurve for ideal Bode transfer function is simply astraight line through the origin with arg(119871(119895120596)) =

1205721205872(iv) TID compensator [76] which has structure similar to

a PID controller but the proportional component isreplaced with a tilted component having a transferfunction 119904 to the power of (minus1119899) The resultingtransfer function of the TID controller has the form

119862 (119904) =119879

1199041119899+

119868

119904+ 119863119904 (53)

where 119879 119868 and 119863 are the controller constants and 119899

is a non-zero real number preferably between 2 and3 The transfer function of TID compensator moreclosely approximates an optimal transfer functionand an overall response is achieved which is closer tothe theoretical optimal response determined by Bode[74]

Different methods for determination of PI120582D120575 controllerparameters satisfying the given requirements are proposed(see eg [69] and references therein)

44 Positive Fractional Order Systems A new concept(notion) of the practical stability of the positive fractional2D linear systems is proposed in [77] Necessary and suf-ficient conditions for the practical stability of the positivefractional 2D systems are established It is shown that thepositive fractional 2D systems are practically unstable (1) if acorresponding positive 2D system is asymptotically unstableand (2) if some matrices of the 2D system are nonnegative

Simple necessary and sufficient conditions for practicalstability independent of the length of practical implementa-tion are established in [78] It is shown that practical stabilityof the system is equivalent to asymptotic stability of thecorresponding standard positive discrete-time systems of thesame order

Stability analysis of such system is performed for example[89] (see also [90 91])

The paper [92] is devoted to controllability analysis ofdiscrete-time fractional systems

x (0) = c(66)

It has been mentioned in [39] that exponential stabilitycannot be used to characterize the asymptotic stability offractional order systems A new definition of power lawstability was introduced [93]

Definition 5 Trajectory x(119905) = 0 of the system (66) is powerlaw 119905

such that

Power law 119905minus119902 asymptotic stability is a special case of the

Mittag-Leffler stability [94] which has the following form

Among the many methods that have been proposed forthe study of ldquodifferent kinds of stability definitionsrdquo of non-linear fractional order systems (66) wemention perturbationanalysis

Thus in [95] it is investigates the qualitative behaviourof a perturbed fractional order differential equations withCaputo derivatives that differs in initial position and initialtime with respect to the unperturbed fractional order dif-ferential equation with Caputo derivatives In [96] the sta-bility of 119899-dimensional linear fractional differential systemswith commensurate order and the corresponding perturbedsystems is investigated By using the Laplace transformthe asymptotic expansion of the Mittag-Leffler functionand the Gronwallrsquos inequality some conditions on stabilityand asymptotic stability are given In [97] the stabilityof nonlinear fractional differential systems with Caputoderivatives by utilizing a Lyapunov-type function is studiedTaking into account the relation between asymptotic stabilityand generalized Mittag-Leffler stability the condition onLyapunov-type function is weakened

5 Some Examples

4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

are obtained by generalization to the class of fractional ordersystems with delays of the Mikhailov stability criterion andthe modified Mikhailov stability criterion known from thetheory of natural order systems without and with delays

The following results concerning stability of the consid-ered system are proved in [24]

(1) The fractional quasi-polynomial (21) of commensu-rate degree satisfies the condition 119863(119911) = 0 Re 119911 ge 0 if andonly if all the zeros of the associated natural degree quasi-polynomial (22) satisfy the condition

1003816100381610038161003816arg (120582)1003816100381610038161003816 gt

120572120587

where arg(120582) means the principal branch of the multivaluedfunction Arg(120582) 120582 isin C that is arg(120582) isin (minus120587 120587]

(2) The fractional quasi-polynomial (21) of commensu-rate degree is not stable for any 120572 gt 1

(3) The fractional characteristic quasi-polynomial (21) ofcommensurate degree is stable if and only if

Δ0le120596lt+infin

arg (119863 (119894120596)) =119899120587

2 (24)

which means that the plot of 119863(119894120596) with 120596 increasing from0 to +infin runs in the positive direction by 119899 quadrants of thecomplex plane missing the origin of this plane

(4)The fractional characteristic quasi-polynomial (21) (ofcommensurate or noncommensurate degree) is stable if andonly if

Δminusinfinlt120596lt+infin

arg (120595 (119894120596)) = 0 (25)

where

120595 (119911) =119863 (119911)

119908119903(119911)

(26)

and 119908119903(119911) can be chosen for example as

119908119903(119911) = 119886

0119899(119911 + 119888)

120572119899 119888 gt 0 (27)

Remark 1 Stability of fractional polynomials is related to thestability of ordinary quasi-polynomials due to the followingrelation

120572119899119908

(28)

where119908 = log 119911 Application of formula (28) needs to be verycareful since119908 is now the point on the Riemann surface of thelogarithmic function (see eg [22])

An approach describing the stability of fractional quasi-polynomials in terms of zeros distribution of these polyno-mials on certain Riemann surfaces is widely used now (seeeg survey paper [10] and references therein) Sometimes it iscalled ldquoroot-locusmethodrdquoThe characteristic result obtainedwith the application of this method is the following [25]

(5) The fractional order system with characteristic poly-nomial 119908(119911) is stable if and only if 119908(119911) has no zeros in theclosed right-half of the Riemann surface that is

119908 (119911) = 0 forallRe 119911 ge 0 (29)

The fractional order polynomial 119908(119911) is a multivaluedfunction whose domain is a Riemann surface In generalthis surface has an infinite number of sheets and thus thefractional polynomial has (in general) an infinite number ofzerosWe are interested only in those zeros which are situatedon the main sheet of the Riemann surface which can be fixedin the following way minus120587 lt arg(119911) lt 120587

Recently the notion of robust stability was introducedfor systems with characteristic polynomials dependent onuncertainty parameter (see [26ndash29]) In [25] this notion isapplied to the convex combination of two fractional degreespolynomials

119882(119911 119902) = 119908 (119911 119902) 119902 isin 119876 = [0 1] (30)

119908 (119911 119902) = (1 minus 119902)119908119886(119911) + 119902119908

119887(119911) (31)

where 119902 is uncertainty parameter and119908119886(119911) 119908

119887(119911) are frac-

tional degree polynomialsThe family (30) of fractional degree polynomials is called

robust stable if polynomial 119908(119911 119902) is stable for all 119902 isin 119876Generalization of the Mikhailov-type criterion (see [24])

to this case has the following form [25](6) Let the nominal polynomial 119908

119886(119911) be stable The

family of polynomials (30) is robust stable if and only if theplot of the function

120599 (119895120596) =119908

119887(119895120596)

119908119886(119895120596)

120596 isin Ω = [0infin) (32)

does not cross the nonpositive part (minusinfin 0] of the real axis inthe complex plane

4 Stability of Fractional Order Systems

Several applications of the results on stability of the fractionalpolynomials to the systems describing different processes andphenomena are presented for example [30 31] Some ofthese results are closely related to the recent achievementsand the theory and applications of fractional calculus andfractional differential equations (see [32ndash34]) The results inthis area need to be systematized as from the point of theideas technical point of view

41 General Fractional Order Systems A general fractionalorder system can be described by a fractional differentialequation of the form

= 119896120572 119896 = 0 119898 then system (33) is calledcommensurate order system Usually it is supposed that par-ameter 120572 satisfies the inequality 0 lt 120572 lt 1 In all other casessystem (33) is called incommensurate order system Anywayif parameters 120572 and 120573 are rational numbers then this casecan be considered as commensurate one with 120572 = 1119873

(119904120572)

(35)

Since the right hand-side of this relation is a rational functionof 119904120572 then one can represent 119866(119904) in the form of generalizedsimple fractions The most descriptive representation of sucha type is that for 119899 gt 119898

where minus120582119894is a root of polynomial 119875(119911) of multiplicity 119903

119894 In

particular if all roots are simple then the representation (36)has the most simple form

43 Fractional Order Controllers The fractional-order con-troller (FOC) PI120582D120575 (also known as PI120582D120583 controller) wasproposed in [33] as a generalization of the PID controller withintegrator of real order120582 anddifferentiator of real order120575Thetransfer function of such controller in the Laplace domain hasthis form

In [69] a classification of different modifications of thefractional PI120582D120575 controllers (see also [49 70ndash72])

There are a number of real-life applications of threegenerations of the CRONE controller [73]

a PID controller but the proportional component isreplaced with a tilted component having a transferfunction 119904 to the power of (minus1119899) The resultingtransfer function of the TID controller has the form

where 119879 119868 and 119863 are the controller constants and 119899

is a non-zero real number preferably between 2 and3 The transfer function of TID compensator moreclosely approximates an optimal transfer functionand an overall response is achieved which is closer tothe theoretical optimal response determined by Bode[74]

Different methods for determination of PI120582D120575 controllerparameters satisfying the given requirements are proposed(see eg [69] and references therein)

44 Positive Fractional Order Systems A new concept(notion) of the practical stability of the positive fractional2D linear systems is proposed in [77] Necessary and suf-ficient conditions for the practical stability of the positivefractional 2D systems are established It is shown that thepositive fractional 2D systems are practically unstable (1) if acorresponding positive 2D system is asymptotically unstableand (2) if some matrices of the 2D system are nonnegative

Simple necessary and sufficient conditions for practicalstability independent of the length of practical implementa-tion are established in [78] It is shown that practical stabilityof the system is equivalent to asymptotic stability of thecorresponding standard positive discrete-time systems of thesame order

Since the right hand-side of this relation is a rational functionof 119904120572 then one can represent 119866(119904) in the form of generalizedsimple fractions The most descriptive representation of sucha type is that for 119899 gt 119898

The stability analysis of the fractional order system givesthe following results (see [10 24 39 40])

Theorem 2 A commensurate order system with transferfunction (37) is stable if and only if

1003816100381610038161003816arg (120582119894)1003816100381610038161003816 gt 120572

with minus120582119894being the 119894th root of the generalized polynomial 119875(119904

120572

)

To formulate the result in incommensurate case we usethe concept of bounded input-bounded output (BIBO) orexternal stability (see [10 39])

Theorem 3 Let the transfer function of an incommensurateorder system be represented in the form

Such system is BIBO stable if and only if parameters 119902119894and

In (47) x isin R119899 is an unknown state vector and u isin

R119903 y isin R119901 are the control vector and output vector res-pectively Given (constant) matrices A B and C are of thefollowing size A isin R119899times119899

system (47) (see [40 45ndash48])

Theorem 4 Commensurate system (47) is stable if the follow-ing conditions are satisfied

Several new results on stability controllability andobservability of system (47) are presented in the recentmonograph [49] (see also [37 50ndash52]) is proposed We cansay that control theory for fractional order systems becomes aspecial branch of fractional order systems andmention in thisconnection several important papers developing this theory[53ndash67] A number of applications of the fractional ordersystems are presented in [30 31 68]

43 Fractional Order Controllers The fractional-order con-troller (FOC) PI120582D120575 (also known as PI120582D120583 controller) wasproposed in [33] as a generalization of the PID controller withintegrator of real order120582 anddifferentiator of real order120575Thetransfer function of such controller in the Laplace domain hasthis form

119862 (119904) =119880 (119904)

where 119870119901is the proportional constant 119879

119894is the integration

constant and 119879119889is the differentiation constant

In [69] a classification of different modifications of thefractional PI120582D120575 controllers (see also [49 70ndash72])

(i) CRONE controller (1st generation) characterized bythe bandlimited lead effect

119862 (119904) = 1198620

(1 + 119904120596119887)119903

(1 + 119904120596ℎ)119903minus1

(50)

There are a number of real-life applications of threegenerations of the CRONE controller [73]

(ii) Fractional lead-lag compensator [49] which is givenby

119862 (119904) = 119896119888(

119904 + 1120582

119904 + 1120582)

119903

(51)

where 0 lt 119904 lt 1 120582 isin R and 119903 isin R(iii) Noninteger integral and its application to control as a

reference function [74 75] Bode suggested an idealshape of the loop transfer function in his work ondesign of feedback amplifiers in 1945 Ideal looptransfer function has the form

119871 (119904) = (119904

120596119892119888

)

120572

(120572 lt 0) (52)

where 120596119892119888is desired crossover frequency and 120572 is the

slope of the ideal cut-off characteristic The Nyquistcurve for ideal Bode transfer function is simply astraight line through the origin with arg(119871(119895120596)) =

1205721205872(iv) TID compensator [76] which has structure similar to

a PID controller but the proportional component isreplaced with a tilted component having a transferfunction 119904 to the power of (minus1119899) The resultingtransfer function of the TID controller has the form

119862 (119904) =119879

1199041119899+

119868

119904+ 119863119904 (53)

where 119879 119868 and 119863 are the controller constants and 119899

is a non-zero real number preferably between 2 and3 The transfer function of TID compensator moreclosely approximates an optimal transfer functionand an overall response is achieved which is closer tothe theoretical optimal response determined by Bode[74]

Different methods for determination of PI120582D120575 controllerparameters satisfying the given requirements are proposed(see eg [69] and references therein)

44 Positive Fractional Order Systems A new concept(notion) of the practical stability of the positive fractional2D linear systems is proposed in [77] Necessary and suf-ficient conditions for the practical stability of the positivefractional 2D systems are established It is shown that thepositive fractional 2D systems are practically unstable (1) if acorresponding positive 2D system is asymptotically unstableand (2) if some matrices of the 2D system are nonnegative

Simple necessary and sufficient conditions for practicalstability independent of the length of practical implementa-tion are established in [78] It is shown that practical stabilityof the system is equivalent to asymptotic stability of thecorresponding standard positive discrete-time systems of thesame order

45 Fractional Order Systems with Delay Fractional ordersystems with delay meet a number of important applications(see eg [31 49]) There are several important works aboutstability of closed-loop fractional order systemscontrollerswith time delays Some relevant examples can be found in[79ndash81]

To describe simplest fractional order systems with delaylet us introduce some notations (see [82])

Let C([119886 119887]R119899

) be the set of continuous functionsmapping the interval [119886 119887] to R119899

) One may wish to identifya maximum time delay 119903 of a system In this case weare interested in the set of continuous function mapping[minus119903 0] to R119899

) for which we simplify the notation to C =

C([minus119903 0]R119899

) For any119860 gt 0 and any continuous function oftime x isin C([119905

segment of function defined as x119905(120579) = x(119905 + 120579) minus119903 le 120579 le 0

Let the fractional nonlinear time-delay system be thesystem of the following type

119862

119863q119905x (119905) = f (119905 x

where x isin C([1199050

(119902 119902) 0 lt 119902 lt 1 and 119891 R times C rarr R119899 To determinethe future evolution of the state it is necessary to specify theinitial state variables x(119905) in a time interval of length 119903 sayfrom 119905

0minus 119903 to 119905

0 that is

x (1199050) = 120593 (55)

where 120593 isin C is given In other words x(1199050)(120579) = 120593(120579) minus119903 le

It has been mentioned in [39] that exponential stabilitycannot be used to characterize the asymptotic stability offractional order systems A new definition of power lawstability was introduced [93]

Among the many methods that have been proposed forthe study of ldquodifferent kinds of stability definitionsrdquo of non-linear fractional order systems (66) wemention perturbationanalysis

Thus in [95] it is investigates the qualitative behaviourof a perturbed fractional order differential equations withCaputo derivatives that differs in initial position and initialtime with respect to the unperturbed fractional order dif-ferential equation with Caputo derivatives In [96] the sta-bility of 119899-dimensional linear fractional differential systemswith commensurate order and the corresponding perturbedsystems is investigated By using the Laplace transformthe asymptotic expansion of the Mittag-Leffler functionand the Gronwallrsquos inequality some conditions on stabilityand asymptotic stability are given In [97] the stabilityof nonlinear fractional differential systems with Caputoderivatives by utilizing a Lyapunov-type function is studiedTaking into account the relation between asymptotic stabilityand generalized Mittag-Leffler stability the condition onLyapunov-type function is weakened

42 Fractional Order Linear Time-Invariant Systems Besidesthe conception of stability for fractional order linear time-invariant systems

y (119905) = Cx (119905)

(47)

the conceptions of controllability and observability (knownas linear and nonlinear differential systems [42 43]) areintroduced too

In (47) x isin R119899 is an unknown state vector and u isin

R119903 y isin R119901 are the control vector and output vector res-pectively Given (constant) matrices A B and C are of thefollowing size A isin R119899times119899

B isin R119899times119903

and C isin R119901times119899 Positivevector q = [119902

1 119902

119899]119879 denotes the (fractional) order of

system (47) If 1199021

= sdot sdot sdot = 119902119899

= 119902 then system (47) is called acommensurate order system

As in case of ordinary linear differential time-invari-ant systems controllability and observability conditions [44]are represented in terms of controllability 119862

] matrices respectivelyWe have to mention also the stability criterion for the

system (47) (see [40 45ndash48])

Theorem 4 Commensurate system (47) is stable if the follow-ing conditions are satisfied

1003816100381610038161003816arg (eig (A))1003816100381610038161003816 gt 119902

for all eigenvalues eig(A) of the matrix A

Several new results on stability controllability andobservability of system (47) are presented in the recentmonograph [49] (see also [37 50ndash52]) is proposed We cansay that control theory for fractional order systems becomes aspecial branch of fractional order systems andmention in thisconnection several important papers developing this theory[53ndash67] A number of applications of the fractional ordersystems are presented in [30 31 68]

43 Fractional Order Controllers The fractional-order con-troller (FOC) PI120582D120575 (also known as PI120582D120583 controller) wasproposed in [33] as a generalization of the PID controller withintegrator of real order120582 anddifferentiator of real order120575Thetransfer function of such controller in the Laplace domain hasthis form

119862 (119904) =119880 (119904)

119864 (119904)= 119870

+ 119879119889119904120575

(120582 120575 gt 0) (49)

where 119870119901is the proportional constant 119879

119894is the integration

constant and 119879119889is the differentiation constant

In [69] a classification of different modifications of thefractional PI120582D120575 controllers (see also [49 70ndash72])

(i) CRONE controller (1st generation) characterized bythe bandlimited lead effect

119862 (119904) = 1198620

(1 + 119904120596119887)119903

(1 + 119904120596ℎ)119903minus1

(50)

There are a number of real-life applications of threegenerations of the CRONE controller [73]

(ii) Fractional lead-lag compensator [49] which is givenby

119862 (119904) = 119896119888(

119904 + 1120582

119904 + 1120582)

119903

(51)

where 0 lt 119904 lt 1 120582 isin R and 119903 isin R(iii) Noninteger integral and its application to control as a

reference function [74 75] Bode suggested an idealshape of the loop transfer function in his work ondesign of feedback amplifiers in 1945 Ideal looptransfer function has the form

119871 (119904) = (119904

120596119892119888

)

120572

(120572 lt 0) (52)

where 120596119892119888is desired crossover frequency and 120572 is the

slope of the ideal cut-off characteristic The Nyquistcurve for ideal Bode transfer function is simply astraight line through the origin with arg(119871(119895120596)) =

1205721205872(iv) TID compensator [76] which has structure similar to

a PID controller but the proportional component isreplaced with a tilted component having a transferfunction 119904 to the power of (minus1119899) The resultingtransfer function of the TID controller has the form

119862 (119904) =119879

1199041119899+

119868

119904+ 119863119904 (53)

where 119879 119868 and 119863 are the controller constants and 119899

is a non-zero real number preferably between 2 and3 The transfer function of TID compensator moreclosely approximates an optimal transfer functionand an overall response is achieved which is closer tothe theoretical optimal response determined by Bode[74]

Different methods for determination of PI120582D120575 controllerparameters satisfying the given requirements are proposed(see eg [69] and references therein)

44 Positive Fractional Order Systems A new concept(notion) of the practical stability of the positive fractional2D linear systems is proposed in [77] Necessary and suf-ficient conditions for the practical stability of the positivefractional 2D systems are established It is shown that thepositive fractional 2D systems are practically unstable (1) if acorresponding positive 2D system is asymptotically unstableand (2) if some matrices of the 2D system are nonnegative

Simple necessary and sufficient conditions for practicalstability independent of the length of practical implementa-tion are established in [78] It is shown that practical stabilityof the system is equivalent to asymptotic stability of thecorresponding standard positive discrete-time systems of thesame order

45 Fractional Order Systems with Delay Fractional ordersystems with delay meet a number of important applications(see eg [31 49]) There are several important works aboutstability of closed-loop fractional order systemscontrollerswith time delays Some relevant examples can be found in[79ndash81]

To describe simplest fractional order systems with delaylet us introduce some notations (see [82])

Let C([119886 119887]R119899

) be the set of continuous functionsmapping the interval [119886 119887] to R119899

) One may wish to identifya maximum time delay 119903 of a system In this case weare interested in the set of continuous function mapping[minus119903 0] to R119899

) for which we simplify the notation to C =

C([minus119903 0]R119899

) For any119860 gt 0 and any continuous function oftime x isin C([119905

0minus 119903 119905

0+119860]R119899

) 1199050le 119905

0+119860 let x

119905(120579) isin C be a

segment of function defined as x119905(120579) = x(119905 + 120579) minus119903 le 120579 le 0

Let the fractional nonlinear time-delay system be thesystem of the following type

119862

1199050

119863q119905x (119905) = f (119905 x

119905(119905)) (54)

where x isin C([1199050

Thus in [95] it is investigates the qualitative behaviourof a perturbed fractional order differential equations withCaputo derivatives that differs in initial position and initialtime with respect to the unperturbed fractional order dif-ferential equation with Caputo derivatives In [96] the sta-bility of 119899-dimensional linear fractional differential systemswith commensurate order and the corresponding perturbedsystems is investigated By using the Laplace transformthe asymptotic expansion of the Mittag-Leffler functionand the Gronwallrsquos inequality some conditions on stabilityand asymptotic stability are given In [97] the stabilityof nonlinear fractional differential systems with Caputoderivatives by utilizing a Lyapunov-type function is studiedTaking into account the relation between asymptotic stabilityand generalized Mittag-Leffler stability the condition onLyapunov-type function is weakened

45 Fractional Order Systems with Delay Fractional ordersystems with delay meet a number of important applications(see eg [31 49]) There are several important works aboutstability of closed-loop fractional order systemscontrollerswith time delays Some relevant examples can be found in[79ndash81]

To describe simplest fractional order systems with delaylet us introduce some notations (see [82])

Let C([119886 119887]R119899

) be the set of continuous functionsmapping the interval [119886 119887] to R119899

) One may wish to identifya maximum time delay 119903 of a system In this case weare interested in the set of continuous function mapping[minus119903 0] to R119899

) for which we simplify the notation to C =

C([minus119903 0]R119899

) For any119860 gt 0 and any continuous function oftime x isin C([119905

0minus 119903 119905

) 1199050le 119905

0+119860 let x

119905(120579) isin C be a

segment of function defined as x119905(120579) = x(119905 + 120579) minus119903 le 120579 le 0

Let the fractional nonlinear time-delay system be thesystem of the following type

119862

1199050

119863q119905x (119905) = f (119905 x

119905(119905)) (54)

where x isin C([1199050

+ 119860]R119899

) for any 119860 gt 0 q =

(119902 119902) 0 lt 119902 lt 1 and 119891 R times C rarr R119899 To determinethe future evolution of the state it is necessary to specify theinitial state variables x(119905) in a time interval of length 119903 sayfrom 119905

0minus 119903 to 119905

0 that is

x (1199050) = 120593 (55)

where 120593 isin C is given In other words x(1199050)(120579) = 120593(120579) minus119903 le

120579 le 0Several stability results for fractional order systems with

delay were obtained in [82ndash84] In particular in [84] thelinear and time-invariant differential-functional Caputo frac-tional differential systems of order 120572 are considered

Stability analysis of such system is performed for example[89] (see also [90 91])

The paper [92] is devoted to controllability analysis ofdiscrete-time fractional systems

x (0) = c(66)

It has been mentioned in [39] that exponential stabilitycannot be used to characterize the asymptotic stability offractional order systems A new definition of power lawstability was introduced [93]

Definition 5 Trajectory x(119905) = 0 of the system (66) is powerlaw 119905

Power law 119905minus119902 asymptotic stability is a special case of the

Mittag-Leffler stability [94] which has the following form

Among the many methods that have been proposed forthe study of ldquodifferent kinds of stability definitionsrdquo of non-linear fractional order systems (66) wemention perturbationanalysis

Thus in [95] it is investigates the qualitative behaviourof a perturbed fractional order differential equations withCaputo derivatives that differs in initial position and initialtime with respect to the unperturbed fractional order dif-ferential equation with Caputo derivatives In [96] the sta-bility of 119899-dimensional linear fractional differential systemswith commensurate order and the corresponding perturbedsystems is investigated By using the Laplace transformthe asymptotic expansion of the Mittag-Leffler functionand the Gronwallrsquos inequality some conditions on stabilityand asymptotic stability are given In [97] the stabilityof nonlinear fractional differential systems with Caputoderivatives by utilizing a Lyapunov-type function is studiedTaking into account the relation between asymptotic stabilityand generalized Mittag-Leffler stability the condition onLyapunov-type function is weakened

Stability analysis of such system is performed for example[89] (see also [90 91])

The paper [92] is devoted to controllability analysis ofdiscrete-time fractional systems

48 Fractional Nonlinear Systems The simplest fractionalnonlinear system in the incommensurate case is the systemof the type

q119905x (119905) = f (x (119905) 119905)

x (0) = c(66)

It has been mentioned in [39] that exponential stabilitycannot be used to characterize the asymptotic stability offractional order systems A new definition of power lawstability was introduced [93]

Definition 5 Trajectory x(119905) = 0 of the system (66) is powerlaw 119905

minus119902 asymptotically stable if there exists a positive 119902 gt 0

such that

Power law 119905minus119902 asymptotic stability is a special case of the

Mittag-Leffler stability [94] which has the following form

Definition 6 (definition of the Mittag-Leffler stability) Thesolution of the nonlinear problem

is said to be Mittag-Leffler stable if

Among the many methods that have been proposed forthe study of ldquodifferent kinds of stability definitionsrdquo of non-linear fractional order systems (66) wemention perturbationanalysis

Thus in [95] it is investigates the qualitative behaviourof a perturbed fractional order differential equations withCaputo derivatives that differs in initial position and initialtime with respect to the unperturbed fractional order dif-ferential equation with Caputo derivatives In [96] the sta-bility of 119899-dimensional linear fractional differential systemswith commensurate order and the corresponding perturbedsystems is investigated By using the Laplace transformthe asymptotic expansion of the Mittag-Leffler functionand the Gronwallrsquos inequality some conditions on stabilityand asymptotic stability are given In [97] the stabilityof nonlinear fractional differential systems with Caputoderivatives by utilizing a Lyapunov-type function is studiedTaking into account the relation between asymptotic stabilityand generalized Mittag-Leffler stability the condition onLyapunov-type function is weakened

5 Some Examples

We can also mention the possibility to apply the study offractional order stability methods of Pade (or Hermite-Pade)approximation (see eg [100ndash102])

In conclusion this paper reviewed themain contributionsthat were proposed during the last years for analysing thestability of fractional order systems Different problems were

addressed such as control systems including a delay or witha distributed nature as well as discrete-time and nonlinearsystemsThe paper presented in a comprehensive and conciseway many details that are scattered in the literature andprovide researchers a reference text for work in this area

We can also mention the possibility to apply the study offractional order stability methods of Pade (or Hermite-Pade)approximation (see eg [100ndash102])

In conclusion this paper reviewed themain contributionsthat were proposed during the last years for analysing thestability of fractional order systems Different problems were

addressed such as control systems including a delay or witha distributed nature as well as discrete-time and nonlinearsystemsThe paper presented in a comprehensive and conciseway many details that are scattered in the literature andprovide researchers a reference text for work in this area

We can also mention the possibility to apply the study offractional order stability methods of Pade (or Hermite-Pade)approximation (see eg [100ndash102])

In conclusion this paper reviewed themain contributionsthat were proposed during the last years for analysing thestability of fractional order systems Different problems were

addressed such as control systems including a delay or witha distributed nature as well as discrete-time and nonlinearsystemsThe paper presented in a comprehensive and conciseway many details that are scattered in the literature andprovide researchers a reference text for work in this area
