Hybrid Systems and Control With Fractional Dynamics (II): Control

S. Hassan HosseinNia, Ines Tejado, Blas M. Vinagre

No mixed research of hybrid and fractional-order systems into a cohesive and multifaceted whole can be found in the literature. This paper focuses on such a synergistic approach of the theories of both branches, which is believed to give additional flexibility and help the system designer. It is part II of two companion papers and focuses on fractional-order hybrid control. Specifically, two types of such techniques are reviewed, including robust control of switching systems and different strategies of reset control. Simulations and experimental results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed strategies. Part I will introduce the fundamentals of fractional-order hybrid systems, in particular, modelling and stability of two kinds of such systems, i.e., fractional-order switching and reset control systems.

Hybrid Systems and Control With Fractional Dynamics (I): Modeling and Analysis

No mixed research of hybrid and fractional-order systems into a cohesive and multifaceted whole can be found in the literature. This paper focuses on such a synergistic approach of the theories of both branches, which is believed to give additional flexibility and help to the system designer. It is part I of two companion papers and introduces the fundamentals of fractional-order hybrid systems, in particular, modeling and stability analysis of two kinds of such systems, i.e., fractional-order switching and reset control systems. Some examples are given to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the developed theory. Part II will focus on fractional-order hybrid control.

Fractional Order Hybrid Systems and Their Stability

S. Hassan HosseinNia, Inés Tejado, Blas M. Vinagre

This paper deals with hybrid systems (HS) with fractional order dynamics and their stability. The stability of two particular types of fractional order hybrid systems (FOHS), i.e., switching and reset control systems, is studied. Common Lyapunov method, as well as its frequency domain equivalence, are generalized for the former systems and, for the latter, H$_β$-condition is used --frequency domain equivalence of Lyapunov-like method for reset control systems. The applicability and efficiency of the proposed methods are shown by some illustrative examples.
