Numerical issues and MATLAB implementations for fractional-order control systems

Abstract

There are several relevant MATLAB toolboxes which can be used to handle fractional-order systems. The N-integer toolbox [162] is the one used widely by the researchers. We also developed useful MATLAB code and an object-oriented toolbox in [181–183] which solves similar problems. This chapter is designed to be self-contained and is presented in the sequence of modeling, analysis, and design of fractional-order systems. Readers can run the examples on their own computer and obtain the same results. Many illustrative examples are given in the chapter to demonstrate the modeling, analysis, and design problems in fractional-order systems. Also the code can easily be applied to tackle other problems in the other chapters.
