The practical stability of a nonlinear nonautonomous Caputo fractional differential equation is studied using Lyapunov like functions. The novelty of this paper is based on the new definition of the derivative of a Lyapunov like function along the given fractional differential equation. Comparison results using this definition for scalar fractional differential equations are presented. Several ...

We provide the main features of Lyapunov theory when it is formulated for fractional order systems. We give consistent extensions of Lyapunov, LaSalle and Chetaev classical theorems to the case of fractional order systems. We give examples to illustrate the applications of the concepts and propositions introduced. © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

In this study, we propose a secure communication scheme based on the synchronization of two identical fractional-order chaotic systems. The fractional-order derivative is in Caputo sense, and for synchronization, we use a robust sliding-mode control scheme. The designed sliding surface is taken simply due to using special technic for fractional-order systems. Also, unlike most manuscripts, the ...

In this paper, synchronization for a class of uncertain fractional-order neural networks subject to external disturbances and disturbed system parameters is studied. Based on the fractional-order extension of the Lyapunov stability criterion, an adaptive synchronization controller is designed, and fractional-order adaptation law is proposed to update the controller parameter online. The propose...

  This paper concerns the problem of robust stabilization of uncertain fractional-order non-autonomous systems. In this regard, a single input active control approach is proposed for control and stabilization of three-dimensional uncertain fractional-order systems. The robust controller is designed on the basis of fractional Lyapunov stability theory. Furthermore, the effects of model uncertai...

Abstract. A new class of fractional 2D Lyapunov systems described by the Roesser models is introduced. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity and asymptotic stability of the new class of systems are established. It is shown that the checking of the asymptotic stability of positive 2D fractional Lyapunov systems can be reduced to testing the asymptotic stability of corresponding ...

This paper addresses a necessary and sufficient robust stability condition of fractional-order interval linear time invariant systems. The state matrix A is considered as a parametric interval uncertain matrix and fractional commensurate order is considered belonging to 1 ≤ α < 2. Using the existence condition of Hermitian matrix P = P ∗ for a complex Lyapunov inequality, we show that a fractio...
