D-Stability Based LMI Criteria of Stability and Stabilization for Fractional Order Systems

Abstract

This paper considers the stability and stabilization of fractional order systems (FOS) with the fractional order α: 0 < α < 1 case. The equivalence between stability of fractional order systems and D–stability of a matrix A in specific region is proven. The criteria of stability and stabilization of fractional order system are presented. The conditions are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which can be easily calculated with standard feasible solution problem in MATLAB LMI toolbox. When α = 1, the results reduce to the conditions of stability and stabilization of integer order systems. Numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the criteria. With the approach proposed in this paper, we can analyze and design fractional order systems in the same way as what we do to the integer order system state-space models.
