Admissibility and robust stabilization of continuous linear singular fractional order systems with the fractional order α: The 0 < α < 1 case

This paper presents three different necessary and sufficient conditions for the admissibility and robust stabilization of singular fractional order systems (FOS) with the fractional order alpha: 0 < alpha < 1 case. Two results are obtained in terms of strict linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) without equality constraint. The system uncertainties considered are norm bounded instead of interval uncertainties. The equivalence between quadratic admissibility and general quadric stability for FOS are derived. A condition is not only strict LMI condition without quality constraint but also avoid a singularity trouble caused by the superfluous solved variable. When alpha = 1 and E = 1, the three results reduce to the conditions of stability and robust stabilization of normal integer order systems. Numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the criteria. With the approaches proposed in this technical note, we can analyze and design singular fractional order systems with similar way to the normal integer order systems. 2017 ISA.
