Abstract
Multi-term fractional differential equations have been used to simulate fractional-order control system. It has been demonstrated the necessity of the such controllers for the more efficient control of fractionalorder dynamical system. In this paper, the multi-term fractional ordinary differential equations are transferred into equivalent a system of equations. The existence and uniqueness of the new system are proved. A fractional order difference approximation is constructed by a decoupled technique and fractional-order numerical techniques. The consistence, convergence and stability of the numerical approximation are proved. Finally, some numerical results are presented to demonstrate that the numerical approximation is a computationally efficient method. The new method can be applied to solve the fractional-order control system.
