Abstract

This study examines the stabilization control problem for Fractional-order nonlinear systems (FONS). Based on the frequency distribution model of the fraction-order integrator, a sufficient stability condition is presented for the Riemann-Liouville FONS. The stability of the FONS is proven using Lyapunov stability theory. An improved sufficient stability condition is also proposed with Linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) techniques. A novel control law to stabilize the FONS is put forward. Numerical simulation examples are provided to verify the proposed approaches.
