LMI-based sufficient conditions for robust stability and stabilization of LTI-fractional-order systems subjected to interval and polytopic uncertainties

Abstract

In this paper, by introducing a new general state-space form for uncertain linear time-invariant fractional-order systems subjected to interval and polytopic uncertainties, two problems including robust stability analysis and robust stabilization of the presented systems are investigated. Subsequently, two sufficient conditions in terms of several linear matrix inequalities for the problems mentioned are concluded as two separate theorems. It is assumed that the fractional order [Formula: see text] is a known constant belonging to [Formula: see text]. Simulation results of two different numerical examples demonstrate that the provided sufficient conditions are applicable and effective for tackling robust stability and stabilization problems.
