Abstract
This paper addresses the solvability and controllability of fractional delay differential Sylvester matrix equations with non-permutable coefficient matrices. By applying a vectorization approach and Kronecker product algebra, we transform the matrix-valued problem into an equivalent vector system, enabling the derivation of explicit solution representations using a delayed perturbation of two-parameter Mittag-Leffler-type matrix functions. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for controllability via a fractional delay Gramian matrix, providing a computationally verifiable criterion that requires no commutativity assumptions. The theoretical results are validated through numerical examples, demonstrating effectiveness in noncommutative scenarios where classical methods fail.
