Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since 1695, fractional calculus has been used extensively in fundamental and applied research. The primary goal of this Special Issue is to provide readers with state-of-the-art research publications that will not only serve as an updated literature review and knowledge update, but also as a means of providing ideas and challenges for future research, and perhaps a platform for different research groups around the world to collaborate in the future. Therefore, manuscripts with fundamental research involving mathematical methods, novel derivative definitions, and numerical methods for faster solutions, among others, are very welcome. Furthermore, applied research studies will definitely aid in the development of an insightful Special Issue by examining fractional calculus applications to different research fields. These fields include process system engineering, transport phenomena, biological systems, electrical circuits, and materials science. By taking these two branches, fundamental and applied research, into account, this Special Issue acts as a valuable reference for both beginners and senior researchers. It is relevant to see how far we can push knowledge and scientific boundaries by employing fractional calculus, and you are invited to contribute to this journey!

In the present manuscript, we design a fractional multi-order high-gain observer to estimate temperature in a double pipe heat exchange process. For comparison purposes and since we want to prove that when using our novel technique, the estimation is more robust than the classical approach, we design a non-fractional high-gain observer, and then we compare the performance of both observers. We consider three scenarios: The first one considers the estimation of the system states by measuring only one output with no noise added on it and under ideal conditions. Second, we add noise to the measured output and then reconstruct the system states, and, third, in addition to the noise, we increase the gain parameter in both observers (non-fractional and fractional) due to the fact that we want to prove that the robustness changes in this parameter. The results showed that, using our approach, the estimated states can be recovered under noise circumstances in the measured output and under parameter change in the observer, contrary to using classical (non-fractional) observers where the states cannot be recovered. In all our tests, we used the normalized root-mean-square, integral square error, and integral absolute error indices, resulting in a better performance for our approach than that obtained using the classical approach. We concluded that our fractional multi-order high-gain observer is more robust to input noise than the classical high-gain observer. Full article
