Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

One of the advantages of fractional-order calculus is that it permits more accurate mathematical modelling than its integer-order counterpart, especially in real-life application. This is due to the extra degrees of freedom attained by introducing fractional orders as new parameters.

The rapid growth of fractional calculus applications in science and engineering has also motivated new formulations and mathematical definitions, especially in the circuits and systems, such as filters, encryption, bio-engineering, control systems, robotics, chaotic systems, oscillators, wireless power transmission, and super-capacitor modeling.

The focus of this Special Issue is on the recent advances of these applications. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Analog and digital realization of fractional-order operators
  • Approximations of the fractional-order derivatives and their applications in circuit design
  • Circuit implementation, analysis, and fabrication of fractional-order components
  • Fractional calculus models in physics, electrochemistry, and fluid mechanics
  • Fractional-order control and its applications
  • Fractional-order chaotic systems and their implementation
  • Fractional-order bioimpedance models and biomedical circuits
  • Fractional-order mem-elements, modeling and applications
  • Fractional-order models for energy storage devices and systems
  • Fractional-order circuits for machine learning
  • Fractional-order nonlinear circuits and systems

This Special Issue is in cooperation with the NILES Conference 2021 (https://www.nilesconf.org) and welcomes submissions from participants of the conference.

This paper deals with the new oscillator structures that contain new elements, so-called memory elements, known as memristor, meminductor, and memcapacitor. Such circuits can exhibit oscillations as well as chaotic behavior. New mathematical models of fractional-order elements and whole oscillator circuits are proposed as well. An illustrative example to demonstrate the oscillations and the chaotic behavior through the numerical solution of the fractional-order circuit model is provided. Full article

This paper deals with the study and analysis of several rational approximations to approach the behavior of arbitrary-order differentiators and integrators in the frequency domain. From the Riemann–Liouville, Grünwald–Letnikov and Caputo basic definitions of arbitrary-order calculus until the reviewed approximation methods, each of them is coded in a Maple 18 environment and their behaviors are compared. For each approximation method, an application example is explained in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of each approximation method are discussed. Afterwards, two model order reduction methods are applied to each rational approximation and assist a posteriori during the synthesis process using analog electronic design or reconfigurable hardware. Examples for each reduction method are discussed, showing the drawbacks and benefits. To wrap up, this survey is very useful for beginners to get started quickly and learn arbitrary-order calculus and then to select and tune the best approximation method for a specific application in the frequency domain. Once the approximation method is selected and the rational transfer function is generated, the order can be reduced by applying a model order reduction method, with the target of facilitating the electronic synthesis.

Abstract
A simple and direct procedure for implementing fractional-order filters with transfer functions that contain Laplace operators of different fractional orders is presented in this work.

A simple and direct procedure for implementing fractional-order filters with transfer functions that contain Laplace operators of different fractional orders is presented in this work. Based on a general fractional-order transfer function that describes fractional-order low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-stop and all-pass filters, the introduced concept deals with the consideration of this function as a whole, with its approximation being performed using a curve-fitting-based technique. Compared to the conventional procedure, where each fractional-order Laplace operator of the transfer function is individually approximated, the main offered benefit is the significant reduction in the order of the resulting rational function. Experimental results, obtained using a field-programmable analog array device, verify the validity of this concept. Full article

Fractional-order chaotic oscillators (FOCOs) have shown more complexity than integer-order chaotic ones. However, the majority of electronic implementations were performed using embedded systems; compared to analog implementations, they require huge hardware resources to approximate the solution of the fractional-order derivatives. In this manner, we propose the design of FOCOs using fractional-order integrators based on operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs). The case study shows the implementation of FOCOs by cascading first-order OTA-based filters designed with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The OTAs have programmable transconductance, and the robustness of the fractional-order integrator is verified by performing process, voltage and temperature variations as well as Monte Carlo analyses for a CMOS technology of 180 nm from the United Microelectronics Corporation. Finally, it is highlighted that post-layout simulations are in good agreement with the simulations of the mathematical model of the FOCO. Full article
