Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fractional calculus is the extension and generalization of integer calculus; additionally, compared with integer calculus, fractional calculus has superiority as it is able to more accurately describe models, can more easily improve control performance, and has more freedom in designing controllers. At present, with the rapid development of engineering technology, practical electrical and electronic systems are becoming more and more complex, to the point where most of them should be described by using fractional calculus; thus, the requirements for control performance are also increasing. Meanwhile, a fractional-order controller can guarantee the stable operation of a complex practical electrical and electronic system due to its outstanding advantages. Therefore, the construct of the fractional-order model and the design of the fractional-order controller has become a current hot topic. However, fractional-order electrical and electronic systems have complex dynamical properties; among them, bifurcation, chaos, and fractals are typical nonlinear phenomena and will have an important effect on the system performance. Thus, it is necessary to reveal the underlying mechanism of the occurrence of these typical nonlinear phenomena and design a controller to make these typical nonlinear phenomena disappear.
This Special Issue aims to focus on:
- Bifurcation, chaos, and fractals in fractional-order electrical and electronic systems and their control;
- Continuous/discrete modeling and stability analysis of fractional-order electrical and electronic systems;
- Multi-timescale and entropy analysis of fractional-order electrical and electronic systems;
- Optimization of the control accuracy for fractional-order electrical and electronic systems;
- Improvements and applications of fractional calculus in electrical and electronic systems.
