The modulating functions method has been used for the identification of linear and nonlinear systems. In this paper, we generalize this method to the on-line identification of fractional order systems based on the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives. First, a new fractional integration by parts formula involving the fractional derivative of a modulating function is given. Then, we apply this formula to a fractional order system, for which the fractional derivatives of the input and the output can be transferred into the ones of the modulating functions. By choosing a set of modulating functions, a linear system of algebraic equations is obtained. Hence, the unknown parameters of a fractional order system can be estimated by solving a linear system. Using this method, we do not need any initial values which are usually unknown and not equal to zero. Also we do not need to estimate the fractional derivatives of noisy output. Moreover, it is shown that the proposed estimators are robust against high frequency sinusoidal noises and the ones due to a class of stochastic processes. Finally, the efficiency and the stability of the proposed method is confirmed by some numerical simulations.

We propose a novel method to compute a finite difference stencil for Riesz derivative for artibitrary speed of convergence. This method is based on applying a pre-filter to the Grunwald-Letnikov type central difference stencil. The filter is obtained by solving for the inverse of a symmetric Vandemonde matrix and exploiting the relationship between the Taylors series coefficients and fast Fourier transform. The filter costs Oleft(N^{2}right) operations to evaluate for Oleft(h^{N}right) of convergence, where h is the sampling distance. The higher convergence speed should more than offset the overhead with the requirement of the number of nodal points for a desired error tolerance significantly reduced. The benefit of progressive generation of the stencil coefficients for adaptive grid size for dynamic problems with the Grunwald-Letnikov type difference scheme is also kept because of the application of filtering. The higher convergence rate is verified through numerical experiments.
This contribution deals with identification of fractional-order dynamical systems. System identification, which refers to estimation of process parameters, is a necessity in control theory. Real processes are usually of fractional order as opposed to the ideal integral order models. A simple and elegant scheme of estimating the parameters for such a fractional order process is proposed. This method employs fractional calculus theory to find equations relating the parameters that are to be estimated, and then estimates the process parameters after solving the simultaneous equations. The said simultaneous equations are generated and updated using particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique, the fitness function being the sum of squared deviations from the actual set of observations. The data used for the calculations are intentionally corrupted to simulate real-life conditions. Results show that the proposed scheme offers a very high degree of accuracy even for erroneous data.
In this paper, we develop a robust fast method for mobile-immobile variable-order (VO) time-fractional diffusion equations (tFDEs), superiorly handling the cases of small or vanishing lower bound of the VO function. The valid fast approximation of the VO Caputo fractional derivative is obtained using integration by parts and the exponential-sum-approximation method. Compared with the general direct method, the proposed algorithm ($RF$-$L1$ formula) reduces the acting memory from $mathcal{O}(n)$ to $mathcal{O}(log^2 n)$ and computational cost from $mathcal{O}(n^2)$ to $mathcal{O}(n log^2 n)$, respectively, where $n$ is the number of time levels. Then $RF$-$L1$ formula is applied to construct the fast finite difference scheme for the VO tFDEs, which sharp decreases the memory requirement and computational complexity. The error estimate for the proposed scheme is studied only under some assumptions of the VO function, coefficients, and the source term, but without any regularity assumption of the true solutions. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Fractional order controllers become increasingly popular due to their versatility and superiority in various performance. However, the bottleneck in deploying these tools in practice is related to their analog or numerical implementation. Numerical approximations are usually employed in which the approximation of fractional differintegrator is the foundation. Generally, the following three identical equations always hold, i.e., $frac{1}{s^alpha}frac{1}{s^{1-alpha}} = frac{1}{s}$, $s^alpha frac{1}{s^alpha} = 1$ and $s^alpha s^{1-alpha} = s$. However, for the approximate models of fractional differintegrator $s^alpha$, $alphain(-1,0)cup(0,1)$, there usually exist some conflicts on the mentioned equations, which might enlarge the approximation error or even cause fallacies in multiple orders occasion. To overcome the conflicts, this brief develops a piecewise approximate model and provides two procedures for designing the model parameters. The comparison with several existing methods shows that the proposed methods do not only satisfy the equalities but also achieve high approximation accuracy. From this, it is believed that this work can serve for simulation and realization of fractional order controllers more friendly.
We consider the unified transform method, also known as the Fokas method, for solving partial differential equations. We adapt and modify the methodology, incorporating new ideas where necessary, in order to apply it to solve a large class of partial differential equations of fractional order. We demonstrate the applicability of the method by implementing it to solve a model fractional problem.
