The series "Studies in Systems, Decision and Control" (SSDC) covers both new developments and advances, as well as the state of the art, in the various areas of broadly perceived systems, decision making and control-quickly, up to date and with a high quality. The intent is to cover the theory, applications, and perspectives on the state of the art and future developments relevant to systems, decision making, control, complex processes and related areas, as embedded in the fields of engineering, computer science, physics, economics, social and life sciences, as well as the paradigms and methodologies behind them. The series contains monographs, textbooks, lecture notes and edited volumes in systems, decision making and control spanning the areas of Cyber-

A new class of fractional 2D linear discrete-time systems is introduced. The fractional difference definition is applied to each dimension of a 2D Roesser model. Solutions of these systems are derived using a 2D Z-transform. The classical Cayley-Hamilton theorem is extended to 2D fractional systems described by the Roesser model. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity and stabilization by the state-feedback of fractional 2D linear systems are established. A procedure for the computation of a gain matrix is proposed and illustrated by a numerical example.

In many engineering problems associated with various physical phenomena, there occurs a necessity of analysis of signals that are described by multidimensional functions of more than one variable such as time t or space coordinates x, y, z. Therefore, in such cases, we should consider dynamical models of two or more dimensions. In this paper, a new two-dimensional (2D) model described by the Roesser type of state-space equations will be considered. In the introduced model, partial differential operators described by the Conformable Fractional Derivative (CFD) definition with respect to the first (horizontal) and second (vertical) variables will be applied. For the model under consideration, the general response formula is derived using the inverse fractional Laplace method. Next, the properties of the solution will be considered. Usefulness of the general response formula will be discussed and illustrated by a numerical example.
