Robust Control for Variable-Order Fractional Interval Systems Subject to Actuator Saturation

Abstract

In this paper, a class of variable-order fractional interval systems (VO-FIS) in which the system matrices are affected by the fractional order is investigated. Firstly, the sufficient conditions for robust stability of a VO-FIS with a unified order range of ν(σ)∈(0,2) are proposed. Secondly, the stabilization conditions of a VO-FIS subject to actuator saturation are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Then, by using the proposed algorithm through an optimization problem, the stability region is estimated. To summarize, the paper gives a stabilization criterion for VO-FIS subject to actuator saturation. Finally, three numerical examples are proposed to verify the effectiveness of our results.
