Robust stability and stabilization of fractional order interval systems with coupling relationships: The 0<α<1 case

In this paper we consider a class of fractional order linear time invariant (FO-LTI) interval systems with linear coupling relationships among the fractional order, the system matrix and the input matrix. We present the sufficient conditions for the robust stability and stabilization of such coupling FO-LTI interval systems with the fractional order α satisfying 0<α<1. All the results are proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Two numerical examples show that our results are effective for checking the robust asymptotical stability and designing the stabilizing controller for FO-LTI interval systems.
