FOR MY THESIS: Fractional derivatives: Definitions: -Riemann-Liouville integral operator. -Caputo integral operator. -Weyl operator. -Gruntwald-Letnikov operator.

I have two choices: Either work with applications to electromagnetic theory (purely theoretical), or applications on control theory (May have a practical component).

University of Pennsylvania. Conclusions: -Fractional operators are LINEAR. Thus, they follow the rules of addition, homogeneity and scaling. -Fractional operators are non local and they have memory, because they are defined by a definite integral. -The properties of fractional operators can be thought of as a mixture of integer order integral and differentiation properties. Hence the memory property and the nonlocality property. Applications to fractional order monopoles, method of images.

Application on CONTROL THEORY. 1st Derivation of a mathematical model for a fractional-order system. ???? 2nd Definition of a fractional order control system using lead lag controllers, PID controllers, and CRONE controllers.

3rd Comparisons between the fractional order model/controller, and the integer order model/controller. -Fractional order control system. http://www.wseas.us/e-library/conferences/2011/Lanzarote/ACMOS/ACMOS-61.pdf FRACTIONAL ORDER CALCULUS IN CONTROL THEORY. The abridged version of the application of fractional order calculus on control theory, stability criteria, and types of fractional order controllers, such as PI(lambda)D(mu), fractional lead and lag controllers, and a robust controller known as CRONE (COMMANDE ROBUSTE DORDRE NO ENTIER) which has much more applications than the first two. Also, theres a CRONE Matlab toolbox. I need to find: -Papers and MATLAB documentation about CRONE. -Papers about fractional lead lag controllers. -Papers about PI(lambda)D(mu) controllers.
