“…Fractional calculus provides a powerful mathematical tool for the description of physical systems in many fields, such as, among others, physics, engineering and bioengineering , mechanical systems , stochastic systems , mobile sensor , and control systems . Finding analytical and numerical solutions for fractional differential equations has been considered as a strong topic of study; these methods include the Legendre spectral tau method , the waveform relaxation method , the collocation method , the explicit iterations method and others . An interesting active research area of fractional calculus is that of fractional optimal control (FOC), in which the dynamical system as well as cost function involve not only integer order derivatives but also fractional order derivatives or integrals .…”
