“…The generalisation of the classical, most commonly used PID controller is due to Podlubny, who introduced the socalled FO PI λ D μ controllers (Podlubny, 1999). Since then, many researchers have focused on the design problem of FO controllers, especially to enhance the robustness and performance of the control systems (Cao & Cao, 2006;Caponetto, Dongola, Fortuna, & Petras, 2010;Chen & Moore, 2002;Kheirizad, Akbar Jalali, & Khandani, 2013;Luo, Chen, Wang, & Pi, 2010;Monje, Chen, Vinagre, Xue, & Feliu, 2010;Radwan, Soliman, Elwakil, & Sedeek, 2009;Tavazoei & Haeri, 2008). The CONTACT Eva H. Dulf eva.dulf@aut.utcluj.ro popularity of FO PI μ D λ controllers is based on the two additional degrees of freedom involved than in the classical PID controller, μ and λ, which can improve the control performance.…”
