In this paper, the Caputo-Fabrizio definition of the fractional derivative will be applied to the minimum energy control problem for fractional positive continuous-time linear systems with bounded inputs.The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 the conditions for the reachability of the standard and positive fractional linear continuous-time systems will be given. The minimum energy control problem for the fractional positive continuous-time linear systems with bounded inputs is formulated and solved in Section 3. Procedure for computation of the optimal input that steers the state of the system from zero initial state to the desired final state is given and illustrated by example of positive fractional electrical circuit in Section 4. Concluding remarks are given in Section 5.The following notation will be used: ℜ -the set of real numbers, ℜ n×m -the set of n£m real matrices, ℜ + n£m -the set of n£m matrices with nonnegative entries and ℜ + n = ℜ + n£1 , M n -the set of n£n Metzler matrices, I n -the n£n identity matrix.
Reachability of standard fractional systemsThe Caputo-Fabrizio definition of fractional derivative of order α of the function f(t) for 0 < α < 1 has the form [32,33] 1 BULLETIN OF THE POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES TECHNICAL SCIENCES, Vol. XX, No. Y, 2016 DOI: 10.1515/bpasts-2016 Minimum energy control of fractional positive continuous-time linear systems using Caputo-Fabrizio definition Abstract. The Caputo-Fabrizio definition of the fractional derivative is applied to minimum energy control of fractional positive continuous-time linear systems with bounded inputs. Conditions for the reachability of standard and positive fractional linear continuous-time systems are established. The minimum energy control problem for the fractional positive linear systems with bounded inputs is formulated and solved.
