Stability of fractional-order linear time-invariant system with noncommensurate orders

Abstract

Bounded-input bounded-output stability conditions for fractional-order linear time-invariant (LTI) system with multiple noncommensurate orders have been established in this paper. The orders become noncommensurate orders when they do not have a common divisor. Sufficient and necessary conditions of stability for this kind of fractional-order LTI system with multiple noncommensurate orders. Based on the numerical inverse Laplace transform technique, time-domain responses for a fractional-order system with double noncommensurate orders are presented to illustrate the obtained stability results.
