Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide a survey on the recently obtained results which are useful in time response analysis of fractional-order control systems. In this survey, at first some results on error signal analysis in fractional-order control systems are presented. Then, some previously obtained results which are helpful for system output analysis in fractional-order control systems are summarized. In addition, some results on the analysis of the control signal and the system response to the load disturbances in fractional-order control systems are reviewed.
