Abstract

In the present paper, we investigate the controllability, observability and fractional linear-quadratic problem of a non-homogeneous continuous-time fractional dynamical system (CF-DS) using the conformable fractional derivatives (CFD). We show that the controllability is equivalent to a controllability matrix that has a full rank. We also show a relationship between controllability and fractional differential Lyapunov equation. We give some theorems for observability of continuous-time fractional dynamical system. Moreover, we found a relationship between the solution of conformable fractional differential Riccati matrix equation and the solution of another conformable fractional linear system. We also find an optimal control that minimizes a functional cost under a conformable fractional system CF-DS by using the solution of fractional differential Riccati equation. Finally, we offer some applications to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.
