Abstract

Given any pair of stable fractional order polynomials with fixed commensurate order \(\alpha \), for \(0<\alpha <2\), a stable path joining them is provided by mean of convex combinations in the arguments and magnitudes of their roots. It is shown that any pair of paths obtained with this technique are homotopically equivalent. Consequently, a dense trajectory in the stable fractional order polynomials set has been exhibited. Finally, a stabilizing feedback control in terms of the continuous coefficients of the path has been designed and an illustrative example is given.
