Abstract

The purpose of this note is to discuss some aspects of recently proposed fractional-order variants of complex least mean square (CLMS) and normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithms in Shah et al. (Nonlinear Dyn. 88(2):839–858, 2017). It is observed that these algorithms do not always converge, whereas they have apparently no advantage over the CLMS and NLMS algorithms whenever they converge. Our claims are based on analytical reasoning and are supported by numerical simulations.
