Abstract
In this paper, we aim to solve the stabilization problem for a large class of fractional-order nonautonomous systems via linear state feedback control and adaptive control. By constructing quadratic Lyapunov functions and utilizing a new property for Caputo fractional derivative we derive some sufficient conditions for the global asymptotical stabilization of a class of fractional-order nonautonomous systems. We give two illustrative examples to validate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
1 Introduction
Fractional calculus, as a mathematical tool dealing with derivatives and integrals of arbitrary orders, has played a central role in physics [1], differential and integral equations [2], signal processing [3], human relationships [4], image encryption [5], thermal conductivity [6], electrical circuits [7], dynamical models [8], nonlinear control systems [9], complex networks [10], and so on. One of very important areas of application is nonlinear control systems. In particular, stability analysis and stabilization are of theoretical and practical importance for control systems, certainly including fractional-order systems. The early studies on the stability of fractional-order systems mainly concentrated on the linear cases, and many well-known results have been obtained. However, the stability analysis of fractional-order nonlinear systems remains an open problem. More details on the development of stability of fractional-order systems can be found in [11–15].
Recently, the stability and stabilization problem of a class of fractional-order nonlinear systems has attracted increasing interest of scholars [16–20]. In these literatures, it has been shown that most of the well-known chaotic systems can be modeled as this kind of fractional-order nonlinear systems (so-called semilinear systems), where the nonlinear vector field can be separated into linear and nonlinear parts. Moreover, the Mittag-Leffler function, the Laplace transform, and the Gronwall lemma are the main techniques used to prove the stability. It was shown that these techniques are neither simple nor straightforward and the proofs of the corresponding theorems are very complex. It should be also noted that the stability results in [16–19] are local, and all of the stability results in [16–20] are valid only for fractional-order autonomous systems. However, as we know, the stability results for fractional-order nonautonomous systems, including chaotic and nonchaotic systems, are still relatively few.
In integer-order nonautonomous systems, the Lyapunov direct method is an effective way to analyze the stability of a system. Motivated by the application of fractional calculus in nonlinear systems, the Lyapunov direct method has been extended to fractional-order systems by Li et al. [21, 22]. Similarly, Baleanu et al. [23] and Wu et al. [24] extended the theorem to fractional-order functional systems and fractional-order discrete systems. The fractional Lyapunov method generalizes the idea that the stability condition is derived by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function and calculating its fractional derivative. However, it is not an easy task to apply this method in the stability analysis of a general fractional-order nonlinear system. In [25], it has been demonstrated that fractional derivatives of noninteger orders cannot satisfy the Leibniz rule. So far, there are no techniques available to calculate the fractional derivative of a general composite Lyapunov function.
Recently, some efforts have been devoted to application of the fractional Lyapunov direct method in stability analysis of fractional-order systems. Especially, in [26], a simple Lyapunov function \(V= \lambda^{T} x\), \(\lambda>0\) has been proposed to solve the stabilization problem for fractional-order linear positive systems. By constructing some suitable stochastic Lyapunov functions Agarwal et al. [27] established some sufficient conditions for two types of stability of stochastic differential equations. In [28], based on the frequency distributed fractional integrator model, a fractional-order system is transformed into an equivalent integer-order system, and then similar stability results as those for integer-order systems are obtained by using quadratic Lyapunov functions. Hu et al. [29] considered an integer-order derivative instead of the fractional-order derivative of a Lyapunov function to prove the revised Lyapunov stability theorems. Nevertheless, the proposed Lyapunov functions [21–24, 26–29] are valid only for some fractional-order systems with special characteristics.
In classic Lyapunov theory, the quadratic form is one of the most commonly used Lyapunov functions for general integer-order nonlinear systems. Motivated by this, Aguila-Camacho et al. [30] and Duarte-Mermoud et al. [31] introduced two new inequalities for estimating the Caputo fractional derivative of a quadratic function and a common quadratic function, respectively. Thus, wecan try to prove the stability for general fractional-order nonlinear systems by using common quadratic Lyapunov functions.
Quite recently, Liu et al. [32] studied the stability of a class of fractional nonlinear systems using the fractional Lyapunov direct method and a new lemma proposed in [30, 31]. In this paper, we aim to solve the stabilization problem for such fractional-order systems via linear state feedback control and adaptive control.
The main contributions of this paper are as follows. First, constructing quadratic Lyapunov functions and using a new property for the Caputo derivative, we respectively investigate the stabilization of a class of fractional-order nonautonomous systems via state feedback control and adaptive control. Then, we derive some sufficient conditions for the global asymptotical stabilization. Note that using the existing results in [16–20], we may draw a wrong conclusion about asymptotic stability for our nonautonomous model. Moreover, asymptotic stability analysis of fractional-order nonautonomous systems is more difficult. This technical difficulty can be overcome by the fractional Lyapunov direct method [21, 22] and a new property for the Caputo derivative. Further, we also prove that quadratic Lyapunov functions are always valid for our model. Differing from [16–20], our results can only be applied not only to fractional-order autonomous systems, but also to fractional-order nonautonomous systems. In practice, we can easily realize the stabilization of this kind of fractional-order systems based on our criteria.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we introduce some useful definitions, properties, and preliminaries for fractional calculus and fractional-order systems. In Section 3, we give three stabilization criteria for a class of fractional-order nonautonomous systems. In Section 4, we provide three numerical examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results. Finally, we give some conclusions and further work in Section 5.
Notions
Let \(\mathbb{ R}= ( -\infty,+\infty ) \), \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) be the n-dimensional Euclidean space, and let \(\mathbb{R}^{m \times n}\) be the space of \(m \times n\) real matrices; \(\Vert x \Vert = \sqrt{x^{T} x} \) is the two-norm of a vector x, \(\Vert P \Vert = \sqrt{ \lambda_{\max} ( P^{T} P )}\) is the two-norm of a matrix P, and \(\lambda_{\min} ( \cdot )\) (\(\lambda_{\max} (\cdot ) \)) denotes the minimum (maximum) eigenvalue of the corresponding matrix.
2 Preliminaries
In this paper, we consider the Caputo definition of fractional derivative, which is most popular in engineering applications.
Definition 2.1
([33])
The uniform formula of a fractional integral with \(0 < \alpha<1\) is given by
where \(t \geq t_{0}\), \(f ( t )\) is an arbitrary integrable function, \(I _{t}^{\alpha} \) is the fractional integral operator, \(\Gamma ( \alpha ) = \int_{0}^{\infty} t^{\alpha-1} \exp ( - t ) \,dt\) is the gamma function, and \(\exp ( \boldsymbol{\cdot} ) \) is the exponential function.
Definition 2.2
([33])
The Caputo fractional derivative with fractional order α can be expressed as
where \([ \alpha ] \) denotes the integer part of α. Throughout this paper, we choose the notion \(D_{t}^{\alpha} \) as the Caputo fractional derivative operator \({}_{t_{0}}^{C} D_{t}^{\alpha }\). In the following, unless otherwise stated, we consider \(\alpha \in ( 0,1 ) \).
The Laplace transform of the Caputo fractional derivative of a function can be written as
where \(\alpha\in ( 0,1 ) \), s is the variable in the Laplace domain, \(\mathcal{L} \{ \boldsymbol{\cdot} \} \) denotes the Laplace transform, \(f ( t_{0} ) \) is the initial value, and \(F ( s ) \) is the Laplace transform of \(f ( t )\).
Property 2.1
([33])
\(I_{t}^{\alpha} D_{t}^{\alpha} f ( t ) = f ( t ) -f ( t_{0} ) \), \(\forall t \geq t_{0}\).
According to the definition of the Caputo derivative, a general fractional-order nonlinear and nonautonomous system can be characterized by
where \(\alpha\in ( 0,1 ) \), and t denotes the time.
For the stability analysis of system (2.4), the fractional Lyapunov direct method has been proposed [21, 22], which is stated in Lemma 2.1.
Remark 2.1
From [22] we know that system (2.4) has the same equilibrium points as the integer-order system \(\dot{x} ( t ) = f ( t,x ) \).
Definition 2.3
A continuous function \(\gamma :[0,t]\rightarrow [0,+\infty]\) is said to belong to class \(\mathcal{K}\) if it is strictly increasing and \(\gamma ( 0 ) =0\).
Lemma 2.1
Let \(x=0\) be an equilibrium point for the fractional-order nonlinear system (2.4). Let \(V ( t,x ) \) be a Lyapunov function, and let \(\gamma_{i}\) (\(i=1,2,3\)) be functions of class \(\mathcal{K}\) such that
where \(\beta\in ( 0,1 ) \). Then, the equilibrium point \(x=0\) is asymptotically stable.
Remark 2.2
For a quadratic positive definite function \(V= x ^{T} Px\), the following inequalities are always true:
Obviously, condition (a) of Lemma 2.1 is naturally satisfied if we choose \(V= x^{T} Px\) as a Lyapunov function.
According to [31], calculating the fractional derivative of the product of two functions implies evaluating an infinite sum. Obviously, this is not an easy task. This is also the main reason that fractional theory, especially fractional Lyapunov direct theory, is not as popular as it should be. Recently, a new property for the Caputo derivative is stated in Lemma 2.2 [31], which can facilitate estimating the fractional derivative of a common quadratic Lyapunov function.
Lemma 2.2
([31])
Let \(x ( t ) \in \mathbb{R}^{n} \) be a vector of differentiable functions. Then, the following inequality holds:
where \(P\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n} \) is a constant symmetric positive definite matrix.
Definition 2.4
([22])
The Mittag-Leffler functions in one parameter and two parameters are defined as
where \(z\in \mathbb{C}\), \(\alpha>0\), \(\beta>0\), \(E_{\alpha,1} ( z ) = E_{\alpha} ( z ) \), and \(E_{1,1} ( z ) = \mathrm{e}^{z}\).
The Laplace transform for the Mittag-Leffler function with two parameters is written as follows:
where \(t\geq0\), \(\mathcal{R} ( s ) \) is the real part of s, and \(k\in \mathbb{R}\).
3 Main results
In this section, by constructing quadratic Lyapunov functions we derive some stabilization criteria for a class of fractional-order nonautonomous systems based on the fractional Lyapunov direct method and other inequality techniques.
Consider the following fractional-order nonautonomous system:
where \(\alpha\in ( 0,1 ) \), \(x= ( x_{1}, x_{2},\dots, x_{n} ) ^{T} \in\mathbb{R}^{n}\) represents the state vector of the system, \(A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n} \) is a constant matrix, and \(g: [ t_{0},+\infty ] \times\mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n} \) is a nonlinear vector function.
Remark 3.1
In general, a differential equation is called semilinear if it consists of the sum of a well-understood linear part plus a lower-order nonlinear part. It is well known that many real systems in engineering and science can be modeled as semilinear systems [34]. Therefore, our model can describe a large class of fractional-order physical systems, including linear systems with nonlinear perturbation, chaotic systems, and so on. Our major aim is to show how a simple state feedback controller can be designed to stabilize this type of systems if the nonlinear part satisfies a constraint.
Assumption 3.1
For a nonlinear function g, \(g ( t,0 ) =0\) and there exists a constant \(\varepsilon>0\) such that \(\Vert g ( t,x ) \Vert \leq\varepsilon \Vert x \Vert \) for \(x\in \mathbb{R}^{n}\) and \(t\in[t_{0},+\infty]\).
Remark 3.2
In fact, Assumption 3.1 is the so-called global Lipschitz condition. It seems that this assumption is not easy to satisfy in general nonlinear systems. However, as stated in Remark 3.1, our model has potential applications in robust stabilization of linear systems with nonlinear perturbation and chaotic control and synchronization. According to Remark 3 in [35], if a system is Lipschitz, then it can be made contracting by means of a simple (static) state feedback, implying the possibility of designing simple observers/controllers. Fortunately, since the chaotic is bounded, we can easily verify that many well-known chaotic systems, such as Chua’s circuit, Arneodo’s system, Lorenz’s system, Duffing’s oscillator, Chen’s system, etc., all satisfy this assumption.
Quite recently, in [32], conditions for the asymptotical stability of system (3.1) have been derived by using the fractional Lyapunov direct method and Lemma 2.2.
Lemma 3.1
([32])
Suppose that Assumption 3.1 holds. System (3.1) is globally asymptotically stable about its equilibrium point if there exists a symmetric matrix \(P > 0\), \(P \in\mathbb{R}^{ {n}\times{n}}\), such that
where \(\varepsilon>0\), \(r>0\), and I denotes identity matrix.
In this paper, we further study the stabilization of system (3.1) via linear state feedback control and adaptive control.
A controlled system with state feedback is characterized by
where \(\alpha\in ( 0,1 ) \), \(K \in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n} \) is a feedback gain matrix, and \(\tilde{A} =A-K\). Thus, our aim is to select a suitable matrix K such that the controlled system (3.3) is asymptotically stable.
Theorem 3.1
Suppose that Assumption 3.1 holds. The controlled system (3.3) with the feedback gain \(K= Z Y^{-1}\) is globally asymptotically stable if there are suitable matrices Y and Z such that the following LMI condition holds:
where \(Y = P^{-1} >0\), \(\varepsilon>0\), \(r>0\), and I is the identity matrix.
Proof
Substituting \(\tilde{A} =A-BK\) for A in (3.2), we easily obtain
By using Schur complements, (3.5) can be rewritten as
Let \(Y = P^{-1}\) and \(Z = K P^{-1}\). Multiplying (3.6) by \(( {\scriptsize\begin{matrix}{} Y & 0 \cr 0 & I \end{matrix}} ) \) from the both sides, we can further transform the condition (3.6) into the LMI form (3.4). The proof is completed. □
Remark 3.3
It should be noted that the feasible set Y and Z satisfying (3.4) can be solved by using the LMI Toolbox in Matlab software. Thus, a feedback gain matrix K can be further obtained by \(K = Z Y^{-1}\). However, without any constraint on K, the feedback controller to stabilize a huge dimension system may be relatively complex and difficult to apply in practice.
Theorem 3.2
Suppose that Assumption 3.1 holds. If the feedback gain matrix K is selected such that all eigenvalues of à satisfy \(\operatorname{Re} \lambda ( \tilde{A} ) < 0\) and the solution P of the equation \(P \tilde{A} + \tilde{A}^{T} P =-I \) satisfies \(1-2 \varepsilon\lambda_{\max} ( P ) >0\), then the controlled system (3.3) is globally asymptotically stable about its equilibrium point, where I denotes the identity matrix.
Proof
Consider the Lyapunov function candidate
Applying Lemma 2.2, the fractional derivative of Lyapunov function (3.7) along the trajectories of system (3.3) gives
From trivial algebra, using the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, we have
From Assumption 3.1 it follows that
Therefore, combing (3.8) and (3.10), we have
Since all eigenvalues of à satisfy \(\operatorname{Re} \lambda ( \tilde{A} ) < 0\), there exists a unique positive definite solution P of the equation \(P \tilde{A} + \tilde{A}^{T} P =-I\). Next, from (3.11) we obtain
Therefore, if \(1-2\varepsilon\lambda_{\max} ( P ) >0 \) and the \(\mathcal{K} \) functions \(\gamma_{1} ( \Vert x \Vert ) = \lambda_{\min} ( P ) \Vert x \Vert ^{2} \) and \(\gamma_{2} ( \Vert x \Vert ) = \lambda_{\max} ( P ) \Vert x \Vert ^{2}\), \(\gamma _{3} ( \Vert x \Vert ) =( 1-2\varepsilon \lambda_{\max} ( P ) ) \Vert x \Vert ^{2} \) are used, then all the conditions of Lemma 2.1 are satisfied. As a result, the equilibrium point of the system (3.3) is globally asymptotically stable. The proof is completed. □
Next, the fractional adaptive law is designed to tune the feedback gain matrix K of system (3.3). For simplification and without loss of generality, we assume that \(K=\operatorname{diag}( k_{1} (t), k_{2} (t),\ldots, k _{n} (t) )\).
Theorem 3.3
Suppose that Assumption 3.1 holds. Then, the controlled system (3.3) is globally asymptotically stable about its equilibrium point under the following adaptive updating law:
where \(\mu_{i}\) are positive constants.
Proof
Consider a Lyapunov function for system (3.3) as follows:
where \(k_{i}^{*}\) (\(i=1,2,\ldots,n \)) are positive constants to be determined later.
Applying Lemma 2.2, the fractional derivative of Lyapunov function (3.14) along the trajectories of system (3.3) and the adaptive law (3.13) gives
where \(K^{*} = \operatorname{diag}( k_{1}^{*}, k_{2}^{*},\ldots, k_{n}^{*} )\).
By the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality from Assumption 3.1 it follows that
Combing (3.15) and (3.16), we obtain
Choosing \(k_{i}^{*} \) sufficiently large such that
where \(\min \{ k_{i}^{*} \} \) denotes the minimum value of \(k_{1}^{*}, k_{2}^{*},\ldots, k_{n}^{*}\), we obtain
Obviously, there exists \(p ( t ) \geq0\) satisfying
Calculating the Laplace transform of (3.20), we obtain
where \(V ( 0 ) \geq0\) is the initial value of \(V ( t ) \), and \(V ( {s} ) \), \(P ( {s} ) \), and \(X ( {s} ) \) denote the Laplace transforms of \(V ( t ) \), \(p ( t ) \), and \(x ( t ) ^{T} x ( t ) \), respectively.
Since \(V ( t ) \geq\frac{1}{2} x ( t ) ^{T} x ( t ) \), there exists a function \(q ( t ) \geq0\) such that
Calculating the Laplace transform of (3.22), we get
where \(Q ( {s} ) \) is the Laplace transform of \(q ( t ) \).
Substituting (3.21) into (3.23), we have
Calculating the inverse Laplace transform of (3.24), we obtain
where ∗ is the convolution operator.
Since \(t^{\alpha-1}\), \(p ( t ) \), \(q ( t ) \), and \(E_{\alpha,\alpha} ( -2 t^{\alpha} ) \) are nonnegative, we can derive from (3.25) that
By Definition 2.1 and Property 2.1, from (3.19) this yields
that is, \(V ( t ) \leq V ( 0 ) \), \(t\geq0\).
Combining the aforementioned situation, we arrive at
Thus, \(q ( t ) \) is bounded.
Recall now that, for \(0<\alpha\leq\beta<1 \) and \(\theta> 0\), \(E _{\alpha} ( - \theta t^{\alpha} ) \) and \(t^{\beta-1} E _{\alpha, \beta} ( -\theta t^{\alpha} ) \) are both completely monotonic (see [22]). As a result, from (3.26) we obtain \(\lim_{{t}\rightarrow+\infty} x ( t ) ^{T} x ( t ) =0\), namely \(\lim_{{t}\rightarrow+\infty} x ( t ) =0\). Considering (3.13), this implies that \(\lim_{t\rightarrow+\infty} D_{t}^{\alpha} k_{i} =0\). Noting now that the Caputo fractional derivative of a constant is always zero, we immediately conclude that \(k_{i}\) (\(i =1,2,\ldots, n \)) converges to a finite constant. Consequently, system (3.3) is stabilized by the adaptive law (3.13). The proof is completed. □
Remark 3.4
It should be noted that the Lyapunov (3.14) is the function of two variables \(x ( t ) \) and \(k_{i} ( t ) \), and \(D_{t}^{\alpha} V \leq- x ( t ) ^{T} x ( t ) \). To prove the convergence of \(x ( t ) \), condition (2.5) of Lemma 2.1 is not satisfied. In other words, the fractional Lyapunov direct method is not sufficient for proving the asymptotical stability of system (3.3) with adaptive law (3.13). It is well known that LaSalle’s invariance principle, Barbalat’s lemma, and other mathematical techniques can be used to solve the adaptive stability problem of integer-order nonlinear systems. However, these tools cannot be directly used in the fractional-order case. In this paper, the adaptive stability problem of fractional-order systems has been settled by utilizing the fractional Lyapunov function method combined with fractional inequality techniques, the Mittag-Leffler function, and the Laplace transform.
4 Illustrative examples
In this section, we give three illustrative examples to validate the theoretical results and use the predictor-corrector method [36] for numerical simulations.
Example 1
The fractional-order nonlinear nonautonomous parametrically excited Duffing oscillators is described by
When the parameters are chosen as \(\mu=0.5\), \(\omega=1\), \(\gamma=0.2\) and \(\alpha=0.975\), system (4.1) has a chaotic attractor shown in Figure 1.
Chaotic attractor of system ( 4.1 ) with \(\pmb{\mu=0.5}\) , \(\pmb{\omega=1}\) , \(\pmb{\gamma=0.2}\) , and \(\pmb{\alpha=0.975}\) .
System (4.1) can be rewritten as system (3.3), where
Then, we easily obtain
Since the chaotic system is bounded, we easily get that \(\vert x _{1} \vert <2\). Therefore, Assumption 3.1 is satisfied, and \(\varepsilon=4.5\). Choosing \(r=1\) and using the LMI Toolbox in MATLAB, it follows from condition (3.4) that
Therefore, all the conditions of Theorem 3.1 are satisfied, and we can conclude that the controlled system is asymptotically stable. The simulation results shown in Figure 2 verify the theoretical analysis.
In addition, according to Theorem 3.2, we choose the feedback gain \(K= \operatorname{diag} ( -6,-5 ) \). By a simple calculation the eigenvalues of Ã, the unique solution P of \(P \tilde{A} + \tilde{A} ^{T} P =-I\), and the maximum eigenvalue of P are given by
Therefore, all the conditions of Theorem 3.2 are satisfied, and we can conclude that the controlled system is asymptotically stable. The simulation results shown in Figure 3 verify the theoretical analysis.

Example 2
The fractional-order Arneodo system [37] is described by
When the parameters are chosen as \(\beta_{1} =5.5\), \(\beta_{2} =3.5\), \(\beta_{3} =0.8\), \(\beta_{4} =-1\), and \(\alpha=0.97\), system (4.6) displays the chaotic behavior shown in Figure 4. System (4.6) can be rewritten as system (3.3), where
Since the chaotic system is bounded, Assumption 3.1 is satisfied. To suppress the chaos, the adaptive law (3.13) is designed to tune the feedback gains \(k_{i}\). According to Theorem 3.3, we arbitrarily take \(( \mu_{1}, \mu_{2}, \mu_{3} ) = ( 3, 4,1 ) \). The initial conditions of the state vector x and the feedback gains \(k_{i}\) are chosen as \(x ( 0 ) =(-2,3,-5 )\) and \(( k _{1} ( 0 ) , k_{2} ( 0 ) , k_{3} ( 0 ) ) = ( 1,2,4 ) \). Thus, all the conditions of Theorem 3.3 are satisfied, and we can conclude that the controlled system is asymptotically stable. The simulation results shown in Figures 5 and 6 validate the theoretical analysis.

5 Conclusions
In this paper, we propose some stabilization criteria for a large class of fractional-order nonautonomous systems, for which quadratic Lyapunov functions are always valid. The proposed stability criteria can be seen as an extension and improvement of the existing results in the literatures [16–20, 32]. It has been also shown that our proofs of the theorems are simple and straightforward, and the stability conditions are more convenient for testing. Our future work includes the applications of the fractional Lyapunov direct method and fractional inequality techniques in the stabilization of more general fractional-order nonlinear systems.
