(Contributed by Prof. Riccardo Caponetto)

The advantages of fractional calculus and fractional order models (i.e., differential systems involving fractional order integrodifferential operators) and their applications have already been intensively studied during the last few decades with excellent results.

The long-range temporal or spatial dependence phenomena inherent to the fractional order systems present unique peculiarities not supported by their integer order counterpart, which permit better models of the dynamics of complex processes. Therefore, in many cases, these properties make fractional order system more adequate than usually adopted integer order one. Although noninteger differentiation has become a more and more popular tool for modeling and controlling the behaviors of physical systems from diverse applied branches of the science and engineering such as mechanics, electricity, chemistry, biology, and economics, many problems remain to be explored and solved.

This special issue aims to bring together the latest advances in theory and applications of fractional order systems.

Special Functions in Fractional Calculus and Related Fractional Differintegral Equation

Hari M Srivastava

Book Description
The subject of fractional calculus (that is, calculus of integrals and derivatives of any arbitrary real or complex order) has gained considerable popularity and importance during the past four decades, due mainly to its demonstrated applications in numerous seemingly diverse and widespread fields of science and engineering. It does indeed provide several potentially useful tools for solving differential, integral and differintegral equations, and various other problems involving special functions of mathematical physics as well as their extensions and generalizations in one and more variables.

Many books and monographs (and conference proceedings) deal with the subject of fractional calculus and its applications. However, to the best of our knowledge, there does not exist an exclusive work that co-ordinates the disciplines of fractional calculus and special functions in a potentially useful manner. This book is an attempt in that direction and would serve a dual purpose: in providing key formulas and identities involving special functions and also in opening up some novel avenues of applications of fractional calculus.

Publication information: Riccardo Caponetto, Giovanni Dongola, Luigi Fortuna, Antonio Gallo, New results on the synthesis of FO-PID controllers, Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, 15(4), 2010, 997¨C1007.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1007570409002822

Abstract
In this paper a new procedure that allows to define the parameters of fractional order PI¦ËD¦Ìcontroller, designed to stabilize a first-order plant with delay-time, is proposed. Using a version of the Hermite¨CBiehler theorem applicable to quasipolynomials, the complete set of stabilizing PI¦ËD¦Ìparameters is determined. The widespread industrial use of PID controllers and the potentiality of their non-integer order representation justifies a timely interest to PI¦ËD¦Ì tuning techniques.

Fractional control of heat diffusion systems

Abstract
The concept of differentiation and integration to non-integer order has its origins in the seventeen century. However, only in the second-half of the twenty century appeared the first applications related to the area of control theory. In this paper we consider the study of a heat diffusion system based on the application of the fractional calculus concepts. In this perspective, several control methodologies are investigated and compared. Simulations are presented assessing the performance of the proposed fractional-order algorithms.
