Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Time-delay fractional-order systems are dynamical systems that exhibit both fractional-order differentiation and time-delay characteristics. They can be extensively applied in practical system modeling and control. Research into the theory, stability analysis, and applications of these systems is crucial for developing a profound understanding and for their utilization. In terms of theory, the study of time-delay fractional-order systems involves fractional calculus, the effects of time delay, and system modeling and analysis. Stability analysis holds great significance in the study of time-delay fractional-order systems as it explores stability conditions and boundaries to ascertain the system's stability characteristics. For time-delay fractional-order systems, stability analysis includes identifying stability regions, stability boundaries, and criteria. The goal of stability analysis is to ensure system stability and performance in the presence of time delays and fractional-order characteristics. Time-delay fractional-order systems find wide applications in various fields. For instance, in electrical engineering, time-delay fractional-order systems are used for stability analysis and control of power systems. In biomedical engineering, they are employed for neural signal processing and biological system modeling. In finance, time-delay fractional-order systems are useful for market forecasting and risk management. The application of time-delay fractional-order systems also extends to fields such as mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and control systems. In conclusion, research on the theory, stability analysis, and applications of time-delay fractional-order systems in various domains is of significant importance for a comprehensive understanding and practical utilization of these systems.

The focus of this Special Issue is to continue to advance the research on topics relating to the theory, stability analysis, and applications of fractional-order systems with delay. Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to):

  • Stability analysis of fractional-order systems;
  • Stability analysis and control design of fractional-order neural networks;
  • Nonlinear analysis of distributed-order systems and neural networks;
  • Fractional-order and distributed-order control systems and their implementation;
  • Effects of delay, impulse, and perturbance on fractional-order systems;
  • Dynamics analysis of stochastic fractional-order systems and neural networks.

In this paper, we ponder a kind of discrete-time fractional-order complex-valued fuzzy BAM neural network. Firstly, in order to guarantee the quasi-projective synchronization of the considered networks, an original quantitative control strategy is designed. Next, by virtue of the relevant definitions and properties of the Mittag-Leffler function, we propose a novel discrete-time fractional-order Halanay inequality, which is more efficient for disposing of the discrete-time fractional-order models with time delays. Then, based on the new lemma, fractional-order h-difference theory, and comparison principle, we obtain some easy-to-verify synchronization criteria in terms of algebraic inequalities. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to check the accuracy of the proposed theoretical results. Full article

In this research, the adaptive event-triggered neural network controller design problem is investigated for a class of state-constrained pure-feedback fractional-order nonlinear systems (FONSs) with external disturbances, unknown actuator saturation, and input delay. An auxiliary compensation function based on the integral function of the input signal is presented to handle input delay. The barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is utilized to deal with state constraints, and the event-triggered strategy is applied to overcome the communication burden from the limited communication resources. By the utilization of a backstepping scheme and radial basis function neural network, an adaptive event-triggered neural state-feedback stabilization controller is constructed, in which the fractional-order dynamic surface filters are employed to reduce the computational burden from the recursive procedure. It is proven that with the fractional-order Lyapunov analysis, all the solutions of the closed-loop system are bounded, and the tracking error can converge to a small interval around the zero, while the state constraint is satisfied and the Zeno behavior can be strictly ruled out. Two examples are finally given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy. Full article

Fractional-order differential equations have been proved to have great practical application value in characterizing the dynamical peculiarity in biology. In this article, relying on earlier work, we formulate a new fractional oxygen–plankton model with delay. First of all, the features of the solutions of the fractional delayed oxygen–plankton model are explored. The judgment rules on non-negativeness, existence and uniqueness and the boundedness of the solution are established. Subsequently, the generation of bifurcation and stability of the model are dealt with. Delay-independent parameter criteria on bifurcation and stability are presented. Thirdly, a hybrid controller and an extended hybrid controller are designed to control the time of onset of bifurcation and stability domain of this model. The critical delay value is provided to display the bifurcation point. Last, software experiments are offered to support the acquired key outcomes. The established outcomes of this article are perfectly innovative and provide tremendous theoretical significance in balancing the oxygen density and the phytoplankton density in biology.

Asymptotic and Mittag–Leffler Synchronization of Fractional-Order Octonion-Valued Neural Networks with Neutral-Type and Mixed Delays

Abstract
Very recently, a different generalization of real-valued neural networks (RVNNs) to multidimensional domains beside the complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs), quaternion-valued neural networks (QVNNs), and Clifford-valued neural networks (ClVNNs) has appeared, namely octonion-valued neural networks (OVNNs), which are not a subset of ClVNNs.

Very recently, a different generalization of real-valued neural networks (RVNNs) to multidimensional domains beside the complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs), quaternion-valued neural networks (QVNNs), and Clifford-valued neural networks (ClVNNs) has appeared, namely octonion-valued neural networks (OVNNs), which are not a subset of ClVNNs. They are defined on the octonion algebra, which is an 8D algebra over the reals, and is also the only other normed division algebra that can be defined over the reals beside the complex and quaternion algebras. On the other hand, fractional-order neural networks (FONNs) have also been very intensively researched in the recent past. Thus, the present work combines FONNs and OVNNs and puts forward a fractional-order octonion-valued neural network (FOOVNN) with neutral-type, time-varying, and distributed delays, a very general model not yet discussed in the literature, to our awareness. Sufficient criteria expressed as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and algebraic inequalities are deduced, which ensure the asymptotic and Mittag–Leffler synchronization properties of the proposed model by decomposing the OVNN system of equations into a real-valued one, in order to avoid the non-associativity problem of the octonion algebra. To accomplish synchronization, we use two different state feedback controllers, two different types of Lyapunov-like functionals in conjunction with two Halanay-type lemmas for FONNs, the free-weighting matrix method, a classical lemma, and Young’s inequality. The four theorems presented in the paper are each illustrated by a numerical example. Full article
