Fractional Calculus in Control and Modelling

This special issue belongs to the section “Engineering“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The main aim of this Special Issue is to present control algorithms and models based on the framework of the fractional calculus. Furthermore, the Special Issue aims at proposing practical applications of fractional calculus. Digital and analogue implementations of fractional order controllers are all welcome as a possible market application of fractional calculus.
We are inviting the submission of papers describing original research work that reflects both recent theoretical advances and experimental results as well as opens new avenues for research.

Prof. Dr. Riccardo Caponetto
Guest Editor
