Lectures

Goal

Introduce students to basic concepts of fractional calculus. It is possible to solve problem of modeling as well as control task of the fractional order system (FOS) using modern theory based on fractional calculus. Determination (simulation) models of FOS - i.e. fractional differential equations of motion of the FOS, as well as fractional order controls which are important in practical problems of the FOS.Practical simulations FOS using MATLAB software package.

Outcome

By attending this course student acquires the ability to analyze problems and synthesis solutions to the problem of modeling and control of given fractional order systems using scientific methods of fractional calculus. This enabled him applying solutions to practical problems of fractional order systems as well as monitoring and implementation of innovation of new results of fractional calculus.

Theoretical teaching
