Fixed pole based modeling and simulation schemes for fractional order systems

Abstract This paper mainly investigates the numerical implementation issue of fractional order systems. First, a pattern of fixed pole schemes are developed to approximate fractional integrator/differentiator, whose common is that the poles keep constant for different α . Then, two solutions are proposed to improve the approximation performance around α = 0 . Afterwards, the simulation schemes are introduced for two kinds of fractional order systems. In those schemes, the configuration problem of nonzero initial value is considered. Finally, a fair and solid comparison to the classical approximation methods is presented, demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of the elaborated algorithms.
