Abstract: The object of this study is to develop a self-tuning fractional order proportionalintegral-derivative (SFOPID) controller for controlling the mover position of a direct drive linear voice coil motor (VCM) accurately under different operational conditions. The fractional order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controller can improve the control performances of the conventional i...

In this paper we study a very general quadratic integral equation of fractional order. We show that the quadratic integral equations of fractional orders has at least one monotonic solution in the Banach space of all real functions defined and continuous on a bounded and closed interval. The concept of a measure of noncompactness related to monotonicity, introduced by J. Banaś and L. Olszowy, a...

Firm reputation is an intangible asset that within a resource-based view can provide a sustainable competitive advantage (Barney, 1991; Carter & Ruefli, 2006; Fombrun, 1996; Roberts & Dowling, 2002). While reputation is built over time, it is highly vulnerable to being tarnished and risks being lost in no time at all (Carter & Ruefli, 2006; Davies, Chun, Vinhas da Silva & Roper, 2003; Hall, 199...

In this article we provide integral representations for the Dirichlet beta and Riemann zeta functions, which are obtained by combining Mellin transform with the fractional Fourier transform. As an application of these integral formulas we derive tractable expansions of these L-functions in the series of Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials and rising factorials.

We introduce the fractional integral corresponding to the new concept of fractional derivative recently introduced by Caputo and Fabrizio and we study some related fractional differential equations.

A matrix form representation of discrete analogues of various forms of fractional differentiation and fractional integration is suggested. The approach, which is described in this paper, unifies the numerical differentiation of integer order and the n-fold integration, using the so-called triangular strip matrices. Applied to numerical solution of differential equations, it also unifies the sol...

in this article using the inverse laplace transform, we show analytical solutions for the generalized mass transfers with (and without) a chemical reaction. these transfers have been expressed as the couette flow with the fractional derivative of the caputo sense. also, using the hankel contour for the bromwich's integral, the solutions are given in terms of the generalized airy functions.

A novel fractional order (FO) fuzzy Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller has been proposed in this paper which works on the closed loop error and its fractional derivative as the input and has a fractional integrator in its output. The fractional order differ-integrations in the proposed fuzzy logic controller (FLC) are kept as design variables along with the input-output scaling f...
