This paper reviews some properties of the gamma function, particularly the incomplete gamma function and its complement, as a function of the Laplace variable s. The utility of these functions in the solution of initialization problems in fractional-order system theory is demonstrated. Several specific differential equations are presented, and their initialization responses are found for a variety of initializations. Both the time-domain and Laplace-domain solutions are obtained and compared. The complementary incomplete gamma function is shown to be essential in finding the Laplace-domain solution of a fractional-order differential equation.

Abstract Discrete fractional order systems have attracted more and more attention in recent years. Nabla Laplace transform is an important tool to deal with the problem of nabla discrete fractional order systems, but there is still much room for its development. In this paper, 14 lemmas are listed to conclude the existing properties and 14 theorems are developed to describe the innovative features. On one hand, these properties make the Ntransform more effective and efficient. On the other hand, they enrich the discrete fractional order system theory.

Recall the integral definition of the gamma function: for a > 0. By splitting this integral at a point x ⩾ 0, we obtain the two incomplete gamma functions:(1)(2)Γ(a, x)is sometimes called the complementary incomplete gamma function. These functions were first investigated by Prym in 1877, and Γ(a, x) has also been called Prym's function. Not many books give these functions much space. Massive compilations of results about them can be seen stated without proof in [1, chapter 9] and [2, chapter 8]. Here we offer a small selection of these results, with proofs and some discussion of context. We hope to convince some readers that the functions are interesting enough to merit attention in their own right.

Finding the oscillatory region in the order space is one of the most challenging problems in nonlinear fractional-order systems. This paper proposes a method to find the possible oscillatory region in the order space for a nonlinear fractional-order system. The effectiveness of the proposed method in finding the oscillatory region and special order sets placed in its boundary is confirmed by presenting some examples.

In this paper, fractional order system observability is discussed. A representation of these systems that involves a classical linear integer system and a system described by a parabolic equation is used to define the system real state and to conclude that the system state cannot be observed. However, it is also shown that the state space like representation usually encountered in the literature for fractional systems, can be used to design Luenberger like observers that permit an estimation of important variables in the system.

In this paper, synchronization of a fractional-order system with unknown parameters is studied. The chaotic attractor of the system is got by means of numerical simulation. Then based on the stability theory of fractional-order systems, suitable synchronization controllers and parameter identification rules for the unknown parameters are designed. Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the controllers.

A fractional-order system with complex variables is proposed. Firstly, the dynamics of the system including symmetry, equilibrium points, chaotic attractors, and bifurcations with variation of system parameters and derivative order are studied. The routes leading to chaos including the period-doubling and tangent bifurcations are obtained. Then, based on the stability theory of fractional-order systems, the scheme of synchronization for the fractional-order complex system is presented. By designing appropriate controllers, the synchronization for the system is realized. Numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

We consider the incomplete gamma function [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We derive several convergent expansions of [Formula: see text] in terms of exponentials and rational functions of [Formula: see text] that hold uniformly in [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] bounded from below. These expansions, multiplied by [Formula: see text], are expansions of [Formula: see text] uniformly convergent in [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] bounded from above. The expansions are accompanied by realistic error bounds.

A parallel algorithm is presented that approximates a solution for fractional-order systems. The algorithm isimplemented in CUDA, using the specific GPU capabilities. The numerical methods used are Adams-Bashforth-Moulton (ABM) predictor-corrector scheme and Diethelm’s numerical method. A comparison is done between these numerical methods that adapts the same algorithm for the approximation of the solution.
