Abstract

The application of the FC concepts has increased significantly in different fields of science and engineering, because FC captures properties that classical integer order models neglect. This paper studies a heat diffusion system, that is described through the fractional operator s^0^.^5, under the control of a fractional nonlinear algorithm. The tuning of the algorithm follows the optimization of performance control indices. The results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed controller.
