Abstract

In this paper, relation between the inner dimension of a fractional order LTI system and the maximum number of frequencies which exist in oscillations generated by the system is investigated. The considered system is defined in pseudo state space form and the orders of its involved fractional derivatives are rational numbers between zero and one. First, an upper bound is derived for the maximum number of frequencies. Then, using the restricted difference bases concept, a new method is introduced to design a multifrequency oscillatory fractional order system. Finally, based on the proposed method some lower bounds are derived for the maximum number of frequencies obtainable in solutions of a fractional order system having a fixed inner dimension.
