Abstract

We consider uncertain fractional-order linear time invariant (FO-LTI) systems with interval coefficients. Our focus is on the robust controllability issue for interval FO-LTI systems in state-space form. We revisit the controllability problem for the case when there is no interval uncertainty. It turns out that the controllability check for FO-LTI systems amounts to checking the controllability of conventional integer order state space. Based on this fact, we further show that, for interval FO-LTI systems, the key is to check the linear dependency of a set of interval vectors. Illustrative examples are presented.
