Robust model predictive control for fractional-order descriptor systems with uncertainty.

In this study, a new robust predictive control technique is investigated for uncertain fractional-order descriptor systems. Using the properties of fractional calculus and the construction of an appropriate Lyapunov function, the sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of a robust predictive controller are given by minimizing the worst-case optimization problem. The new robust predictive controller is presented by using Shur complement, linear matrix inequality toolbox and cone-complement linear algorithm, and it is proved that the feasible solution of the optimization problem at the initial time can guarantee the admissibility of fractional-order descriptor closed-loop system.
