Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The theory of fractional-order calculus has been successfully applied to various fields, and it can describe some non-classical phenomena in natural science and engineering. Fractional-order models are a powerful tool for advancing scientific research in these fields. Time delays often appear in the states, the control inputs, or the measurements in many real systems. The existence of time delays often leads to undesirable dynamic behaviors, or even destroys the stability. Therefore, we hope that researchers will discuss various applications of fractional-order time delay systems and thereby inspire readers in this Special Issue.

The purpose of this Special Issue is mainly to gather some up-to-date research results on recent advances in the theory and application of stability analysis and stabilization of fractional-order time delay systems. We invite the authors to submit original research articles and high-quality review articles in fractional order time delay systems obtained from the development, analysis, and simulation of mathematical models.

The focus of this Special Issue is to continue to advance research on topics relating to the theory, design, implementation, and application of fractional-order time delay systems. Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to):

  • Explicit solution of the discrete-time fractional-order time delay systems;
  • Explicit solution of the continuous-time fractional-order time delay systems;
  • Modeling and application of fractional-order model with time delays;
  • Stability and synchronization of fractional-order complex networks with time delays;
  • Stability and synchronization of fractional-order neural networks with time delays.

Abstract
This article investigates quasi-synchronization for a class of fractional-order delayed neural networks. By utilizing the properties of the Laplace transform, the Caputo derivative, and the Mittag–Leffler function, a new fractional-order differential inequality is introduced. Furthermore, an adaptive controller is designed, resulting in the [...] Read more.
This article investigates quasi-synchronization for a class of fractional-order delayed neural networks. By utilizing the properties of the Laplace transform, the Caputo derivative, and the Mittag–Leffler function, a new fractional-order differential inequality is introduced. Furthermore, an adaptive controller is designed, resulting in the derivation of an effective criterion to ensure the aforementioned synchronization. Finally, a numerical illustration is provided to demonstrate the validity of the presented theoretical findings. Full article
