STABILITY PRESERVATION ANALYSIS FOR FREQUENCY-BASED METHODS IN NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF FRACTIONAL ORDER SYSTEMS.

In this paper, the frequency domain-based numerical methods for simulation of fractional order systems are studied in the sense of stability preservation. First, the stability boundary curve is exactly determined for these methods. Then, this boundary is analyzed and compared with an accurate (ideal) boundary in different frequency ranges. Also, the critical regions in which the stability does not preserve are determined. Finally, the analytical achievements are confirmed via some numerical illustrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
