FOMCON: Fractional-order modeling and control toolbox for MATLAB

Abstract

FOMCON is a new fractional-order modeling and control toolbox for MATLAB. It offers a set of tools for researchers in the field of fractional-order control. In this paper we present all the major modules comprising the toolbox and discuss the corresponding mathematical concepts. Fractional-order system analysis, identification and fractional PID controller design, tuning and optimization in the context of the toolbox are presented and discussed.
