Abstract

In recent years, it has been remarkable to see the increasing number of studies related to the theory and application of fractional-order controllers, especially PIDμ controllers, in many areas of science and engineering. Research activities are focused on developing new analysis and design methods to ensure robustness in new or classical control problems. In this paper, we investigate switching systems. A frequency-domain design method is developed for switching systems for both integer- or fractional-order controllers, taking into account specifications regarding performance and robustness and ensuring the quadratic stability of the controlled system. Some examples are given to show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed tuning method.
