Fractional-order systems have lately been attracting significant attention and gaining more acceptance as generalization to classical integer-order systems. Mathematical basics of fractional-order calculus were laid nearly 300 years ago and since that it has gained deeply rooted mathematical concepts. Today, it is known that many real dynamic systems cannot be described by a system of simple differential equation or of integer-order system. In practice we can encounter such systems in electronics, signal processing, thermodynamics, biology, medicine, control theory, etc. The Action will favor scientific advancement in above mentioned areas by coordinating activities of academic research groups towards an efficient deployment of fractal theory to industry applications. The cooperation of researchers from different institutions will guarantee wide visibility of Action results.

Project results

In the scope of this project, many successful collaborations have taken place between Tallinn University of Technology's Fractional-order Modeling and Control research group and other institutions working on the same problems. As a result, many quality research papers were published. From the project's perspective, the goals set forth in the project have been fulfilled as evident from high-quality research output and successful knowledge transfer to industrial partners.
