A graphical interpretation of a fractional-order backward-difference/Sum

摘要

In this paper an attempt to formulate a graphical interpretation of a fractional-order backward difference/sum (FOBD/S) is presented. The FOBD/S is a very important mathematical tool in dynamical systems identification and control strategies synthesis. A good understanding of the FOBD/S operation may lead to a definition of new performance indices grounded on FOBSs preserving desired transients.
