Hybrid Symbolic and Numerical Simulation Studies of Time-fractional Order

Matlab code to duplicate all figures in the paper, self-containing.

Boundary control of time-fractional order diffusion-wave systems is becoming an active research area. However, there is no readily available simulation tool till now for researchers to analyze and design controllers. In this paper, a simulation method for some typical boundary control problems, combining symbolic mathematics and numerical method, is presented with two application examples. In the intermediate steps of the simulation, an important by-product, the transfer function of the controlled system, can be obtained, which makes the design of more advanced boundary controllers possible and much easier.

Type "fig1" will get fig1 in the paper.
