Abstract: In this paper, the conditions that lead to a system output remaining at zero with zero input are considered. It is shown that the initialization of fractional-order integrators plays a key ...

Abstract: It has been known that the initialization of fractional operators requires time-varying functions, a complicating factor. This paper simplifies the process of initialization of fractional differential ...

Abstract: This paper reviews some properties of the gamma function, particularly the incomplete gamma function and its complement, as a function of the Laplace variable s. The utility of these functions ...
