Introduction
The control of nonlinear systems with uncertainties and external disturbances is a challenging problem that has received significant attention in recent years. Fractional-order systems have been used in various applications [4]. Traditional integer-order control methods have been widely used to control nonlinear systems, but they often fail to provide satisfactory performance in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances. Fractional-order control, on the other hand, has emerged as a promising approach to control nonlinear systems due to its ability to capture the complex dynamics of the system.
The use of fractional-order derivatives and integrals provides an additional degree of freedom in the control design, allowing for more flexible and robust control strategies. Adaptive control is a popular approach to control nonlinear systems with uncertainties, where the controller parameters are adjusted online to adapt to the changing system dynamics. The fractional calculus has been applied to control systems [5]. However, traditional adaptive control methods often assume that the system dynamics are known or can be approximated by a linear model, which is not always the case in practice. Robust control is another approach to control nonlinear systems with uncertainties, where the controller is designed to be insensitive to uncertainties and disturbances. However, robust control methods often require a priori knowledge of the system dynamics and can be conservative in practice. To overcome these limitations, this article proposes a robust fractional-order adaptive control scheme for nonlinear uncertain plants with external disturbances. The stability of fractional-order systems has been studied extensively [6]. The proposed approach combines the benefits of fractional-order control, adaptive control, and robust control to achieve accurate tracking and robustness against uncertainties and disturbances. The stability of the closed-loop system is ensured through Lyapunov analysis, and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Analytical stability bounds for fractional-order systems have been derived [7]. The proposed control scheme is compared with traditional integer-order adaptive control methods, highlighting its superior performance. The simulation study considers a nonlinear plant with uncertain dynamics and external disturbances, showcasing the robustness of the proposed approach. The results indicate that the proposed control scheme can effectively handle uncertainties and disturbances, ensuring stable and accurate tracking performance. The proposed approach has potential applications in various fields, including robotics, process control, and power systems. The article concludes by highlighting the advantages and limitations of the proposed approach, providing insights for future research directions. Stability results for fractional-order systems have been presented [8]. The use of fractional-order control provides a new perspective on controlling nonlinear systems, and the proposed approach is expected to contribute to the development of more robust and efficient control systems.

The presence of uncertainties and disturbances can lead to instability and poor performance of the control system, highlighting the need for more robust and adaptive control strategies. Traditional integer-order control methods often fail to provide satisfactory performance in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances. Fractional-order control has emerged as a promising approach to control nonlinear systems and has been shown to be effective in controlling nonlinear systems with uncertainties and disturbances. However, the design of a robust adaptive fractional-order control system is a challenging problem, requiring a deep understanding of fractional calculus and nonlinear control theory. The problem is to design a robust adaptive fractional-order control system that can accurately track the desired trajectory in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances. The system should be able to adapt to changing system dynamics and mitigate the effects of disturbances. The control system should be robust to uncertainties and disturbances, ensuring stable and accurate tracking performance. The problem requires the development of a novel control strategy that combines the benefits of fractional-order control, adaptive control, and robust control.
Mathematical Approach
The proposed robust fractional-order adaptive control strategy is formulated to ensure accurate trajectory tracking for a nonlinear uncertain plant in the presence of modeling uncertainties and external disturbances. Fractional-order adaptive control has been applied to nonlinear systems [16]. The system dynamics are described by an unknown nonlinear function and an uncertain, state-dependent control gain, which makes classical integer-order control insufficient. To address this, the tracking error between the system state and the desired trajectory is defined, and its fractional-order derivative is incorporated using the Grünwald–Letnikov approximation, introducing memory effects that improve transient and steady-state behavior. The control law is constructed as a combination of three terms: an adaptive term to compensate unknown dynamics, a robust discontinuous term to suppress bounded disturbances, and a fractional-order error feedback term to enhance convergence. An online adaptive law updates the unknown parameter estimate using a gradient-based mechanism driven by the tracking error and system state. Lyapunov-based reasoning implies that the closed-loop system achieves boundedness of all signals and convergence of the tracking error to a small neighborhood of zero. The robust term guarantees disturbance rejection, while the adaptive mechanism reduces parametric uncertainty. The fractional-order component provides additional damping and smooth error evolution compared to integer-order designs. As a result, the overall control framework ensures stable, robust, and accurate tracking performance for nonlinear uncertain systems under external perturbations. The nonlinear uncertain plant is described by the fractional-order system:
Where, x(t) is the system state, f(x) represents unknown nonlinear dynamics, (g(x)>0) is an uncertain control gain, and d(t)d(t)d(t) is a bounded disturbance. The control objective is to ensure that the state x(t) tracks a desired reference.The tracking error is defined as:
To exploit the memory property of fractional calculus, a fractional-order derivative of the tracking error is introduced as:
Which is numerically approximated using the Grünwald–Letnikov definition. The robust fractional-order adaptive control law is designed as:
The adaptive update law is selected as:
Substituting the control law into the plant dynamics yields the closed-loop error system. Using a Lyapunov candidate function:
Consequently, all closed-loop signals remain bounded and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin, ensuring robust stability and accurate tracking performance.
