Lebesgue‐p NORM Convergence OF Fractional‐Order PID‐Type Iterative Learning Control for Linear Systems

This paper discusses first‐ and second‐order fractional‐order PID‐type iterative learning control strategies for a class of Caputo‐type fractional‐order linear time‐invariant system. First, the additivity of the fractional‐order derivative operators is exploited by the property of Laplace transform of the convolution integral, whilst the absolute convergence of the Mittag‐Leffler function on the infinite time interval is induced and some properties of the state transmit function of the fractional‐order system are achieved via the Gamma and Bata function characteristics. Second, by using the above properties and the generalized Young inequality of the convolution integral, the monotone convergence of the developed first‐order learning strategy is analyzed and the monotone convergence of the second‐order learning scheme is derived after finite iterations, when the tracking errors are assessed in the form of the Lebesgue‐p norm. The resultant convergences exhibit that not only the fractional‐order system input and output matrices and the fractional‐order derivative learning gain, but also the system state matrix and the proportional learning gain, and fractional‐order integral learning gain dominate the convergence. Numerical simulations illustrate the validity and the effectiveness of the results.
