2 under controller gain uncertainties. The uncertainties are of norm-bounded type. Based on the stability criterion of fractional order system, sufficient conditions on the decentralized stabilization of fractional order large-scale uncertain systems in both cases of additive and multiplicative gain perturbations are established by using the complex Lyapunov inequality. Moreover, the decentralized nonfragile controllers are designed. Finally, some numerical examples are given to validate the proposed method.

## 1. Introduction

In the past decades, a great deal of attention has been paid to the stability and stabilization of large-scale systems [1–7]. This is due to the fact that there exist a large number of large-scale interconnected dynamical systems in many practical physical systems, such as process control systems, computer communication networks, transportation systems, and economic systems. Meanwhile, nonfragile controllers have been nominated byresilient and the fragility of the PID controllers has been analyzed in [8]. The controller gain perturbations can commonly be modeled as uncertain gains which are dependent on uncertain parameters in the literature [9, 10]. The robust nonfragile control problem for uncertain integer order large-scale system has been studied [11–13]. In recent years, the nonfragile control problem has been an attractive topic in theory analysis and practical implement, because of perturbations often appearing in the controller gain, which may result in either the actuator degradations or the requirements for readjustment of controller gains. The problem of reliable dissipative control within nonfragile control framework has been investigated in [14, 15]. The nonfragile control idea is how to design a feedback control that will be insensitive to perturbations in gains of feedback control. The robust resilient stabilization problem is to design a nonfragile state feedback controller such that the uncertain fractional order large-scale interconnected closed-loop system with a commensurate order 1

α

2 is robustly stable for all admissible parameter uncertainties.On the other hand, pioneering works in stability analysis and stabilization of fractional order control systems can be found in [16–20]. The robust stability of fractional order interval systems has been investigated in [21, 22]. It is well known that Matignon’s stability theorem [16] is the basis for stability analysis of the fractional order system by checking the location of eigenvalues in the complex plane. Matignon’s theorem is in fact the pioneering works of stability analysis of the fractional order system. Based on Matignon’s theorem, the stability criteria of fractional order systems have been proposed in both cases of 1

1 in [23, 24]. The necessary and sufficient LMI conditions for stability analysis of a commensurate fractional order system have been established in [23, 24], in which complex Lyapunov inequality holds. However, very few studies provide LMI conditions for the stability analysis of the fractional order large-scale interconnected system in the literature. Our study is mainly motivated by the works [23, 24]. The important feature is that the proposed method can be implemented to the fractional order large-scale interconnected system. The objective of the paper is to design a nonfragile controller which is robust to system uncertainties and resilient to controller gain variations for the fractional order large-scale interconnected systems with a commensurate order 1

1. This paper is organized as follows. Some preliminaries and the problem statement are given in Section 2. The main results of the sufficient condition of stabilization of the fractional order system under additive gain perturbations are presented in Section 3. Furthermore, the decentralized stabilization state feedback controller are designed. Meanwhile, the LMI results of the sufficient condition of stabilization of the fractional order system under multiplicative gain perturbations are presented in Section 4. The examples are given in Section 5 to illustrate the effectiveness of our LMI-based results for checking the stabilization of the fractional order large-scale interconnected system. Finally, a brief conclusion is drawn in Section 6.Notations. Throughout the paper, we denote by r

## 3. Nonfragile Controller Design of Fractional Order Large-Scale System with Additive Gain Perturbations

In this section, the resilient controller synthesis problem is formulated for the fractional order large-scale interconnected system under additive gain perturbations. Sufficient conditions are firstly derived for the decentralized stabilization of fractional order large-scale interconnected system with norm-bounded uncertainties given by (1). Before proceeding further, we will state the following well-known lemmas. We will use the lemmas and theorems to establish sufficient conditions on decentralized stabilization of fractional order large-scale interconnected system with norm-bounded uncertainties under additive gain perturbations.Lemma 3 (see [27]).

The idea is mainly based on the geometric analysis of a fractional system stability domain. Based on Lemma5, the stability domain for a fractional order 1

This completes the proof.Therefore, the sufficient condition for decentralized robust stabilization of fractional order large-scale interconnected system with norm-bounded uncertainties under additive gain perturbations is derived. Furthermore, this condition is transformed into the solvability problem of linear matrix inequalities. In summary, by solving the LMI (18), we derive the sufficient condition on stabilizability via decentralized state feedback of the fractional order uncertain system with order 1

This completes the proof.Therefore, the sufficient condition for decentralized robust stabilization of fractional order large-scale interconnected system with norm-bounded uncertainties under multiplicative gain perturbations is obtained. Furthermore, this condition is transformed into the solvability problem of linear matrix inequalities. In summary, by solving the LMI (27), we derive the sufficient conditions on stabilizability via decentralized state feedback of the uncertain fractional order system under multiplicative gain perturbations.


## 5. Numerical Examples

In this section, to verify and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, two numerical examples are investigated. The fractional order large-scale interconnected uncertain system under controller gain perturbations is stabilized by the decentralized state feedback controllers. The Adams-type predictor-corrector method [29] is used for the numerical solution of fractional differential equations during the simulation.Example 1.
Consider the stabilization problem of fractional order large-scale interconnected uncertain system under additive gain perturbations:(33)

The time responses of system are shown in Figure 1. It is observed that its four states all converge to zero. It can be concluded that fractional order large-scale interconnected system with additive gain perturbations can be stabilized by the nonfragile controller.Figure 1

## 6. Conclusions

In this paper, sufficient conditions have been derived on the stabilization of fractional order large-scale interconnected uncertain system with a commensurate order1

2 under two kinds of controller gain perturbations, that is, additive and multiplicative gain perturbations. The proposed method is based on the stability criterion of fractional order system by using the complex Lyapunov inequality. Moreover, the nonfragile controllers are designed. Simulation results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
