AbstractPositive descriptor fractional discrete-time linear systems with fractional different orders are addressed in the paper. The decomposition of the regular pencil is used to extend necessary and sufficient conditions for positivity of the descriptor fractional discrete-time linear system with different fractional orders. A method for finding the decentralized controller for the class of positive systems is proposed and its effectiveness is demonstrated on a numerical example.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the pointwise completeness and the pointwise degeneracy of linear discrete-time different fractional order systems are established. It is shown that if the fractional system is pointwise complete in one step (q = 1), then it is also pointwise complete for q = 2, 3…
