Recent Results in Fractional-Order Modeling in Multi-Agent Systems and Linear Friction Welding

Abstract

This abstract outlines recent results in two new applications for fractional-order modeling of engineering systems. First, fractional-order dynamics present in two types of multiagent systems are discussed; namely, a specific tree graph structure for a robotic formation control problem and fractional-order dynamics of a scale-free network of agents. Second, fractional-order dynamics present in modeling of the linear friction welding process are discussed.
