Jesus, Isabel S.Tenreiro Machado, J. A.2019-04-082009-09http://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/13473In this paper we study the control of a heat diffusion system based on the application of the fractional calculus concepts. In this perspective, several algorithms are investigated and compared, when integrated within a Smith predictor structure. Simulations are presented assessing the performance of the proposed fractional algorithms.engAlgorithmsThermal diffusionconference object10.1115/DETC2009-87019
