FPGA realization of Caputo and Grünwald-Letnikov operators

This paper proposes a hardware platform implementation on FPGA for two fractional-order derivative operators. The Grünwald-Letnikov and Caputo definitions are realized for different fractional orders. The realization is based on non-uniform segmentation algorithm with a variable lookup table. A generic implementation for Grünwald-Letnikov is proposed and a 32 bit Fixed Point Booth multiplier radix

Fractional controllable multi-scroll V-shape attractor with parameters effect

This paper is an extension of V-shape multi-scroll butterfly attractor in the fractional-order domain. The system complexity is increased by the new dynamics introduced by the fractional operator which make it more suitable for random signal generator. The effect of system parameters on controlling the attractor shape is investigated and compared with the integer order attractor. Maximum Lyapunov

Comparative study of fractional filters for Alzheimer disease detection on MRI images

This paper presents a comparative study of four fractional order filters used for edge detection. The noise performance of these filters is analyzed upon the addition of random Gaussian noise, as well as the addition of salt and pepper noise. The peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of the detected images is numerically compared. The mean square error (MSE) of the detected images as well as the

Two-port two impedances fractional order oscillators

This paper presents a study for general fractional order oscillator based on two port network where two topologies of oscillator structure with two impedances are discussed. The two impedances are chosen to be fractional elements which give four combinations for each topology.
