Stability conditions for fractional-order linear equations with delays

The problem of stability of the Gr¨unwald-Letnikov-type linear fractional-order discrete-time systems with delays is discussed. For the stability analysis of the considered systems the Z -transform is used. The sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the considered systems are presented. Using conditions related to eigenvalues of the matrices defining the linear difference systems, one can determine the regions of location of eigenvalues of matrices associated to the systems in order to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the considered systems. Some of these regions are illustrated with relevant examples.
