Explicit solutions and finite-time stability for fractional delay systems

Abstract

Finite-time stability and explicit solutions are considered for nonhomogeneous fractional systems with pure delay. First, explicit solutions are obtained by using new delayed Mittag-Leffler-type matrix functions. Second, the finite-time stability results are obtained by utilizing these explicit solutions and the norm estimate of these delayed Mittag-Leffler-type matrix functions. The results improve, extend, and complement the previous works. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the importance of the results.
