Fractional Processes and Fractional-Order Signal Processing: Techniques and Applications

by Hu Sheng, YangQuan Chen, TianShuang Qiu

Overview

Fractional processes are widely found in science, technology and engineering systems. In Fractional Processes and Fractional-order Signal Processing, some complex random signals, characterized by the presence of a heavy-tailed distribution or non-negligible dependence between distant observations (local and long memory), are introduced and examined from the ‘fractional’ perspective using simulation, fractional-order modeling and filtering and realization of fractional-order systems. These fractional-order signal processing (FOSP) techniques are based on fractional calculus, the fractional Fourier transform and fractional lower-order moments. Fractional Processes and Fractional-order Signal Processing:  presents fractional processes of fixed, variable and distributed order studied as the output of fractional-order differential systems;  introduces FOSP techniques and the fractional signals and fractional systems point of view;  details real-world-application examples of FOSP techniques to demonstrate their utility; and  provides important background material on Mittag–Leffler functions, the use of numerical inverse Laplace transform algorithms and supporting MATLAB® codes together with a helpful survey of relevant webpages. Readers will be able to use the techniques presented to re-examine their signals and signal-processing methods. This text offers an extended toolbox for complex signals from diverse fields in science and engineering. It will give academic researchers and practitioners a novel insight into the complex random signals characterized by fractional properties, and some powerful tools to analyze those signals.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

“The book presents the theory and applications of an interesting domain in the area of signal science and technology: fractional processes and fractional order signal processing. … The volume gives answers to several important questions related to fractional systems … . A collection of very useful MATLAB codes is gives together with a useful list of Web addresses. Finally, we think that the present volume will soon become a reference book in the area of fractional signal processing and systems.” (Dumitru Stanomir, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1245, 2012)
