Stability Analysis of Distributed-Order Hilfer–Prabhakar Systems Based on Inertia Theory

Abstract

The notion of a distributed-order Hilfer–Prabhakar derivative is introduced, which reduces in special cases to the existing notions of fractional or distributed-order derivatives. The stability of two classes of distributed-order Hilfer–Prabhakar differential equations, which are generalizations of all distributed or fractional differential equations considered previously, is analyzed. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of these systems are obtained by using properties of generalized Mittag-Leffler functions, the final-value theorem, and the Laplace transform. Stability conditions for such systems are introduced by using a new definition of the inertia of a matrix with respect to the distributed-order Hilfer–Prabhakar derivative.
