The utilization of fractional calculus shows its benefits in mathematical modelling and control of systems stemming from various areas. Within this training school, the trainees are made aware about the possibilities of using fractional-order differential equations in mechatronics and image signal processing. Attention is also paid to fractional control theory and to fractional backward stochastic differential equations.
Within this Traingin School, the Trainees will be made aware about mathematics of fractional calculus in general, followed by selected engineering areas employing fractional-order calculus in system modelling, signal processing and control theory.
