Guest Editorial Introduction to the Special Section on Nonlinear Fractional-Order Circuits and Systems: Advanced Analysis and Effective Implementation

Nowadays, fractional order differential operators, as a generalization for classical differential operators, have established their key-role in modeling, analysis, and implementation of specific circuits and systems in which one typically faces nonlinear behaviors. It enforces to exploit analysis and implementation methods covering simultaneously “fractionality” and “nonlinearity” aspects. This special section, entitled “Nonlinear Fractional Order Circuits and Systems: Advanced Analysis and Effective Implementation,” aims at introducing some of these methods.
