Singular points in the solution trajectories of fractional order dynamical systems

Dynamical systems involving non-local derivative operators are of great importance in Mathematical analysis and applications. This article deals with the dynamics of fractional order systems involving Caputo derivatives. We take a review of the solutions of linear dynamical systems ${}_0^C\mathrm{D}_t^αX(t)=AX(t)$, where the coefficient matrix $A$ is in canonical form. We describe exact solutions for all the cases of canonical forms and sketch phase portraits of planar systems. We discuss the behavior of the trajectories when the eigenvalues $λ$ of $A$ are at the boundary of stable region i.e. $|arg(λ)|=\frac{απ}{2}$. Further, we discuss the existence of singular points in the trajectories of such systems in a region of $\mathbb{C}$ viz. Region II. It is conjectured that there exists singular point in the solution trajectories if and only if $λ\in$ Region II.
