1 Introduction

Fractional differential equations provide the outstanding device for account of remem- brance and heritable characteristics of numerous complex systems. Fractional derivatives like Caputo derivative, Riemann–Liouville derivative have their individual advantages and disadvantages. The Riemann–Liouville derivative cannot be used in the situation when the particular function is differentiable. In that case, the Caputo derivative can be used to solve the differential equation. The research related to fractional-order derivatives is well established and absolutely adequate in many different applications [1,11, 15, 16, 26, 28]. Time delay occurs in the system subject to different causes such as communication delay, energy conversation, etc. The appearance of time delay in system state, measurement or control input is an unavoidable one in several practical systems [6, 7, 35, 36]. It is the main cause for instability of the system. Time delay is one of the most analysed phenomena of control systems and in control process, which may cause the degradation of the controller performance. Consequently, much attention has been paid on stability research of dynamical systems involving time delay [13, 14, 19, 30].

Stability criteria are classified into several types such as asymptotic stability, expo- nential stability, globally exponential stability, FTS and so on. In FTS, the considered system’s state tends to zero in a finite time. But in other types of stability, the convergence time is sufficiently large. In the literature, numerous reports have been established on the asymptotic stability, which concerns the behaviours of state variable over an infinite time interval [25]. The main disadvantage of the asymptotic stability behaviour is that the large value of state variable may exist for the duration of transient period. The occurrence of large values should not go beyond its limit in several practical systems. Therefore, FTS concept has been introduced and concentrating on the behaviour of state variables for the duration of momentary time, which must not beyond the definite value, while the initial condition’s upper bound is specified [2]. So, the researchers developed the FTS criteria [3, 10, 22, 33] and established several results by using Gronwall inequalities, Holder inequalities and inequality scaling skills [17, 32, 34].

Gronwall-type inequalities play an essential role in the analysis of behaviour of solu- tion of differential equations as well as integral equations. Also, these types of inequalities used to model the engineering and applied science problems. The Gronwall inequal- ity is also known as Gronwall–Bellman inequality, which bounds the solution of given fractional system. Due to this application, many researchers followed this inequality to analyze the existence of solution, stability related problems, oscillation and also to check boundedness property of the given system. So, recently this inequality gets much attention of many researchers [23,27].

Sufficient condition of FTS analysis for a class of fractional system with time delay has been derived by utilizing the Bellman–Gronwall’s approach in [17]. FTS of fractional delay systems has been investigated in [8,9, 20]. The FTS concept for the fractional- order delay system with two parameter Mittag-Leffler matrix function is presented in [21]. In [31], the authors examined FTS of considered fractional system involving discrete time delay. FTS of discrete fractional delay system examined by utilizing Gronwall’s inequality approach in [32]. In [29], existence results for fractional-order damped systems are studied by using Holder and Gronwall inequalities.

Many authors have investigated the controllability of damped system [4] and the controllability of fractional-order damped system [5,12], but not yet studied the stability analysis for multiterm fractional-order damped system. FTS of multiterm fractional-order damped dynamical system involving time delay has been studied. The key notions can be highlighted below:

• Analyzing FTS concept, some difficulties have been occurred to bound the solution of the considered system. To overcome this difficulty, we use the extended form of generalized Gronwall inequality.

• Many of the previous results on fractional systems are reported without damping effect. It is more essential to study the FTS of fractional system with damping behaviou

• So, it is crucial to pay attention to check the FTS of linear nonautonomous multiterm fractional damped time delay system with order , which is examined by using extended form of generalized Gronwall’s inequality.

• Further, we deduce the results to linear autonomous systems.

• The formulated stability conditions can be easily validated through two numerical examples.

The structure of the paper is outlined as follows. Problem description with necessary facts and lemmas are given in the following section. Section 3 provides the stability cri- teria for considered linear nonautonomous system and also some deduction from derived results. Section 4 contains two numerical examples, which shows the validity of obtained results. Conclusion is drawn in Section 5.

5 Conclusion

The analysis related to stability is studied for many fractional systems using the Lyapunov method and Gronwall inequality over the finite and infinite interval of time. So, it is important to discuss the FTS for fractional systems with damping behaviour. This work concerned with the FTS of multiterm time-delayed fractional-order system with . For this, we obtained some inequalities with the help of Gronwall’s inequality and its extended form, which proved our FTS results. At last, the obtained results are verified through examples. Moreover, the results derived in this work can be also extended to stochastic cases with various behaviours like impulses, delay in multi states and so on.
