Abstract
In this paper, we provide a circuit-theoretic analysis of linear frcational-order circuits based on the use of Tellegen's theorem. The advantages of the circuit-theoretic analysis over the more common control-theoretic one are illustrated with general theorems on the driving-point impedances and admittances of multi-type, fractional-order circuits made of an arbitrary, finite, connected mesh of fractional-order elements. The explicit use of Kirchoff's circuit laws lead to sharp results on the stability and resonant behavior of such networks. In particular, it results in more intuitive conditions on the range of fractional orders needed to guarantee their stable or resonant behavior.
