This paper considers boundary control of time fractional order diffusion–wave equation. Both boundary stabilization and disturbance rejection are considered. This paper, for the first time, has confirmed, via hybrid symbolic and numerical simulation studies, that the existing two schemes for boundary stabilization and disturbance rejection for (integer order) wave/beam equations are still valid for time fractional order diffusion–wave equations. The problem definition, the hybrid symbolic and numerical simulation techniques, outlines of the methods for boundary stabilization and disturbance rejection are presented together with extensive simulation results. Different dynamic behaviors are revealed for different fractional orders which may stimulate new future research opportunities.
