The paper presents the fundamental theory of the Laplace-domain logarithmic operator and related operators. It is motivated by the appearance of logarithmic operators in a variety of fractional-order systems and order-distributions. Included is the development of a system theory for Laplace-domain logarithmic operator systems which includes time-domain representations frequency domain representations frequency response analysis time response analysis and stability theory. Approximation methods are included. Keywords Order-distribution Laplace transform Fractional-order systems Fractional calculus Introduction The area of mathematics known as fractional calculus has been studied for over 300 years 1 . Fractional-order systems or systems described using fractional derivatives and integrals have been studied by many in the engineering area 2-9 . Additionally very readable discussions devoted to the mathematics of the subject are presented by Oldham and Spanier 1 Miller and Ross 10 Oustaloup 11 and Podlubny 12 . It should be noted that there are a growing number of physical systems whose behavior can be compactly described using fractional-order system theory. Specific applications are viscoelastic materials 13-16 electrochemical processes 17 18 long lines 5 dielectric polarization 19 colored noise 20 soil
