Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the growing interest in high-precision control, the utilization of the advanced nonlinear control technique is generally required in the controller design. Finite-time control (FTC) causes not only a fast response with high control accuracy but also a strong robustness to uncertainties and/or disturbances in the closed-loop system. For decades, it has been a vibrant research area with potential applications; however, there are still some ongoing issues in the research on FTC, such as finite-time stabilization control for general nonlinear systems, singularity phenomena in sliding mode systems with finite-time convergence, finite-time disturbance observer design, finite-time disturbance rejection control, etc. Moreover, the FTC for practical systems, especially for real-world experiment studies, has fallen behind the theoretical developments. Therefore, we propose this Special Issue to showcase and discuss new advances in FTC, both in fundamentals and in applications.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- New tools/developments for finite-time control theory;
- Finite-time control, observer and/or output feedback;
- Finite-time state/parameter/ disturbance estimation;
- Finite-time control with sampled-data design/ constrained design;
- Finite-time control for robot systems/mechatronic systems ;
- Applications of finite-time disturbance rejection control.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Actuators is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
