Recent Advances in Complex Dynamical Systems via Intelligent Control Approach

Dear Colleagues,

Many realistic systems can be modeled using dynamical equations. Increasing system performance requirements need to deal with the increasingly complicated dynamical systems used to simulate reality in control system analysis and design. Nonlinearity, uncertainty, time delay, system singularity, stochastic effects, the presence of linkages, and other factors contribute to the complexity. Technological and control theory advancements have made it possible to analyze complicated dynamical systems. Complex systems research is becoming increasingly essential, providing an additional push for the development of novel approaches and abilities for complex control systems. It has been applied widely in many complex fields, for example in missile guidance systems, active vehicle suspension systems, automobile control systems, etc. Due to their theoretical and practical significance, complex dynamical systems have long been and will continue to be one of the most active research areas. Although there have been many interesting publications on complex dynamical systems in recent years, there remain many challenging open issues. This provides the motivation for this Special Issue.

One of the main goals of this Special Issue is to bring together the latest innovative knowledge, analysis, and modeling techniques of control problems in dynamical networks. We accept both original research and review articles, and papers must contain unique theory or design material. The Special Issue focuses on recent achievements and applications in the field of complex system control and analysis, with particular emphasis on how to solve various control and observer design problems for nonlinear and interconnected systems. The systems under consideration typically have at least two functions: nonlinearity, faults, time delays, disturbance/uncertainty, interconnections between subsystems, stochastic processes, system singularities, and comparisons between simulations and experiments. The Special Issue focuses on the results of theoretical research and practical applications, with a focus on new methodologies for analysis, design, synthesis, and/or applications. Interconnected/networked systems, variable structure control, singular system control, time delay systems, fuzzy control and impulsive control, robust observer design and parameter identification, fault detection and fault-tolerant control, analysis and control of stochastic systems, and applications of advanced control systems are among the topics covered in this Special Issue.
