Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to the International Conference on Mathematical Analysis and Applications in Science and Engineering (ICMA2SC’20, https://www.isep.ipp.pt/Page/ViewPage/ICMASC). ICMA2SC’20 is a refereed conference emphasizing different topics of mathematical analysis and applications in science and engineering. This Special Issue will focus on dynamical systems taken in the broad sense; these include, in particular, iterative dynamics, ordinary differential equations, and (evolutionary) partial differential equations. We welcome papers dealing with these topics, either at a theoretical level or at a level of their multiple applications to physics (e.g., cosmology, quantum physics and matter theory, and thermodynamics), or yet as standard applications to control theory, artificial intelligence, diagnosis algorithms, and so on.

Entropy is an international journal enjoying a high Impact Factor, and definitely constitutes one of the most appropriate outlets for the publication of quality research in the topics mentioned above. Note that both original research works and outstanding review articles are called for in this Special Issue.

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 papers will be 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. Entropy 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 1600 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.

On Leader-Following Consensus in Multi-Agent Systems with Discrete Updates at Random Times
Entropy 2020, 22(6), 650; https://doi.org/10.3390/e22060650 - 12 Jun 2020
Abstract
This paper studies the leader-following consensus problem in continuous-time multi-agent networks with communications/updates occurring only at random times. The time between two consecutive controller updates is exponentially distributed. Some sufficient conditions are derived to design the control law that ensures the leader-following consensus [...] Read more.
This paper studies the leader-following consensus problem in continuous-time multi-agent networks with communications/updates occurring only at random times. The time between two consecutive controller updates is exponentially distributed. Some sufficient conditions are derived to design the control law that ensures the leader-following consensus is asymptotically reached (in the sense of the expected value of a stochastic process). The numerical examples are worked out to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results. Full article
