Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many practical dynamic behaviors in the engineering field can be abstracted into fractional-order systems using fractional calculus with the unique properties of heredity and memory, e.g., gyro systems, viscoelastic systems, and many others. As an important concept in control theory, robust control focuses on stabilizing linear and nonlinear systems under modeling errors and external disturbances. Although the robust control of integer-order systems has achieved great success, the unique operational nature of fractional calculus limits the development of robust control theory for fractional-order systems. Meanwhile, adaptive control refers to a control methodology that deals with system uncertainty by adjusting certain online parameter estimates. This is an interesting way of dealing with uncertainty so that the designed controllers will usually have strong adaptation. Thus, it is expected that fractional-order systems will yield more robust and adaptive control methods.
This Special Issue pays attention to the modeling, stability analysis, robust control, adaptive control, and application of fractional-order systems. Potential topics for which submissions are encouraged include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Modeling and simulation of fractional-order systems;
- Dynamics and stability analysis of fractional-order systems;
- Robust control of fractional-order systems;
- Adaptive control of fractional-order systems;
- Fractional-order neural networks and fuzzy systems;
- Applications of fractional-order control methods;
- Fuzzy and neural network control of fractional-order systems;
- Composite learning control of fractional-order systems;
- Adaptive synchronization of fractional-order systems.

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. Fractal and Fractional 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 2700 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.
