E2: Control Theory and Mechanics
A section of Mathematics (ISSN 2227-7390).
Section Information
“Control Theory and Mechanics” is a sub-section of the “Applied Mathematics” Section of the open access and peer-reviewed journal Mathematics, which publishes advanced studies and applications of engineering research using mathematical and computational tools.
The primary aim of “Control Theory and Mechanics” is the publication and dissemination of relevant mathematical and computational works with importance to applied mathematics and, in particular, in engineering fields, but is not limited to those.
“Control Theory and Mechanics" refers to the interdisciplinary study of dynamical systems and their behaviors, combining elements from control theory and mechanics, but not limited to mechanical systems, to manage and influence physical systems effectively. Essentially, it is about creating dynamical systems that can sense their environments, make decisions, and control physical actions effectively.
“Control Theory and Mechanics“ is an expanding discipline, spanning many distinct boundaries with applications in interdisciplinary and wide-ranging present-day professional careers. “Control Theory and Mechanics” is motivated by engineering, physics, and mathematics‘ needs for theoretical and real-world applications in both industrial and research activities.
In fact, “Control Theory and Mechanics“ is an interdisciplinary field that studies dynamical systems and groups of interrelated components working together as a whole. It aims to understand how systems function, interact, and evolve over time to be controlled. A controlled dyanamical system can be anything, not only in the field of mechanics, from a biological organism to a business organization, an ecosystem, or even a computer network.
Therefore, all fields of applied mathematics and, in particular, of engineering and related applied sciences are within the scope of this Section, which also focuses on their methodological and theoretical aspects. Areas of engineering with particular focus on applied mathematics, such as aerospace, atmospheric, automotive, chemical, computer, control, electrical, geophysical, industrial, informatics, manufacturing, mechanical, ocean, production, systems, and transportation, are of interest. In addition, mathematical and computational works of interest include, but are not limited to, acoustics, aero- and hydrodynamics, bioengineering, biomedical and biomathematics, complex systems, economy and financial engineering, fluid dynamics and turbulence, fractional dynamics, fracture mechanics, nano-engineering, numerical algorithms and computational methods, optics, robotics and mechatronics, variational methods, or wave propagation and diffusion.
