Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Mathematics titled "Recent Developments in Disturbance Rejection Control Theory and Applications". We invite you to submit your latest research in the disturbance rejection control field, such as papers on the latest theory analysis methods and their applications in engineering systems.
There are disturbances and uncertainties in the majority of engineering control systems, and they generally adversely affect the performances of closed-loop systems. Control design for nonlinear systems with disturbances is a hot topic in the control field. In recent years, disturbance rejection control has received considerable attention from researchers and engineers. In this field, many disturbance rejection control techniques have been developed by introducing new mathematical analysis tools, and the developed methods are used to handle the effects of various disturbances and system uncertainties, such as sliding-mode control, non-smooth control, H∞ control, output regulation, disturbance observer-based control, active disturbance rejection control, etc. These disturbance rejection control techniques provide many efficient solutions to improve the control performance of complex nonlinear systems, and many of them have also been used in the control of practical systems, such as mechatronic systems, flight control systems, power electric systems, mobile robots, industrial manipulators, and other engineering control systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Advanced disturbance rejection Strategies: Novel disturbance estimation method for more general disturbances, as well as new disturbance attenuation or compensation strategies;
- Stability Analysis: New techniques for the analysis of closed-loop system stability;
- Practical Applications: Implementations in mechatronic systems, flight control systems, power electric systems, mobile robots, and other nonlinear systems;
- Simulation Results: Studies showcasing simulation outcomes that validate new control approaches.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
