Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled ‘Applications of Algebra, Geometry, and Optimization to Control Theory, 2nd Edition’, which aims to investigate the overlap between algebra, geometry, analysis, and control theory, as well as their applications.
Control theory is a powerful tool that can be used to solve complex problems in many different areas, including engineering, robotics, economics, and biology, among others. Algebra, geometry, and optimization provide powerful mathematical tools for advancing control theory and addressing complex control problems.
This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers to present their innovative work that applies algebraic, geometric, and optimization techniques to control theory, including, but not limited to, topics such as geometric control, which involves the use of differential geometry and geometric methods to analyze control systems, and algebraic control systems, which use algebraic techniques to study optimized control systems. We welcome both theoretical and applied contributions that demonstrate the practical significance and potential impact of these mathematical techniques in the design, analysis, and optimization of control systems.
Possible topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Algebraic approaches to system identification and parameter estimation in control systems.
- Geometric control theory and its applications in robotics and autonomous systems.
- Optimization techniques for optimal control, model predictive control, and robust control.
- Algebraic and geometric methods for stability analysis and control synthesis.
- Algebraic and geometric aspects of nonlinear control systems.
- Optimization-based control strategies for networked and distributed control systems.
- Control theory applications in aerospace, energy systems, and industrial processes.
We encourage researchers to submit original research articles, reviews, or survey papers that highlight the integration of algebra, geometry, and optimization into control theory applications. The Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote advancements in control theory through the synergy of these mathematical disciplines.
Submission Guidelines:
Manuscripts should be prepared according to the journal's guidelines and submitted through the online submission system. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality and relevance of the published articles.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and showcasing the latest advancements in the application of algebra, geometry, and optimization to control theory. Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact the Guest Editors or the editorial office.
