Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonlinear dynamical systems arise widely in natural, engineering, and social sciences, including robotics, energy systems, transportation networks, biological processes, climate dynamics, and financial systems. Their complex behaviours, such as bifurcation, chaos, synchronization, and uncertainty, pose significant challenges for mathematical analysis, prediction, and control. Recent advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven methodologies provide powerful new tools for understanding and managing such systems. This Special Issue aims to bring together high-quality research on the mathematical foundations, analytical methods, and computational approaches for AI-driven nonlinear dynamical systems. Particular attention will be given to stability analysis, control design, learning-based modelling, data-driven prediction, reinforcement learning, neural-network-based control, physics-informed learning, Koopman operator methods, adaptive and robust control, complex networks, and multi-agent systems. The Special Issue welcomes both theoretical and applied contributions that develop rigorous mathematical frameworks, innovative algorithms, or practical solutions for nonlinear dynamical systems. By highlighting the interaction between artificial intelligence and nonlinear dynamics, this collection seeks to promote new insights, methods, and applications, and to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration among mathematicians, control theorists, engineers, computer scientists, and researchers working on complex 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 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-anonymized 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.
