Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Advanced Mathematical Methods for Networked System Control and Synchronization", will investigate the latest mathematical techniques aimed at enhancing the control and synchronization of complex, interconnected systems. It covers a broad range of topics, ranging from stability and controllability in dynamic networks to synchronization across various systems, including cyber–physical and biological networks. Practical applications will also be explored in areas such as power grids, autonomous vehicles, communication networks, robotic swarms, sensor networks, and distributed computing systems, aiming to solve real-world challenges related to robustness, adaptability, and scalability. Contributions focus on mathematical tools like differential equations, Lyapunov functions, consensus algorithms, optimization algorithms, graph theory, game theory, and nonlinear control theory to ensure the efficient, reliable, and synchronized operation of interconnected systems across diverse domains.

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. 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.
