Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Switched systems are a class of hybrid systems that involve interacting discrete-event and continuous-variable dynamics. They are important in applications in engine systems, cyber–physical systems, robotics, and traffic management, and have gained considerable interest in control theory, computer-aided verification, and artificial intelligence communities. This has resulted in a large and growing body of research work on a diverse array of issues, including stability analysis, tracking control, distributed control, and others.
At present, switched systems have made new progress in many new research directions but also face new challenges. For example, multi-agent systems (MASs) are one of the most important parts of artificial intelligence, which have a strong exploring value in many practical engineering applications. However, we found that there is little literature on switched nonlinear MASs with complicated dynamics, because designing the appropriate controllers and achieving the relevant objectives is quite difficult. Therefore, how to design a control strategy to solve the relevant control problems for switched nonlinear MASs is an interesting topic.
This Special Issue collects papers with the aim of uncovering and exploiting the latest research progress in switched systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: robust stabilization of switched systems (such as switched stochastic systems, switched cyber–physical systems and so on); stability/performance/robustness analysis of switched control systems; enhancing the controller’s reliability through event-triggered/hybrid-triggered techniques; optimization of reliable control design using machine learning algorithms.

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.
