Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the core of systems science and engineering practice, control theory has evolved from classical cybernetics to modern state-space methods, continuously driving industrial innovation and technological progress. Since the foundation of classical control theory in the 20th century, its research scope has expanded from single-input, single-output systems to multi-variable, nonlinear, and networked complex systems. Moreover, it has given rise to important branches such as robust control, adaptive control, and model-predictive control.
In recent years, with the deep integration of artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things, interdisciplinary research between control theory and emerging technologies has become a hot topic. For example, data-driven control, distributed cooperative control, and intelligent control methods based on deep learning have provided new paradigms for solving difficult problems such as high-dimensional uncertain systems and the collaborative cooperation of intelligent agent swarms. Therefore, we are publishing this Special Issue in order to collect the latest research advances regarding control within nonlinear systems and popular fields.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but not limited to, the following:
- Chaos-control algorithms for mechanical, electrical, electronic, chemical, and other systems.
- Applications of fractional-order/stochastic differential equations in nonlinear control.
- Design of control algorithms for high-dimensional systems/neural networks.
- Cooperative control of multi-agent systems and optimization of swarm intelligence.
- Challenges and applications of intelligent control in the field of new energy
- Optimization and planning of control algorithms in complex systems.
- Security control of cyber–physical systems under cyber attacks.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
