Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the earliest days, humanity has sought tools to better understand real-world processes. While it is well known that most of these processes exhibit inherent time delays in their dynamics—sometimes perceptible, sometimes subtle—such delays are usually excluded from much of the research conducted by the scientific community. This omission is widespread across engineering, physical, biological, population, epidemiological, economic, chaotic, synchronized, coupled, and other systems.
In this context, studies that explicitly incorporate time delays can provide more complete and useful insights, enabling the development of tools that improve our ability to analyze and manipulate real-world processes. Novel analysis that advance understanding in this area are therefore of considerable interest to the scientific community.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to highlight recent and innovative advances in the modeling, identification, estimation, and control of time-delay systems, both theoretical and applied.

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.
