Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Generally, nonlinear systems display complex dynamic behavior such as steady state multiplicity, singularities, instabilities, bifurcations, and complex oscillations. In fact, scientific interest in the study, modeling, and analysis of nonlinear systems with complex behaviors has attracted a lot of attention, and the applications have been growing considerably. There are several conditions that may affect the nonlinear dynamics, for instance, disturbances, singular input perturbations, initial conditions, and time delays. Nowadays, the theoretical results of systems with nonlinear complex dynamic behaviors have led to important technological applications. In particular, the analysis techniques of nonlinear dynamics, such as chaotic systems, have had important advances in process engineering, image cryptography, synchronization, stabilization, chaos suppression, secure data transmission, life science, information processing, etc.
Control theory has been seeking advanced techniques to achieve high performance in the closed-loop operation of systems, networks, processes, and so on. In fact, there are a wide variety of control structures that have been designed and applied with success such as sliding mode, adaptative, fuzzy logic, observer-based, neural networks, and metaheuristic methods.
Hence, in this Special Issue, we aim to present the developments related to modern trends in nonlinear dynamics and control theory.

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.
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.
