Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in an ambient space. Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum. Dynamical systems arise in various fields, including physics, mechanics, and almost all engineering areas. For these systems, mathematical modeling and simulation are required. Several mathematical tools play a crucial role in understanding system behaviors. Analyzing a dynamical system involves examining how it evolves over time, typically through the study of its phase space, fixed points, and trajectory types, with particular attention to chaotic solutions.
In this context, this Special Issue aims to collect state-of-the-art research contributions on the modeling, simulation, stability, bifurcation, and chaos in dynamical systems.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Chaos, bifurcations, and stability analysis of discrete mappings;
- Control and synchronization of discrete mappings;
- Chaos, bifurcations, and stability analysis of continuous-time systems;
- Control and synchronization of continuous-time systems.

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.
