Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of aerospace engineering poses complex challenges that transcend traditional linear analysis and design methodologies. Aerospace systems inherently exhibit strong nonlinearity, driven by nonlinear control inputs and intricate environmental interactions. These factors critically impact system performance, stability, and safety, making advanced nonlinear techniques indispensable for advancing aerospace technology and ensuring reliable operation in extreme dynamic scenarios. This Special Issue showcases cutting-edge research on nonlinear aerospace techniques and their applications, highlighting innovative methodologies, theoretical breakthroughs, and engineering solutions to address inherent nonlinear challenges.
It covers diverse nonlinear theories, algorithms, and their integration into aerospace practices, spanning nonlinear dynamics analysis, control design, system optimization, and validation in real-world aerospace missions.
We look forward to receiving your interesting submissions.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Dynamics and stability analysis of aerospace systems;
- Advanced nonlinear control strategies for aerospace platforms;
- Optimization algorithms for aerospace design, trajectory planning, and mission scheduling;
- Estimation and state observation for aerospace systems under uncertainty;
- Multi-agent coordination for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite swarms;
- Experimental validation and engineering implementation of nonlinear aerospace techniques;
- Nonlinear fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control for aerospace systems;
- Space debris mitigation and orbital mechanics;
- Artificial intelligence for nonlinear aerospace applications.

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-anonymized 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.
