Symmetries in Dynamical Systems and Control Theory

Dear Colleagues,

Symmetry in dynamical systems and control theory plays a significant role in system modeling, analysis, and control design. Symmetry assists in identifying and elucidating the system’s fundamental structure while simplifying dynamic analysis, thereby facilitating the design of efficient and resilient controllers. In recent years, with the improvement of mathematical tools and computing power, significant progress has been made in the application research of symmetry in complex dynamical systems, nonlinear control, multi-agent systems, robotics and network systems. This progress can be attributed to improvements in mathematical tools and computing power. This Special Issue aims to gather the latest theoretical achievements and engineering applications related to symmetry in power systems and control theory. We welcome and cordially invite you to engage in discourse on symmetry theory, dynamic analysis methods, symmetry-preserving control, and the utilization of symmetry in robot systems in power systems and control. Original research submissions in areas such as bifurcation and pattern formation under symmetric structures, Lie group and Lie algebra methods, and innovative applications of the combination of artificial intelligence and symmetry are required to promote theoretical innovation and cross-integration in this field.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
