Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The complex interrelationship between symmetry and asymmetry in control theory is examined in this Special Issue. Control theory provides the mathematical and engineering foundations for analyzing, designing, and optimizing systems that govern dynamic processes in a variety of fields, ranging from mechanical and electrical systems to biological and social networks.
For controlled systems to be stable, robust, and effective, symmetry and asymmetry are essential. With this Special Issue, we aim to bring together a collection of research articles that investigate how symmetric structures can simplify system analysis and design, and how asymmetries can significantly influence system behavior.
The research scopes of this Special Issue are included in the following journal sections: mathematic, computer, and engineering end material. This Special Issue aims to investigate novel control techniques suited to symmetric and asymmetric dynamics, as well as their uses in robotics, distributed systems, and energy systems, among other fields. The Special Issue seeks to offer fresh perspectives and approaches that improve the flexibility, dependability, and effectiveness of contemporary control systems by emphasizing both theoretical and practical viewpoints.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Control design for disturbed systems;
- Optimal and intelligent control in disturbed systems;
- Adaptive and robust control under asymmetric uncertainties;
- Machine learning and AI approaches in control theory;
- Application of control in: Energy systems, robotics, mechatronics.

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.
