Dear Colleagues,

Control systems are playing essential roles in almost every aspect of our daily environment. The search for appropriate control designs or dynamics analysis methods for such a system often leads to solving symmetric or asymmetric problems. In dynamical systems, symmetry concepts have been used, e.g., to explain the onset of instability in feedback systems, to design observers and controllers, and to analyze synchronization properties and associated symmetry detection mechanisms. Typically, the symmetries of a physical system are preserved in the mathematical tools used to model it.

For this Special Issue, we invite specialists that are active in the field of control systems, including control theory, to submit their theoretical or experimental research.

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.
