Analysis and Controls of Time-Delay Systems with Perturbations: Theory and Application

Dear Colleagues,

The field of time-delay systems with perturbations is receiving a lot of interest in terms of modeling and analysis of practical systems. Specifically, the main focus is on performance analysis and controller design of time-delay systems across many fields of science and engineering. To include the uncertain properties of systems, systems with perturbances are used to present the variations and nonlinearities. Instability and poor performance will be caused by those main factors.

The focus of this Special Issue is addressing recent progress in both theoretical and practical developments on topics relating to the analysis, design, implementation, and technology of time-delay systems with perturbations. Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to):

• Linear fractional perturbations;
• Switching signal designs and switched systems;
• Sampling and data-hold;
• Parallel distributed compensator and T–S fuzzy systems;
• Complex systems;
• Chaotic and hyperchaotic systems;
• Fractional-order dynamical systems;
• Networked control systems;
• Linear parameter varying systems;
• Mixed performances and controls;
• Fault diagnosis for time-delay systems;
• Case studies.
