Advanced Control of Complex Dynamical Systems with Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Complex dynamical systems, which consist of multiple subsystems with intricate interactions, are pervasive across various fields such as engineering, chemistry, biology, and physics. Studying the control and analysis of complex systems has become increasingly important due to several factors. Firstly, it allows us to understand emergent behavior, where collective patterns arise from individual interactions. Secondly, it helps optimize system efficiency in fields like engineering. Additionally, it aids in managing and mitigating the challenges associated with system complexity. Furthermore, it enables us to predict and prevent system failures and design resilient systems capable of adapting and maintaining functionality. Overall, the study of complex systems offers insights and strategies with broad implications across diverse domains, leading to advancements in technology, science, and decision-making processes.

With this in mind, we are pleased to announce a Special Issue that aims to explore and showcase cutting-edge developments in the analysis and control of complex dynamical systems and their practical applications. We are particularly interested in articles that enhance our understanding of the observed phenomena in these systems through comprehensive analytic advancements, numerical simulations, and experimental testing.

We invite high-quality contributions encompassing original research results as well as survey articles in the following fields:

• Hybrid systems;
• Multi-agent systems;
• Diagnosis and prognosis of complex systems;
• Nonlinear dynamics and chaos;
• Time-delay systems;
• Autonomous, non-autonomous, and piecewise-smooth dynamical systems;
• Passivity-based control;
• Adaptive control;
• Robust control;
• Neural networks.

By bringing together diverse perspectives and insights, this Special Issue aims to foster collaboration and contribute to the collective knowledge in the analysis and control of complex dynamical systems. We look forward to your valuable contributions and the advancement of this exciting field.

Best regards,

Dr. Belem Saldivar
