Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Symmetry is pleased to introduce a Special Issue on the theories and applications related to symmetry/asymmetry. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight papers that address the dynamics, control, optimization, and applications of nonlinear systems. This has recently become an increasingly popular subject, with an impressive growth concerning applications in engineering, economics, biology, and medicine, and can be considered a veritable contribution to the literature. Original papers that share this objective are especially welcome.

This paper analyzes classical and quantum physical systems from an optimal control perspective. Specifically, we explore whether their associated dynamics can correspond to an open- or closed-loop feedback evolution of a control problem. Firstly, for the classical regime, when it is viewed in terms of the theory of canonical transformations, we find that a closed-loop feedback problem can describe it. Secondly, for a quantum physical system, if one realizes that the Heisenberg commutation relations themselves can be considered constraints in a non-commutative space, then the momentum must depend on the position of any generic wave function. That implies the existence of a closed-loop strategy for the quantum case. Thus, closed-loop feedback is a natural phenomenon in the physical world. By way of completeness, we briefly review control theory and the classical mechanics of constrained systems and analyze some examples at the classical and quantum levels. Full article

Abstract
In this work, we consider a Timoshenko-type system in a bounded one-dimensional domain under Dirichlet conditions with time-varying delay and internal friction damping acting in the displacement. First, we show that the system is well-posed using semi-group theory. Then, under appropriate assumptions on [...] Read more.
In this work, we consider a Timoshenko-type system in a bounded one-dimensional domain under Dirichlet conditions with time-varying delay and internal friction damping acting in the displacement. First, we show that the system is well-posed using semi-group theory. Then, under appropriate assumptions on the weights of the delay, the stability of system is obtained via a suitable Lyapunov functional. Full article

This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of a new control technique for the sphere motor system, aimed at achieving accurate tracking, robust and dispersion of vibrations. Control methods include the determination of a nonlinear model and the application of feedback linearization, followed by the optimization of the proportional derivative (PD) coefficients through the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System. In addition, the system’s reaction to harsh environments is managed using Long Short-Term Memory. In order to gain a deeper understanding, symmetrical environmental disturbances and trajectories are introduced during the testing phase. The results demonstrate the superior performance of the control strategy, with reduced vibrations, faster recovery and confirmed tracking accuracy. In addition, the control method shows its adaptability and reliability, as evidenced by the significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared to conventional PD control methods. The use of symmetric trajectories and visualizations further emphasizes the behavior of the system under symmetric conditions, strengthening the effectiveness and applicability of the control strategy in real-world scenarios. Overall, this study presents a promising solution for converting complex systems under different conditions and making them potentially applicable in various industrial contexts. Full article

The impact of neutrosophy has increased rapidly in many areas of science and technology in recent years. Furthermore, numerous applications of the neutrosophic theory have become more usual. We aim to use neutrosophy to enhance Dai–Liao conjugate gradient (CG) iterative method. In particular, we suggest and explore a new neutrosophic logic system intended to compute the essential parameter t required in Dai–Liao CG iterations. Theoretical examination and numerical experiments signify the effectiveness of the introduced method for controlling t. By incorporation of the neutrosophy in the Dai–Liao conjugate gradient principle, we established novel Dai–Liao CG iterations for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. Global convergence is proved under standard assumptions and with the use of the inexact line search. Finally, computational evidence shows the computational effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy neutrosophic Dai–Liao CG method. Full article

In this article, we investigate the generalized Kawahara–KdV system. A new topological approach is applied to prove the existence of at least one classical solution and at least two non-negative classical solutions. The arguments are based upon recent theoretical results. Full article
