Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonlinear control and optimization methods are being increasingly applied to a variety of modern engineering problems. These methods offer significant advantages in managing complex systems, particularly when linear approaches fall short due to the inherent nonlinear nature of many real-world systems. This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the latest advancements in the theory, analysis, design, and applications of novel methods for nonlinear control and optimization.
We invite high-quality contributions that discuss innovative approaches and practical implementations. Papers are encouraged to cover theoretical developments, case studies, as well as applications in fields such as robotics, power systems, aerospace, automotive engineering, and beyond.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Advanced nonlinear control methods;
- Adaptive control;
- Robust and optimal control techniques;
- Model predictive control;
- Intelligent control systems and machine learning applications in control;
- Control applications in robotics, power systems, and aerospace engineering;
- Optimization algorithms for nonlinear systems.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
