Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims at encouraging the discussion and collaboration of researchers in the fields of control, communication, and learning. Traditional techniques in these fields usually rely on system modeling. However, as the models of certain engineering systems become more complex, it is becoming harder, near impossible even, to build a suitable model. In the last two decades, thanks to the dramatic development of data-driven technologies, a promising possibility has been provided in terms of dealing with control, communication, and learning problems using either online or offline data. This Special Issue invites submissions on all topics regarding theory and applications in control, communication, and learning, including but not limited to the following topics described in the keywords.

Dr. Yongliang Yang
Dr. Vladimir Stojanovic

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.

An adaptive fixed-time dynamic surface tracking control scheme is developed in this paper for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems, where the control input is subject to hysteresis dynamics. To deal with the input hysteresis, a compensation filter is introduced, reducing the difficulty of design and analysis. Based on the universal approximation theory, the radial basis function neural networks are employed to approximate the unknown functions in the nonlinear dynamics. On this basis, fixed-time adaptive laws are constructed to approximate the unknown parameters. The dynamic surface technique is utilized to handle the complexity explosion problem, where fixed-time performance is ensured. Moreover, the designed controller can avoid singularities and achieve fixed-time convergence of error signals. Simulation results verify the efficacy of the method developed, where a comparison between the scheme developed with existing results is provided. Full article
