Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dynamical systems are popular in numerous fields, from aerospace and robotics to civil engineering and biological systems, where their behavior needs to be carefully controlled over time. Controlling dynamical systems is critical for ensuring stability, performance, and efficiency in a variety of complex applications. Broadly, control strategies can be categorized into passive control and active control. The former leverages system dynamics and natural dissipation mechanisms, while in the latter, external energy is introduced to modify the system’s behavior actively.
This Special Issue, titled "Control of Dynamical Systems", seeks to explore the latest developments in both passive and active control approaches. Passive control involves techniques that rely on the intrinsic properties of systems, such as damping and material characteristics, to mitigate vibrations, or to avoid instability without the need for external energy input. In contrast, active control employs sensors, actuators, and control algorithms to dynamically adjust system behavior in real time, providing greater flexibility and adaptability, especially in complex or unpredictable environments.
The growing complexity of dynamical systems, from multi-body mechanical systems to distributed networks and autonomous machines, necessitates innovative control methodologies. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share cutting-edge research on the modelling, design, and implementation of both passive and active control strategies, enhancing the performance, stability, and robustness of modern dynamical 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.
