Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last two decades, (fractional) differential equations have become more common in physics, signal processing, fluid mechanics, viscoelasticity, mathematical biology, electrochemistry, and many other fields, allowing for a new and more realistic way to capture memory-dependent phenomena and irregularities within systems through more sophisticated mathematical analysis. As a result of its growing applications, the study of the stability of (fractional) differential equations has received significant attention. Furthermore, in recent years, interest in fractional- and integer-order controllers has grown. Examples of these are optimal control, CRONE controllers, fractional PID controllers, lead–lag compensators, and sliding mode control.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to disseminate research on fractional-/integer-order control theory and its applications in practical systems modeled using fractional-/integer-order differential equations. These include the design, implementation, and application of fractional-/integer-order control to electrical circuits and systems, mechanical systems, chemical systems, biological systems, finance systems, and so on.
Submissions are welcome on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Control theory for fractional- and integer-order systems;
- Lyapunov-based stability and stabilization of fractional- and integer-order systems;
- Feedback linearization-based controller and observer design for fractional- and integer-order systems;
- Digital implementation of fractional- and integer-order control;
- Sliding mode control of fractional- and integer-order systems;
- Finite-, fixed-, and predefined-time stability and stabilization of fractional- and integer-order systems;
- Set-membership design for fractional- and integer-order systems;
- High-gain based observers and differentiator design for fractional- and integer-order systems;
- Event-based control of fractional- and integer-order systems;
- Incremental stability of fractional- and integer-order systems;
- Control of non-minimum phase systems using fractional- and integer-order theory;
- New physical interpretation of fractional- and integer-order operators and their relationship to control design;
- Design and development of efficient battery management and state of health estimation using fractional- and integer-order calculus;
- Applications of fractional- and integer-order control to electrical, mechanical, chemical, financial, and biological systems;
- Verification and reachability analysis of fractional- and integer-order differential equations.

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. Fractal and Fractional is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
