Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sliding mode control is one of the most important nonlinear robust control methods. The main part of designing sliding mode control is how to generate the sliding mode surface. Fractional calculus extends the traditional integer-order calculus by allowing the consideration of non-integer orders of differentiation and integration. This capability enables us to design an effective fractional sliding mode surface to more effectively model and control systems with fractional dynamics. This flexibility in designing an adaptive fractional sliding mode control leads to improved precision in tracking desired trajectories, robustness against external disturbances, reduced chattering phenomena, improved transient response, and reduced control effort. This method is highly encouraged for application in robotics and dynamic systems.
The focus of this Special Issue is to continue to advance research on topics relating to the theory, design, implementation, and application of fractional order systems and adaptive sliding mode control; contributions should fit the scope of the journal Fractal and Fractional, and topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Fractional-order behavior modeling of robotic systems;
- Fractional calculus applied to robotic systems;
- Fractional-order control systems and implementation;
- Adaptive fractional sliding mode control.

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.
