Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to gather articles pertaining to control system engineering, where design and analysis might benefit from symmetry. In general, symmetry serves as a powerful tool in control systems, offering a structured approach to understanding and designing control systems for a wide range of applications. Symmetry often implies a form of balance or equivalence, and in control theory, this can be leveraged to simplify system analysis and design. For instance, the symmetrical properties of a system can lead to structured control approaches that exploit this symmetry to reduce complexity and improve the performance. Additionally, symmetry can help in identifying invariant properties of a system under certain transformations, providing insights into its behavior and enabling more efficient control strategies. The concept of symmetry can also play a significant role in enhancing the performance, robustness, and efficiency of neural networks and sliding mode control strategies, making them more effective in a wide range of applications.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. The research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Symmetric control laws;
- Symmetric structures in neural networks;
- Sliding mode control with symmetry;
- Symmetric state-space representations;
- Symmetric stability analysis;
- Symmetry-based fault detection and isolation;
- Symmetric trajectories in robotics;
- Symmetry in model predictive control;
- Autonomous driving and vehicles;
- Cyber physical 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. Symmetry 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 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.
