Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
In dynamical systems and control theory, convergence plays a fundamental role in understanding and manipulating complex nonlinear systems. Nonlinear systems are ubiquitous in nature and engineering, so their convergence analysis is crucial. This Special Issue delves into the convergence of nonlinear systems, shedding light on its significance and applications.
Achieving convergence is a critical objective in control theory. Control algorithms aim to guide a system towards a desired state, and ensuring convergence ensures that the system settles into the desired configuration accurately and efficiently. For instance, in autonomous vehicle control, convergence guarantees that the vehicle's trajectory converges to the desired path, enhancing safety and precision. In dynamical systems, convergence analysis helps in understanding the long-term behavior of systems. Chaos theory, for example, explores the behavior of chaotic systems and examines whether they strongly depend on initial conditions or eventually converge to certain attractors. Understanding convergence properties in chaos theory is vital for predicting and controlling chaotic systems, such as weather patterns or financial markets.
In conclusion, the convergence of nonlinear systems is a fundamental concept in dynamical systems and control theory. It underpins the stability and predictability of complex systems, facilitating their control and manipulation. Researchers and engineers continue to explore and develop sophisticated techniques to ensure convergence, enabling advancements in various fields and technologies.

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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
