Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The traditional approach to stability analysis and control design for dynamical systems, often rooted in Lyapunov theory, has proven to be robust and versatile. However, in many modern applications, such as high-speed robotics, aerospace vehicles, and precision manufacturing systems, the requirement for convergence to equilibrium states within a finite time has emerged as a critical performance metric. This necessity has fueled the development of finite-time and fixed-time stability concepts, which offer the promise of faster and more predictable system responses.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together experts from various disciplines, including control engineering, applied mathematics, and computer science, to discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in enhancing the stability and control of dynamical systems within finite/fixed-time horizons. The objective is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, stimulate innovative research, and promote the dissemination of knowledge and best practices in this rapidly evolving field.
We cordially invite researchers, practitioners, and academics working in this exciting area to submit original research articles, review papers, and case studies for consideration to this Special Issue. Contributions should focus on advancing the understanding of finite-time/fixed-time stability and the control of dynamical systems, either through theoretical developments, novel control strategies, or practical implementations. By participating in this Special Issue, contributing authors will have the opportunity to showcase their work to a broad and engaged audience and contribute to the ongoing progress in this critical research field.

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. 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).
