Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Applied optimization in automatic control and systems engineering involves the development and implementation of mathematical strategies to improve the performance and efficiency of automated systems. This interdisciplinary field combines principles from control theory, operations research, and computational algorithms to design and fine-tune systems for optimal operation. Techniques such as linear programming, nonlinear optimization, and dynamic programming are employed to solve complex problems in real-time, ensuring systems respond effectively to changing conditions and constraints. Applications range from industrial automation and robotics to aerospace and energy systems, where optimizing parameters like speed, accuracy, and resource usage is crucial for achieving desired outcomes. Through continuous advancements, applied optimization in automatic control and systems engineering drives innovation and enhances the capabilities of modern automated systems.
In this Special Issue, the aim is to discuss the state of the art of the most advanced optimization techniques (online and offline) and their applications in automatic control and systems engineering. Potential topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Optimal control of nonlinear systems;
- Optimal control of complex systems;
- Optimal observer design;
- Predictive control;
- Neuronal networks;
- Control systems;
- Fault detection;
- Fault tolerant 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. Mathematical and Computational Applications 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 1400 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.
