Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the context of intelligent control design, symmetry is often considered in the system dynamics and actuator characteristics. Symmetric properties are utilized in the design of controllers for systems with symmetric dead-zones or actuator nonlinearities. Moreover, in the context of adaptive control for uncertain nonlinear systems, the consideration of symmetry is required to address constraints and uncertainties. For instance, adaptive neural network control techniques are developed for systems with asymmetric saturation actuators, highlighting the importance of handling asymmetry in control design. Symmetry is also a key aspect in the application of uncertain nonlinear systems. Various control strategies, such as Passivity-Based Control (PBC), are designed based on the assumption of system symmetry, especially in the lateral dynamics of intelligent vehicles. Additionally, the design of controllers for uncertain nonlinear systems often involves the consideration of symmetry and positive definiteness, especially in the presence of disturbances.

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.
