Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optimal control theory is a fundamental area of mathematics that has profound implications across numerous disciplines, including engineering, economics, biology, and more. By providing a framework for determining control strategies that optimize a given performance criterion, optimal control has become an essential tool for solving complex real-world problems. The aim of this Special Issue is to attract leading researchers in these areas in order to include new high-quality results involving their symmetry properties, both from a theoretical and an applied point of view. All articles related to optimal control theory are invited to be submitted for this Special Issue.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Uncertain optimal control and application;
- Adaptive and robust control strategies;
- Control of distributed and networked systems;
- Applications of optimal control in robotics and autonomous systems;
- Optimal control in biological and medical systems;
- Fractional systems and its applications;
- Financial models and economic systems;
- Energy management and optimization;
- Computational methods for solving optimization problems;
- Multi-agent and distributed control 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.
