Foundations of Nonlinear Control (In Celebration of Prof. Zhong-Ping Jiang’s 60th Birthday)
Prof. Zhong-Ping Jiang is a world-leading authority in nonlinear control theory whose work has profoundly shaped modern systems and control research. Over the past three decades, he has made foundational contributions that bridge rigorous mathematical theory with impactful engineering applications.
This Special Issue is dedicated to celebrating Prof. Jiang’s 60th birthday and his far-reaching contributions. It will gather original research and visionary perspectives from leading experts worldwide, reflecting the depth, breadth, and continuing evolution of the fields he has shaped.
This Special Issue will focus on—though not be limited to—the following research themes:
l Foundations of Nonlinear Control
l Nonlinear small-gain theory and its generalizations
l Input-to-state stability and dissipativity analysis
l Robust and adaptive stabilization of large-scale, uncertain, and time-varying systems
l Learning-Based and Data-Driven Control
l Integration of reinforcement learning with nonlinear control
l Adaptive dynamic programming and approximate optimal control
l Safe and resilient learning-enabled control for uncertain systems
l Distributed and Networked Systems
l Cooperative control and consensus in multi-agent systems
l Distributed optimization and decision-making
l Networked and cyber-physical-human systems control
l Applications and Emerging Directions
l Autonomous systems, robotics, and intelligent transportation
l Control in systems neuroscience and biological networks
l Smart energy systems, power grids, and urban infrastructure
Submission Instructions
Participation is by invitation only, featuring contributions from eminent researchers whose work aligns with or has been inspired by Prof. Jiang’s legacy. The Special Issue aims to serve as both a state-of-the-art reference and an inspiration for future research in nonlinear systems and control.
