Special Issue Information
This special issue aims to present recent advances in the modeling, analysis, and control of multi-agent systems (MAS) through the lens of differential equation-based frameworks. As autonomous systems grow increasingly complex and pervasive in fields such as robotics, aerospace, transportation, and smart grids, the need for rigorous mathematical models that can capture the continuous-time and discrete-time dynamics of interacting agents becomes ever more critical.
Differential equations—including ordinary differential equations (ODEs), partial differential equations (PDEs), and delay differential equations (DDEs)—offer a powerful toolset for characterizing the evolution of agent states over time. They enable researchers to investigate key properties such as stability, convergence, robustness, and performance guarantees, which are foundational to the reliable deployment of MAS in dynamic and uncertain environments.
This special issue seeks high-quality original contributions that explore theoretical innovations, algorithmic developments, and practical implementations. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1)Distributed and decentralized control strategies
2)Consensus and synchronization under switching and signed topologies
3)Time-varying and event-triggered coordination
4)Formation control with constraints and obstacle avoidance
5)Learning-enhanced control and adaptation in MAS
6)Resilience and fault-tolerant mechanisms in adversarial settings
7)Applications in UAV swarms, autonomous vehicles, sensor networks, and cyber-physical systems
We especially encourage submissions that bridge the gap between theory and practice, demonstrating how differential equation-based techniques can lead to scalable, efficient, and robust MAS solutions in real-world scenarios.
By bringing together contributions from control theory, applied mathematics, artificial intelligence, and systems engineering, this special issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and provide a comprehensive overview of current trends and future directions in MAS research. We look forward to receiving submissions that push the boundaries of what multi-agent systems can achieve through the unifying framework of differential equations.

Academic Publishing insists on taking academic exchange and publication as the main line, carrying out comprehensive management based on science and technology, and fully exploring excellent international publishing resources. Within 5 years, it will form a strategic framework and scale with science (S), technology (T), medicine (M), education (E), and humanities and arts (H) as the main publishing fields. Academic Publishing is headquartered in Singapore and based in Malaysia, with the United States and China providing the main scientific and academic resources. At the same time, it has established long-term good cooperative relations with other publishing companies, scientific research communities, and academic organizations in more than a dozen countries and regions. Academic Publishing uses English and Chinese as its main publishing languages, mainly publishing books, journals, and conference papers in print and online. The vast majority of publications follow the international open access policy, providing stable and long-term quality and professional publications. With the joint efforts of the expert team and our professional editorial team, our publications will gradually be indexed by international databases in stages to provide convenient and professional retrieval for various scholars. At the same time, manuscripts we accept will be subject to the peer review principle, and cutting-edge and innovative research articles will be preferentially accepted for peer reference and discussion. All kinds of our publications are welcome for peer to contribute, access, and download
