Overview

Top Research Topics at Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems?

The journal investigates studies in Control theory, Mathematical analysis, Applied mathematics, Nonlinear system and Linear system. Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems connects the study in Control theory with the closely related area of Stability (probability). While Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems focused on Mathematical analysis, it was also able to explore topics like Pure mathematics, State (functional analysis), Controllability, Exponential stability and Boundary (topology).

Null (mathematics) and Observability are some topics wherein Controllability research discussed in the journal have an impact. The in-depth study on Applied mathematics also explores topics in the intersecting field of Optimal control. Research in Optimal control tackled falls within the umbrella of Mathematical optimization.

Nonlinear control and Linearization are all aspects of Nonlinear system research featured in it. Topics in Linear system explored in Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems were investigated in conjunction with research in Discrete mathematics, Bounded function, State space and Realization (systems). More specifically, the research on Lyapunov function in the journal is related to Lyapunov equation.

  • Control theory (29.10%)
  • Mathematical analysis (26.42%)

  • Geometric homogeneity with applications to finite-time stability (965 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems:

The most cited papers mainly tackle studies in Control theory, Nonlinear system, Linear system, Discrete mathematics and Mathematical analysis. The journal articles focus on Control theory but sometimes tackle the closely related disciplines such as

  • State (functional analysis) together with Bounded function,
  • Stability (probability), which have a strong connection to Applied mathematics and Robust control.. The most cited publications deal with Discrete mathematics in conjunction with Pure mathematics and similar fields in Constant (mathematics).

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Statistics
  • Algebra

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Applied mathematics, Nonlinear system, Linear system, Mathematical analysis and Controllability. The studies on Applied mathematics discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Dynamical systems theory, Exponential stability, Stability (probability), Lyapunov function and Space (mathematics). The journal focuses on Nonlinear system research as part of the broader topic of Control theory.

In addition to Linear system research, Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems aims to explore topics under Monodromy matrix, State space, Linear algebra, Finite field and Realization (systems). The presented Mathematical analysis study covers related areas such as Domain (mathematical analysis) and Wave equation and also touches on topics like Time variable and Exponential decay. The tackled Controllability research is interrelated with Algebra which concerns subjects like Parallelizable manifold.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Funnel control of nonlinear systems (6 citations)
  • Nonlinear small-gain theorems for input-to-state stability of infinite interconnections (2 citations)
  • Variational point-obstacle avoidance on Riemannian manifolds (2 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems (based on the number of publications) are:

  • George Weiss (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Christophe Prieur (8 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Sergey Dashkovskiy (7 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Andrew R. Teel (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Hartmut Logemann (7 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 8.82% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.35% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.68% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.58% of all publications and 48.39% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
