Topic: Control and Optimization for Stochastic Systems

Stochastic systems, influenced by unpredictable factors in the real world, such as changes in the external environment and the internal complexity of the systems, have been applied in widespread fields such as finance, communication networks, aerospace, and mechanical engineering systems. However, traditional deterministic methods are ineffective when dealing with these random factors. Over the past decades, in order to reduce the impact of uncertainties, numerous scholars have adopted various techniques to analyze and study the stochastic factors within systems. These techniques include stochastic differential equation theory, operator spectrum techniques, H-representation techniques, etc. In recent years, with the development of computer science, network control methods, machine learning theory, and other theories have been used to investigate stochastic systems. This has introduced new opportunities and challenges, necessitating innovative approaches and theories to address control and optimization problems.

This Special Issue delves into the realm of control and optimization for stochastic systems, with a focus on theoretical research and engineering applications. We invite contributions that are dedicated to exploring cutting-edge theories and practical applications in this field.
