This special issue addresses the nonlinear and complex system models considering the dynamical analysis, control, and applications for the fractional-order case. It involves modeling, nonideal systems and applications, synchronization, and control for nonlinear systems, such as mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, mechatronic, and very complex systems that consider systems in fractional order.

The special issue will bring together contributions from researchers in different topics of nonlinear systems. Papers describing original theoretical research as well as new experimental results are expected.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Nonlinear dynamics
• Nonideal systems
• Chaotic dynamics and control
• Application of control in energy harvesting
• Dynamic analysis and control for complex systems
• Synchronization networks
• Nonlinear oscillators synchronization
• Robust control
• State observer design
• Applications to control systems
