Declining or Waning
- Traditional PID Control Applications:
There has been a noticeable decrease in papers focused solely on traditional PID control applications, as researchers increasingly explore advanced control strategies that offer more adaptability and robustness in complex environments. - Classical Control Techniques:
Classical control techniques, such as root locus and Bode plot analyses, appear less frequently as the field shifts towards modern techniques that incorporate computational intelligence and machine learning. - Linear Control Systems:
Research specifically centered on linear control systems has waned as the emphasis has shifted towards nonlinear systems and hybrid control approaches that address the complexities of real-world applications. - Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) Systems:
The focus on SISO systems is declining as the complexity of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems becomes more prevalent in control applications, reflecting the need for more sophisticated control strategies. - Theoretical Frameworks Without Practical Implications:
There is a decreasing trend in purely theoretical contributions that do not offer practical implications or applications, as the journal's audience seeks research that bridges theory and practice.
