IMA Journal of Mathematical Control and Information

期刊简介：The Journal is to provide an outlet for papers which are original and of high quality in mathematical control theory, systems theory, and applied information sciences. Short papers and mathematical correspondence or technical notes will be welcome, although the primary function of the journal is to publish papers of substantial length and coverage. The emphasis will be upon relevance, originality and clarify of presentation, although timeliness may well be an important feature in acceptable papers. Speculative papers that suggest new avenues for research or potential solutions to unsolved problems of control and information theory will be particularly welcome. Specific application papers will not normally be within the remit of the journal. Applications that illustrate techniques or theories will be acceptable. A prime function of the journal is to encourage the interplay between control and information theory and other mathematical sciences.All submitted papers will be judged on their merits by at least two referees and a full paper report will be available to the intending authors. Submitted articles will in general be published in an issue within six months of submission. Papers should not have previously published, nor should they be undes consideration for publication in another journal. This Journal takes publication ethics very seriously. If misconduct is found or suspected after the manuscript is published, the journal will investigate the matter and this may result in the article subsequently being retracted.

【译文】该期刊旨在为数学控制理论、系统理论和应用信息科学领域提供高质量原创论文的发表平台。欢迎短篇论文、数学通信或技术笔记，尽管期刊的主要功能是发表篇幅较长、内容广泛的论文。重点将放在相关性、原创性和表述清晰上，尽管时效性也可能是可接受论文的一个重要特征。欢迎提出新研究方向或潜在解决方案的推测性论文，特别是针对控制和信息理论未解决的问题。通常，具体应用论文不在期刊的范围内。展示技术或理论的论文是可接受的。期刊的主要功能之一是鼓励控制理论和信息理论与其他数学科学之间的互动。所有提交的论文将由至少两位审稿人根据其优点进行评判，并将向有意向的作者提供完整的论文报告。提交的文章通常在提交后六个月内发表。论文不应之前已发表，也不应在其他期刊的考虑出版中。
