Complex Networks and Dynamical Systems

Dear Colleagues:

With the development of science and technology, complex networks can be seen everywhere in the real world. Examples include the Internet, social networks, neural networks, and many others. In recent years, complex networks have attracted the attention of scholars in many fields including mathematics, biology, engineering and sociology. How to model actual complex networks and study their dynamic behavior is a very interesting and important topic in the field of complex network research. In mathematics, complex networks are usually described by differential or difference equations. In addition, practical applications depend on its dynamic properties such as stability, synchronization, periodicity, etc.

In this Special Issue of Axioms, we aim to explore the latest research and developments in dynamic properties of complex network control systems described by differential or difference equations. We will feature high-quality papers that cover a range of topics, including stability, synchronization and consistency of complex networks.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

1. Dynamic behaviors of complex networks in the real world and their applications;
2. Dynamic properties of different complex dynamical networks.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Axioms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
