Special Issue Information

Submission

All papers should be submitted to entropy@mdpi.org with copy to the guest editor. To be published continuously until the deadline and papers will be listed together at the special websites. Both, research articles and review articles are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editors for announcment on this website.
