Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Algorithmic Innovations: Bridging Theoretical Foundations and Practical Applications”, invites high-quality contributions that explore the design, analysis, and application of novel algorithms. Its aim is to unify diverse computational approaches—ranging from theoretical models to real-world deployments—across fields such as sensor networks, artificial intelligence, robotics and mechatronics, healthcare systems, and smart environments.

We welcome submissions that demonstrate methodological rigor and practical relevance, particularly those that address optimization under constraints, performance analysis, or cross-disciplinary integration. Studies that leverage metaheuristics, neural network-based models, or algorithmic frameworks for emergent applications such as IoT, smart healthcare, environmental monitoring, and resilient networks are especially encouraged.

This Special Issue also aligns with the Algorithms journal’s mission to support reproducibility and interdisciplinary impact. As such, detailed methodological documentation and openly shared resources (e.g., source code, datasets) are highly encouraged.

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. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is a widely used linear dimensionality reduction technique, but it often fails to capture critical features in complex nonlinear flows. In contrast, clustering methods are effective for nonlinear feature extraction, yet their application in dimensionality reduction methods is hindered by unstable cluster initialization and inefficient mode sorting. To address these issues, we propose a clustering-based dimensionality reduction method guided by POD structures (C-POD), which uses POD preprocessing to stabilize the selection of cluster centers. Additionally, we introduce an entropy-controlled Euclidean-to-probability mapping (ECEPM) method to improve modal sorting and assess mode importance. The C-POD approach is evaluated using the one-dimensional Burgers’ equation and a two-dimensional cylinder wake flow. Results show that C-POD achieves higher accuracy in dimensionality reduction than POD. Its dominant modes capture more temporal dynamics, while higher-order modes offer better physical interpretability. When solving an inverse problem using sparse sensor data, the Gappy C-POD method improves reconstruction accuracy by 19.75% and enhances the lower bound of reconstruction capability by 13.4% compared to Gappy POD. Overall, C-POD demonstrates strong potential for modeling and reconstructing complex nonlinear flow fields, providing a valuable tool for dimensionality reduction methods in fluid dynamics.
