Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue, entitled “Mathematical Modelling in Engineering and Human Behaviour (3rd Edition)”, is to develop an interdisciplinary forum for research in Medicine, Sociology, Business and Engineering, where experts in cross-disciplinary areas can discuss recent advances in mathematical techniques in a common and understandable language. This Special Issue hopes to connect researchers who utilize mathematics for the formulation and analysis of models.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

  • Mathematical models in epidemiology and medicine;
  • Mathematical models in engineering;
  • Applications of linear algebra;
  • Iterative methods for nonlinear problems;
  • Simulations in civil engineering and railway engineering;
  • Networks and applications;
  • Financial mathematics;
  • Uncertainty quantification and modelling;
  • Optimization, least squares and applications;
  • Machine learning and neuronal networks;
  • Mathematics for decision-making.

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 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Renewable energy technologies have become an increasingly important component of the global energy supply. In recent years, photovoltaic and wind energy have been the fastest-growing renewable sources. Although oceans present harsh environments, their estimated energy generation potential is among the highest. Ocean-based solutions are gaining significant momentum, driven by the advancement of offshore wind, floating solar, tidal, and wave energy, among others. The integration of various marine energy sources with green hydrogen production can facilitate the exploitation and transportation of renewable energy. This paper presents a mathematics-driven analysis for the simulation of a technical model designed as a generic framework applicable to any location worldwide and developed to analyze the integration of solar energy generation and green hydrogen production. It evaluates the impact of key factors such as solar irradiance, atmospheric conditions, water surface flatness, as well as the parameters of photovoltaic panels, electrolyzers, and adiabatic compressors, on both energy generation and hydrogen production capacity. The proposed mathematics-based framework serves as an innovative tool for conducting multivariable parametric analyses, selecting optimal design configurations based on specific solar energy and/or hydrogen production requirements, and performing a range of additional assessments including, but not limited to, risk evaluations, cause–effect analyses, and/or degradation studies. Enhancing the efficiency of solar energy generation and hydrogen production processes can reduce the required photovoltaic surface area, thereby simplifying structural and anchoring requirements and lowering associated costs. Simpler, more reliable, and cost-effective designs will foster the expansion of floating solar energy and green hydrogen production in marine environments. Full article

In the present paper, we prove a new local convergence theorem with initial conditions and error estimates that ensure the Q-quadratic convergence of a modification of the famous Weierstrass method. Afterward, we prove a semilocal convergence theorem that is of great practical importance owing to its computable initial condition. The obtained theorems improve and complement all existing such kind of convergence results about this method. At the end of the paper, we provide three numerical examples to show the applicability of our semilocal theorem to some physics problems. Within the examples, we propose a new algorithm for the experimental study of the dynamics of the simultaneous methods and compare the convergence and dynamical behaviors of the modified and the classical Weierstrass methods.
