Application of Non-linear Dynamics

Dear Colleagues,

Nonlinear dynamics was originally developed as a new area of research in applied physics and mathematics. Now, it is known that most physical processes and phenomena are non-linear. Although many issues are roughly taken as linear and that approach gives satisfactory results, there are some practical problems where non-linear effects need to be considered. Some observable phenomena like chaos, synchronization, multistability, jump or hysteresis in resonance, etc. can only be captured in the non-linear models. Sometimes, nonlinear behavior of the system is desired and could give many advantages: increase efficiency, stability, or control.

This Special Issue is focused on contemporary applications, innovative theories, and challenges related to nonlinear dynamics in various branches of science and technology.

We invite scientists and engineers who contribute to the development of non-linear dynamics to send their work to the Special Issue of the MDPI journal "applied sciences".

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
