Recent Advances in Mathematical Optimization and Its Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Optimization is an important mathematical tool for many applications. The rapid development of science and technology drives the need for novel optimization theories, efficient algorithms, and innovative applications. This Special Issue provides a platform for research on the progress of optimization methodologies and their impacts on various applications. We request original research articles that address optimization theories, methods and applications. We seek high-quality contributions that not only present algorithms but also offer rigorous theoretical analysis and/or demonstrate substantial practical efficacy in real-world scenarios. Interdisciplinary studies that bridge optimization theory with impactful applications are especially welcome. Submissions are encouraged for this scope, with particular interest in the following areas:

I. Optimization methods for structured problems:

• Finite-sum and large-scale optimization;
• Nonsmooth and composite optimization;
• Optimization over manifold;
• Vector and multi-objective optimization;
• Bilevel optimization;
• Saddle point problem.

II. Application driven optimization:

• Machine learning and artificial intelligence;
• Signal processing;
• Wireless communications;
• Finance;
• Supply chain management;
• Transportation;
• Inverse problem.

III. General optimization theories and methods:

• Convergence analysis;
• Novel algorithms.

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. Axioms 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 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.
