Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of fuzzy metric spaces—first introduced by Kramosil and Michalek and subsequently modified in various ways throughout the literature—has become an active area of research in mathematics, particularly from the topological point of view. Although it is well known that fuzzy metrics and classical metrics are topologically equivalent, they show significant differences from a purely metric perspective. In particular, fixed-point theory in fuzzy metric spaces reveals important distinctions from its classical counterpart, making it an intensive field of research in recent years. Furthermore, several authors have proposed generalizations of fuzzy metrics from different viewpoints, including fuzzy quasi-metrics, fuzzy partial metrics, fuzzy b-metrics, vector-valued fuzzy metrics, and others.
This Special Issue aims to bring together recent advances in fixed point theory within the framework of fuzzy metric spaces and their generalizations. Specifically, it seeks to publish high-quality papers devoted to establishing and analyzing new fixed-point results in (generalized) fuzzy metric spaces, as well as their applications to differential and integral equations, optimization, and decision-making under uncertainty. Contributions addressing stability, uniqueness, and convergence results in fuzzy contexts, as well as papers exploring connections between fuzzy fixed-point theory and emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, data science, and control theory, will also be considered.

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