Stochastic Modeling and Optimization Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a paper to this Special issue of the MDPI journal Axioms entitled “Stochastic Modeling and Optimization Techniques”. This Special Issue seeks submissions that explore novel stochastic models, creative optimization techniques that handle unpredictability, and the synergistic blending of these fields to solve real problems.

We welcome papers that extend the theoretical foundations of stochastic modeling and optimization, propose new computational algorithms, and demonstrate applications in areas where uncertainty is a significant factor. Significant theoretical insights or methodological advancements should be provided, ideally supported by rigorous mathematical analysis and proofs. Also, contributions that integrate recent advances in stochastic modeling with machine learning techniques for optimization under uncertainty are especially encouraged.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, stochastic differential equations, probability theory, statistical analysis, Markov processes, Bayesian optimization, Monte Carlo methods, and game theory under uncertainty. The papers that address challenges in numerical methods for stochastic optimization, the convergence and stability of algorithms, and the application of fixed-point theories in novel contexts are more than welcome.

The presented works should demonstrate originality in concepts and applications while advancing both theoretical foundations and practical impact.

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.

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.
