Advances in Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems: Theory and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Boundary value problems (BVPs) have been a rapidly growing area of research. The study of these types of problems has not only a theoretical interest, including a huge variety of variational and topological methods and techniques, but also the possibility to model real phenomena in engineering, economics, physics, and life sciences, among others.

Its versatility and applicability are fundamentally derived from being able to consider many types of difference, differential, fractional, integrodifferential, and abstract equations or systems of equations, and a panoply of boundary conditions, such as local, nonlocal, integral ones, or given by functional expressions related to global behavior and values.

This Special Issue aims to promote the exchange of ideas and methods between researchers and to spread recent advances in this area. It will focus on all aspects of BVPs, variational and topological techniques, discrete and continuous equations, fractional differential equations, regular, singular, resonant problems, and their applications.

In this Special Issue, we propose to compile state-of-the-art results that can contribute effectively to these areas, and therefore, we invite authors to present original research articles.

Before submission, authors should carefully read over the journal's instructions for Authors at http://www.mdpi.com/journal/axioms/instructions.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Initial and boundary value problems;
• Nonlinear differential and integral equations;
• Fractional calculus and applications;
• Variational and topological methods;
• Eigenvalue problems for BVPs;
• Qualitative, asymptotic and oscillation properties, such as positivity, oscillation, symmetry, bifurcation, asymptotic behavior, regularity, and stability;
• Continuous and discrete dynamical systems;
• Applications to real world phenomena.

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-anonymized 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.
