Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wavelet Analysis and Fractals are playing fundamental roles in various applications in Science, Engineering, and Information Theory.
In information theory, the entropy encoding might be considered a sort of compression in a quantization process, and this can be further investigated by using the wavelet compression. There are many types of entropy definitions that are very useful in the Engineering and Applied Sciences, such as the Shannon-Fano entropy, the Kolmogorov entropy, etc. However, only entropy encoding is optimal for the complexity of large data analysis, such as in data storage. In fact, the principal advantage of modeling a complex problem via wavelet analysis is the minimization of the memory space for storage or transmission. Moreover, this kind of approach reveals some new aspects and promising perspectives in many other kinds of applied and theoretical problems. For instance, in engineering, the best way to model the traffic in wireless communication is based on fractal geometry, whereas the data are efficiently studied through wavelet basis.
This Special Issue will also be an opportunity for extending the research fields of image processing, differential/integral equations, number theory and special functions, image segmentation, the sparse component analysis approach, generalized multiresolution analysis, and entropy as a measure in all aspects of the theoretical and practical studies of Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering.
The main topics of this Special Issue include (but are not limited to):
- Entropy encoding, wavelet compression, and information theory.
- Fractals, Non-differentiable functions. Theoretical and applied analytical problems of fractal type, fractional equations.
- Wavelet Analysis, integral transforms and applications.
- Wavelet-fractal entropy encoding and computational mathematics, including in image processing.
- Wavelet-fractal approach.

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. Entropy 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 2600 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
