Time-Fractal and Fractional Models in Physics and Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue titled "Time-Fractal and Fractional Models in Physics and Engineering" covers concepts and models in the fields of fractals, multifractals, DFA, MCCA, and fractional analysis in natural science, engineering, social science, and econophysics. It includes complex networks related to fractals in transportation and civil engineering and introduces the theoretical and computer-simulated method of fractals, which is currently an active field of research. Among the applied fields, neural network applications pertain to object and image recognition in social sciences and the economic physics fields of stocks, exchange rates, futures, and bitcoin.

The focus of this Special Issue is to continue to advance research on topics related to theory, design, implementation, and application in the above fields. The topics that submissions may cover include (but are not limited to) the following：

• Fractals, multifractals, DFA, MCCA, fractional analysis;
• Fractals of anomalous transport in stochastic process, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics;
• Fractals in social, civil, engineering and space systems;
• Fractals and multifractals in complex networks;
• Fractals in machine learning and artificial intelligence;
• Fractals in fluid dynamics, energy, climate and global change;
• Multifractals regarding stock, the exchange rate, futures, cryptocurrency, etc., in econophysics;
• Fractals in medical sciences and brain networks;
• Fractal dynamics of time series data in chaos theory.

Research papers and review papers should be approximately 15 pages long. Short notes and letters should be approximately 7 pages long.

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. Fractal and Fractional 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 2700 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.
