Applications of Fractional Calculus in Modern Mathematical Modeling

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional calculus extends the notion of derivatives and integrals of arbitrary order and gives rise to a variety of complex models and analyzes. This is due to its ability to capture the effects of memory and many other effects that other forms of calculus simply cannot capture. Therefore, this Special Issue will aggregate the latest research that focuses on the most recent theoretical advances, computing methods, and wide applications of fractional calculus in the modern mathematical modeling of various fields such as physics, biology, engineering, and finance. It will be centered around the theory of fractional calculus, new analytical and numerical methods for solving fractional differential equations, fractional partial differential equations and their applications, the biological modeling of fractional calculus, control systems and engineering, the application of fractional differential calculus to financial and economic problems, the mathematics of fractional calculus methods, non-local operators in mathematical modeling, the epidemiology and treatment of infectious diseases, and the use of fractional operators and models of time-fractional derivatives.

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-blind 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.
