Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, stochastic calculus has witnessed tremendous progress in various areas of sciences and mathematics. Stochastic calculus provides a significant contribution to the scientific literature. Nowadays, highly nonlinear systems (real-world problems) are a hot issue in different types of modeling, such as engineering, biology, physics, chemistry, economics, and many more. Many complex, continuous, and discontinuous systems based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs), partial differential equations (PDEs), and stochastic differential equations, and their applications, still have no analytic solutions. This Special Issue mainly focuses on addressing a wide range of efficient models in different types of real-world problems. The various uses of computational methods in sciences have opened new challenging paths of research.
This Special Issue represents a platform for researchers and scientists for collaboration among mathematicians with other researchers.
We welcome and invite review and original research articles dealing with recent advances on the topics of stochastic calculus, as well as their applications in this particular issue.
This Special Issue will be focused on, but not limited to:
- Stochastic differential equations and their applications;
- New stochastic models and their properties;
- Complex multiscale nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems;
- Numerical methods for stochastic differential equations;
- Uncertainty quantification;
- Data assimilation;
- Reduced-order models;
- Parameterization;
- Machine learning;
- Chaos analysis in biological sciences;
- Computer methods in economy-based problems;
- Neural networking of infectious diseases;
- Predator–prey models in ecology;
- Stochastic reaction–diffusion models;
- Stochastic fractional-order models and chaos analysis in biological sciences;
- Stochastic fractional delayed models;
- Advances in numerical techniques regarding stochastic aspects.

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. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
