Operators of Fractional Calculus and Their Multidisciplinary Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Current widespread interest in various families of fractional-order integral and derivative operators, such as those named after Riemann–Liouville, Weyl, Hadamard, Grunwald–Letnikov, Riesz, Erdélyi–Kober, Liouville–Caputo, and so on, have stemmed essentially from their demonstrated applications in numerous diverse areas of the mathematical, physical, chemical, engineering, and statistical sciences. These fractional-order operators provide interesting and potentially useful tools for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, as well as integral, differintegral, and integro-differential equations, the fractional-calculus analogues and extensions of each of these equations, and various other problems involving special functions of mathematical physics, applicable analysis and applied mathematics, as well as their extensions and generalizations in one, two and more variables.

In this Special Issue, we invite and welcome review, expository, and original research articles dealing with recent advances in the theory of integrals and derivatives of fractional order and their multidisciplinary applications.

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.
