Symmetry and Solutions of Fractional Differential Equations with Their Developments

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional differential equations arise in many engineering and scientific disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, economics, control theory, signal and image processing, biophysics, blood flow phenomena, aerodynamics, fitting of experimental data, etc. In addition, it is very important to study the properties of the solutions of fractional differential equations, such as existence, uniqueness, symmetry, and monotonicity of the solutions. On the other hand, nonlinear functional analysis is an important branch of modern analytical mathematics, and it is one of the most active research areas in analytical mathematics. This Special Issue focuses on applying the tools of nonlinear functional analysis to study fractional differential equations and systems, in particular, fractional differential and integral operators, fractional Laplacian operators and their variants, fractional Hammerstein equations, fractional stochastic differential equations, etc. We welcome excellent manuscripts on a wide variety of nonlinear problems based on nonlinear analytical methods, including but not limited to cone theory, topological degree methods, upper and lower solution methods, critical point theory, monotonic iterative methods, and fixed-point methods, etc.

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.
