Stochastic Modeling in Biological System

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research articles covering advances in the theory of stochastic modeling in biology. In this framework, continuous and discrete time stochastic processes will be discussed, as well as stochastic differential equations, fractional differential equations, correlated processes, first-passage-time problems, stochastic optimal controls, parameter estimation, and simulation techniques. All the above topics are intended to be treated in the spirit of modeling the evolution of stochastic systems of interest in biology.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Stochastic processes for neuronal activity;
• Jump-diffusion processes;
• First-passage-time problems;
• Markov and semi-Markov processes;
• Time-changed processes;
• Markov chains;
• Fractional processes;
• Fractional Brownian motion.

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.
