Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fixed point theory occupies an important place in the nonlinear functional analysis, numerical mathematics, economics as well as in applied sciences.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the modern theory of a fixed point from two aspects: metric and topological.
We plan to report new results on fixed points and their applications on different class equations and inclusions, such as the generalized classes of metric spaces obtained in the last few years such as modular metric, b-metric and F-metric spaces, bipolar metric spaces, fuzzy metric spaces, etc. In these classes of space, a number of open problems have been realized in recent years, and new possibilities for the development of the metric theory of a fixed point have been provided.
Additionally, we expect applications in fractional differential equations, fractional differential inclusions, fractional boundary value problems and fractional operators.
In this Special Issue, we hope to publish papers showing aspects of the application of topological methods in the fixed point theory, focusing primarily on Schauder-type theorems for single-valued mappings.
The final goal is to publish novel results concerning multivalued mappings (Kakutani-type theorems). This primarily refers to applications in mathematical economics (the existence of a maximal element and the equilibrium problem).

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.
