Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to announce a Special Issue focused on "Theory and Multidisciplinary Applications of Computational Intelligence" in Mathematics. This initiative emerges at a crucial juncture in technological evolution, where computational intelligence (CI) has transformed from a theoretical concept into a driving force behind modern technological advancement.
The journey of CI reflects humanity's enduring quest to emulate natural intelligence through mathematical frameworks. From Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts's groundbreaking 1943 paper on neural computation to Lotfi Zadeh's revolutionary 1965 introduction of fuzzy sets, and John Holland's pioneering work on genetic algorithms in the 1970s to contemporary applications in quantum computing, CI has demonstrated its exceptional versatility in bridging theoretical elegance with practical impact.
This Special Issue aims to explore both the mathematical foundations of CI and its innovative applications, organised into two primary categories:
I. Theoretical Foundations:
- Mathematical frameworks for neural networks and deep learning;
- Theoretical aspects of fuzzy systems and uncertainty modelling;
- Convergence analysis in evolutionary computation;
- Mathematical foundations of hybrid CI systems.
- Mathematical foundations enabling CI applications in engineering;
- Theoretical advances supporting applications in complex systems;
- Mathematical validation of CI methodologies;
- Scalability and convergence analysis in applied contexts;
- Uncertainty quantification frameworks for real-world problems.
We welcome original research articles and comprehensive reviews addressing:
- Cross-domain knowledge transfer with mathematical rigour;
- Novel mathematical frameworks enabling new CI applications;
- Integration of domain-specific mathematical models with CI methods;
- Theoretical advances enabling practical implementations;
- Mathematical validation approaches for CI applications;
- Scalability and convergence analysis in applied settings;
- Uncertainty quantification in real-world applications using CI.
This Special Issue represents a unique opportunity to contribute to both the theoretical advancement of CI and its mathematically grounded applications. We particularly encourage submissions that demonstrate how mathematical foundations enable successful applications, and those that identify theoretical challenges arising from real-world implementations.

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
