Fractional Calculus and Fractional Differential Equations: Theory and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, generalizations of the derivative and the integral, the two fundamental operators of ordinary calculus, have gained great relevance; the set of mathematical results generated from these generalizations is called fractional calculus. As a natural consequence, the theory of differential equations has also become generalized and the scientific community from areas such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, economy, and engineering have witnessed how the models governed by these equations have great flexibility in describing and predicting various processes inherent to the corresponding areas of knowledge; this generalization is called fractional differential equations.

This Special Issue entitled “Fractional Calculus and Fractional Differential Equations: Theory and Applications” aims to collate original articles with contributions in all areas of science and engineering, such as new definitions and properties of fractional operators; new inequalities with fractional operators; fractional partial differential equations; fractional stochastic differential equations; applications of fractional ordinary, partial, or stochastic differential equations; and neural network methods for solving fractional differential equations.

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. 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.
