Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mathematical models, as part of the scientific method, are mathematical pictures of reality and represent a description of an object or system by applying particular mathematical concepts and symbols. They are often expressed in terms of ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations. Mathematical models can also be statistical models, fuzzy logic models, and empirical relationships. In fact, any model description using mathematical language can be called a mathematical model. On the other hand, numerical optimization, also called mathematical programming, is an area of applied mathematics that allows for finding “the best” alternative for a given situation through the systematic analysis of the possible alternatives of the situation at hand.
Good mathematical models and the proper use of classical and modern mathematical theory, as well as current numerical optimization techniques, are of vital importance to improve reliability and precision in the management of practical applications in real life.
We are pleased to invite you to submit original research articles and reviews where mathematical modeling or numerical optimization techniques are used to solve any type of real-life problem in the fields of engineering and natural, medical, or social sciences, among others. Please feel free to share this invitation with your colleagues.
If you have any questions regarding this Special Issue, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Héctor Jairo Martínez-Romero

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.
