Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fractional calculus is a theory that unifies differential and integral operators of arbitrary (integer and non-integer) orders to form differintegral operators. The theory is gaining popularity due to its applicability to real-world problems, such as the description of memory-dependent biological phenomena. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present advancements in fractional calculus, from both theoretical and applicational perspectives. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- The properties of fractional operators defined by new kernels functions;
- Static and dynamic optimization methods based on fractional operators;
- Fractional nonlinear dynamical systems and control;
- The mathematics of infectious diseases by fractional operators.

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.
