Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in mathematical modeling and learning algorithms are reshaping high‑dimensional imaging across multi-/hyperspectral fusion, remote sensing, and multi‑contrast MRI. This Special Issue seeks contributions that connect rigorous mathematics—including low‑rank models, transform‑domain and learnable priors, variational and inverse‑problem formulations, and optimization methods (e.g., ADMM, plug‑and‑play, implicit/explicit deep unfolding)—with scalable data‑driven architectures such as attention/Mamba‑style operators, neural operators, and diffusion models. We welcome works spanning theoretical guarantees (e.g., convergence, stability, identifiability), algorithmic innovations with interpretable structures, and application‑oriented studies on HSI/MSI fusion and super‑resolution, inpainting and completion with nonlocal/self‑similar priors, robust PCA and structured low‑rank recovery, change detection and semantic segmentation under distribution shift, and physics‑guided MRI reconstruction.

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.
