Mathematics and Applications, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue will celebrate the 2nd International Online Conference on Mathematics and Applications held by the journal from 10–12 June 2026. Mathematics highlights studies devoted to the mathematical treatment of questions arising in physics, chemistry, biology, statistics, finance, computer science, engineering and sociology, particularly those that engage with analytical/ algebraic aspects and novel problems and their solution.

We invite submissions across the following key areas:

• Algebra, Geometry, Topology and Logic with Applications:

Research in core areas such as algebra, number theory, differential geometry, complex geometry, mathematical logic, cryptography, and topology, as well as their connections with other scientific and technological domains.

• Mathematical Analysis:

Studies in real and complex analysis, differential equations (both ordinary and partial), evolution equations, dynamical systems, functional analysis, calculus of variations, and harmonic analysis with wavelets, with applications in biology, finance, fluid mechanics, etc.

• Statistics and Operational Research:

Recent advances in the theory of probability and statistics, data analysis, operations research, and their applications in many disciplines.

• Applied Mathematics:

Papers that describe and analyze new computational techniques for solving scientific problems in different fields such as physics, engineering, biology, medicine, finance, business, computer science, and various industries.

• Control Theory and Mechanics:

Contributions presenting novel mathematical methods and computational techniques for control and mechanics problems, including robust control theory, predictive control, nonlinear control, adaptive control, optimal control theory in mechanical systems, stability analysis, mathematics of multibody dynamics, control-oriented parameter identification, multiscale mechanical systems, mechanical contact problems, topology optimization, etc.

• Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence:

Research at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and artificial intelligence (AI). It places a particular emphasis on the mathematical foundations of AI, such as neural network theory, optimization algorithms for AI, and probability theory in machine learning. Additionally, papers that describe the real-world applications of AI while highlighting the underlying mathematical principles are highly encouraged.

The Special Issue is open to submissions from all authors who are interested in the topic, even if they did not participate in the event. All papers accepted in this Special Issue will meet the usual standards for publication held by Mathematics.

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.
