Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to contribute to this Special Issue of Mathematics, focused on the application of mathematical methods in multi-objective optimization and evolutionary algorithms. In today’s complex landscape, decision making often requires a multi-dimensional approach that considers multiple criteria and objectives to achieve the best possible outcomes. Multi-objective optimization is, therefore, a highly relevant area of study, with applications in energy efficiency, supply chain design, data mining, telecommunications, and more.
Due to the complexity of multi-objective optimization problems, finding optimal solutions using exact methods can be computationally expensive and inefficient. As a result, heuristic and metaheuristic approaches have been developed, including evolutionary algorithms—techniques inspired by natural selection and competition for resources.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles on both theoretical and applied aspects of multi-objective optimization and evolutionary algorithms across various sectors.
Dr. Mariona Vila Bonilla

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.
