Special Functions with Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Special Functions with Applications”, focuses on the study and utilization of special functions, which are mathematically significant and arise in applied mathematics and various fields of science. These functions, such as Bessel functions, hypergeometric functions, orthogonal polynomials, functions relating to the gamma function, etc., play a crucial role in solving differential equations, integral transforms, and problems in mathematical physics. The aim of this topic is to explore the theoretical foundations, computational methods, and practical applications of special functions, bridging the gap between pure mathematics and real-world problems.

This topic welcomes research on the development of new analytical and numerical techniques for evaluating special functions, as well as their applications in areas such as quantum mechanics, signal processing, fluid dynamics, and statistical mechanics. Contributions may also include interdisciplinary studies that leverage special functions to solve complex problems in engineering, computer science, and beyond. By fostering collaboration between mathematicians, physicists, and engineers, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of special functions and expand their utility in cutting-edge applications.

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-anonymized 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.
