Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The goal of this Special Issue is to bring together some of the most innovative research that uses advanced optimization techniques to tackle tough challenges in financial mathematics and the world of cryptocurrency. As we have seen, the swift growth of cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance has introduced unique optimization puzzles that traditional financial models often struggle to solve. This Special Issue wants to create a lively space for researchers and practitioners to share ideas, develop, and apply sophisticated mathematical, statistical, and computational optimization methods to the exciting field of financial economics and the rapidly evolving crypto-asset markets.
We are looking for theoretical contributions, fresh methodologies, and real-world applications that shine a light on optimization challenges. We are especially keen on submissions that dive into portfolio optimization, cryptocurrency diversification, systemic risk measurement, volatility modeling, risk management, and models that explore how people make financial decisions. If you have high-quality articles that use advanced mathematical techniques like copula-based modeling, machine learning algorithms, evolutionary optimization methods, chaos-based models, or AI-driven solutions to tackle financial issues, we would love to see them!
Ultimately, this Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between theoretical optimization methods and their practical use, encouraging collaboration and discussion among mathematicians, financial economists, and data scientists.
We look forward to your submissions.
Dr. Jules Mba

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.
