Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, experts in epidemiology and infectious disease modeling have joined forces with mathematicians and physicists in order inform public policy agencies on how to effectively deal with and eventually manage the crisis. Most of the existing studies in this context are based on classical epidemic diffusion models, although often disregarding the underlying network structure over which the spreading processes are evolving. Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to contribute to a substantive exploration of the current key mathematical challenges of studying the interplay of nonlinear dynamical processes, discrete topologies, and data structures, i.e., dynamical systems, graphs (networks), and graph databases, in various scenarios from mathematics, computing, and physics to other biological, medical, and social sciences and engineering.

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.
