Advances in Fixed Point Theory and Its Applications

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to contribute a manuscript to this Special Issue on “Advances in Fixed Point Theory and Its Applications”. Fixed point theory is a hot area of research. It has many applications in diverse fields ranging from different branches of mathematics to engineering, and from economics to biology. For example, optimization problems including minimization problems, variational inequality problems, equilibrium problems, and variational inclusion problems, among others, are known to be very useful in diverse fields such as economics, computer science, and engineering, and they find applications in machine learning. Many problems arising from these fields can be modeled as optimization problems. One of the most successful methods for solving optimization problems is the fixed-point method. As a result of this, recently, significant research efforts have been devoted to developing fixed point iterative methods for approximating solutions to optimization problems.

The aim of this Special Issue is to gather and publish new results on fixed point theory and its applications. We welcome papers on topics including, but not limited to the following:

1. iterative methods;
2. optimization and control;
3. variational problems;
4. numerical problems in dynamical systems;
5. theory, methods, and applications of optimization;
6. mathematical modeling via fixed point theory;
7. applications of fixed point theory in engineering, science, and technology.

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.
