Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, fuzzy set theory—as the mathematical basis of artificial intelligence—has continued to attract scholarly attention. Fuzzy analysis theory serves as a crucial component. As core concepts of fuzzy analysis, fuzzy numbers, fuzzy differences, fuzzy differentials, etc., are closely linked to many important theories, such as fuzzy difference equations, fuzzy differential equations, fuzzy optimization, fuzzy games, fuzzy decision making, fuzzy control, etc. Therefore, it is essential to study fuzzy numbers, fuzzy differences, fuzzy differentials, and their related theories and applications.
This Special Issue, “Fuzzy Numbers, Fuzzy Difference Equations, Fuzzy Differential Equations and Their Applications”, invites papers on both theoretical and applied topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
Theories and applications of fuzzy numbers.
Theories and applications of fuzzy difference equations.
Theories and applications of fuzzy differential equations.
Techniques and algorithms for fuzzy optimization.
Strategies in fuzzy games.
Methods and analyses in fuzzy decision making.
Techniques and methods of fuzzy control.
This Special Issue will present the results of research describing recent advances in fuzzy numbers, fuzzy differences, and fuzzy differentials.

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.
