Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chaos, characterized by sensitivity to initial conditions and nonlinear dynamics, continues to play a central role in our understanding of complex systems. From explaining turbulence in fluid dynamics to modeling population dynamics in ecology, chaos provides a unifying framework for analyzing complex, deterministic systems that exhibit unpredictable behavior.
This Special Issue of Mathematics entitled “Advances in Chaos Theory and Applications” is dedicated to recent developments in chaos theory and its wide range of applications. We invite contributions from mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, and researchers in related fields who are advancing both the theoretical foundations and applied methodologies of chaos.
Submissions may address foundational developments, numerical simulations, or data-driven approaches to studying chaotic systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, applications in fluid dynamics, climate modeling, neural networks, biological systems, secure communications, and robotics. We also welcome interdisciplinary research that leverages chaos theory in emerging domains, including applications in quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
Of particular interest are studies—both experimental and theoretical—on walking droplets: macroscopic quantum analogs that demonstrate intricate links between chaos, wave–particle duality, and nonlinear behavior.
By bringing together a wide array of perspectives, this Special Issue aims to highlight the enduring relevance of chaos theory and its ability to uncover deep insights across the natural and computational sciences.

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.
