Mathematics and Simulation of Brain-Inspired Computing: From Dynamic Models to Visual Intelligence

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue explores mathematical frameworks driving brain-inspired computing systems, focusing on dynamic computational models and their applications in visual intelligence. We seek contributions that rigorously integrate the following:

• Mathematical modeling of neurobiological processes (e.g., coupled differential equations for spiking neurons, fractional calculus for synaptic plasticity).
• Learning algorithms with provable properties (e.g., convergence analysis of memristor-augmented backpropagation, Lyapunov stability in neuromorphic training).
• Optimization algorithms for energy-efficient neuromorphic architectures (e.g., stochastic gradient descent with biological constraints, gene algorithms based on memristor).
• Computational analysis of brain-inspired systems (e.g., complexity theory for event-based vision, entropy-driven information extraction).
• Statistical estimation in brain-like neural network vision tasks (e.g., Bayesian inference for brain-like neural network object detection, topological analysis of feature maps).
• Machine learning theory (e.g., convergence proofs for spiking neural networks, manifold learning for neuromorphic data).

Submissions must integrate formal mathematical analysis (theorems, proofs, or quantitative benchmarks) with computer vision applications, validated through simulations or hardware experiments.

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.
