Mathematical Problems in Chemical Physics

Dear Colleagues,

Chemical Physics offers the most fundamental view and employs the most fundamental investigation methods for investigation of the processes involving chemical transformations as well of the physical and chemical structure of matter. 

Nowadays, this is an extremely vast research field of immense importance—both theoretical and practical. 

Many problems emerging in this field require application of versatile mathematical apparatus. The present Special Issue aims to publish high-quality papers using mathematical methods to investigate various problems of Chemical Physics. 

Particular topics of interest include, but not limited to :

• chemical kinetics and catalysis
• reaction-diffusion systems
• chemically reacting flows (e.g., involving combustion, shock waves, deflagration, detonation, fires, and explosions)
• chemistry of condensed matter
• nanomaterials in chemical physics
• instabilities, bifurcations, and deterministic chaos in chemically reacting systems
• purely mathematical investigations in mathematical methods related to chemical physics

An additional driving objective of the Special Issue is to identify mathematical problems that are important for progress but have not yet received the deserved attention from the mathematical community.

Submitted papers must have definite emphasis on the mathematical side of investigation and be of high quality.

While it is expected that majority of papers will involve apparatus of differential, integral, or integro-differential equations, ideas regarding the application of other relevant mathematical methods would be of great interest and most welcome, for example, contributions dealing with mathematical methods for data processing in Chemical Physics.

A number of mathematical methods applied in Chemical Physics are quite specialized. Submitting authors are encouraged to present their results in a format accessible to a wider scientific audience, for example, to investigators with major background in physics or chemistry.

The Editor will consider both theoretical and computational papers contributing to the Special Issue. Along with original Research Articles, high-quality Review papers will also be considered.

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.
