Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite researchers, academics, and practitioners to submit original research articles to a Special Issue of Mathematics entitled “Mathematical Theory and Modeling of Complex Financial Systems”. The modern financial system is a typical complex adaptive system characterized primarily by its high dimensionality, nonlinearity, emergence, and intricate feedback mechanisms among heterogeneous agents. Traditional financial models often face significant challenges in capturing systemic risks, contagion mechanisms, and market fragility as observed in real-world crises. With the rapid advancement of high-frequency data accessibility and computational power, we now have the opportunity to delve deeper into the underlying mathematical structures of financial complexity. Meanwhile, complex network theory systematically identifies contagion pathways and critical vulnerabilities of systemic risks by analyzing structural characteristics of inter-bank markets, payment systems, or global asset correlation networks. Based on the above background, we propose the following topics to consider:
- emergencies, geopolitical conflicts, and systemic risk management;
- Risk linkage and monitoring between real estate, local debt, and small and medium-sized financial institutions;
- Digital technology and financial services for the real economy;
- Risk exposure management and resilience enhancement in the foreign exchange market;
- Network analysis and stability assessment of the cryptocurrency ecosystem;
- Pricing and risk management of carbon futures, carbon indices, and green transition bonds;
- Risk transmission of industrial and supply chains based on multi-layer coupled networks;
- Cross-market information correlation and risk spillover between quasi-financial markets and traditional financial markets;
- Resilience assessment and risk warning of the banking system from the perspective of the financial ecological network;
- The construction of the international financial order in the background of globalization reconstruction.

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.
