Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled “The Mathematics of Uncertainty in Game Theory” aims to explore both the theoretical foundations and the practical implications of incorporating generalized forms of uncertainty into game-theoretic models. The Special Issue also seeks to highlight the growing importance of robust uncertainty modeling in strategic contexts.
We particularly welcome contributions that present novel mathematical frameworks or theoretical advancements—including, but not limited to, ambiguity, imprecise probabilities, belief hierarchies, non-Bayesian approaches, quantum decision theory, and quantum probabilities—in game-theoretic models of any kind, whether noncooperative, cooperative, static, or dynamic.
In addition, application-oriented papers are welcome, provided they clearly demonstrate how relaxing traditional assumptions about uncertainty enhances the explanatory power of game-theoretic models.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Games.

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.
