Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite submissions for an upcoming Special Issue of our Mathematics journal, focusing on "Complex System Dynamics and Mathematical Biology". This Special Issue aims to highlight the synergy between complex systems theory and mathematical biology, showcasing how mathematical modeling and analysis can unravel the intricacies of biological phenomena.
Scope of the Special Issue
We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful perspectives that employ mathematical approaches to deepen our understanding of complex biological systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mathematical Modeling of Biological Systems: Development and analysis of models that capture the dynamics of biological processes, such as gene regulatory networks, cellular signaling pathways, metabolic networks, multi-cellular dynamics, and ecosystem interactions.
- Dynamical Systems in Biology: Exploration of nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and stability analysis in biological contexts, providing insights into phenomena like cellular dynamics, population dynamics, disease spread, and neural activity.
- Network Theory and Biological Interactions: Application of network analysis or hypergraph theory to understand complex interdependencies in biological systems, including protein–protein interaction networks, metabolic pathways, and ecological networks.
- Computational Methods in Mathematical Biology: Advancements in computational techniques and algorithms that facilitate the simulation and analysis of complex biological systems as well as the integration of biological data.

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.
