Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The task of generalizing and studying classical and newer differential models appearing in the literature in recent years is always relevant.
This requires the use and development of specialized numerical methods applicable to the study of specific nonlinear dynamical systems.
We mention, for example, the current tasks of conducting qualitative numerical analysis and generating appropriate iterative methods for studying the dynamics of the following:
- Modified micro-electromechanical oscillators;
- Extended Duffing–van der Pol oscillators;
- Generalized anharmonic oscillators;
- Piecewise smooth oscillators;
- Perturbed Morse-type oscillators;
- Modified planar Kelvin–Stuart models;
- Multiple sine-Gordon models;
- Numerical solutions of the Boussinesq equation.
In several cases in the process of calculating the Melnikov functions, researchers find that the expressions of the Melnikov functions cannot be solved analytically because the homo/heteroclinic orbits are very complex. For this purpose, numerical algorithms are usually proposed and used in practice.
Another interesting possibility is the use of high-order Melnikov polynomials to generate antenna factors. This requires the use of specific numerical algorithms from the fields of approximation theory and optimization theory.

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.
