Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Differential equations and eigenvalue problems have been extensively and profoundly studied. Many differential and integral equations originate from physics, particularly eigenvalue problems that have clear physical meaning. They have long been an integral part of modern science and have numerous applications across the natural science and engineering.
This Special Issue focuses on recent theoretical and practical studies of differential equations and eigenvalue problems. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Differential and integral equations;
- Boundary value problems;
- Nonlocal problems;
- Indefinite problems;
- Differential operator spectrum theory;
- Singular Sturm–Liouville differential operators;
- Eigenvalue problems with application;
- Asymptotic property of eigenvalues;
- Continuous dependence of eigenvalues;
- Gap and ratio of eigenvalues;
- Inverse spectral problem;
- Extremum problem;
- Applications of eigenvalue problems.

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.
