Stochastic Processes: Theory, Simulation and Applications, 2nd Edition

This special issue belongs to the section “D1: Probability and Statistics“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Mathematics, which is dedicated to presenting innovative results.

Contributions on the theory and simulation of stochastic processes and their applications are especially welcome. The focus is also oriented toward, but not limited to, the design and analysis of probabilistic models, Markov and Gaussian stochastic processes, computational methods, first-passage-time problems, and applications to biomathematical modeling, reliability theory, risk theory and queueing systems. Attention is also given to problems of both a theoretical and computational nature related to the following themes:

Probabilistic models for neuronal systems;
Adaptive service systems;
Population growth models in random environments;
Algorithms for the evaluation of first-crossing probability densities through suitable boundaries;
Asymptotic behaviors of probability densities for Markov and Gauss processes.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
