Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The present Special Issue is dedicated to new research in different aspects of fractional calculus, related to actual generalizations of the fractional integrals and derivatives. We encourage investigations of fractional differential equations or systems with different types of fractional orders: constant, distributed, or variable types. Furthermore, fractional equations or systems with delayed arguments (retarded or neutral types) or those without delay, as well as articles dedicated to partial fractional equations with fractional derivatives are also welcome. The works can contain results concerning fundamental theory, such as the existence and/or uniqueness of the solutions, different kinds of their qualitative properties, mainly various types of stability, etc.
We also encourage works that compare the advantages and disadvantages of fractional derivatives with integrable singular kernels and those with regularized kernels, calculating not only the mathematical (technical) convenience but also convenience from an applicability point of view, namely fractional models with which type of kernels give a more adequate description of the dynamics of the studied real-world phenomena. Qualitative results concerning the neural networks and/or fractional variants of well-known classical models in different scientific areas, such as physics, biology, economics, and so on, are also welcome, as well as articles containing new applications involving any kind of fractional models.

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.
