Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increase in technological processes’ complexity is clearly reflected in the mathematical equations, from which numerical simulation models are built. In this way, mathematical models of real-life industrial processes become more and more detailed, take into account various operating conditions, and, in many cases, allow the input of external signals.
The simulation models can have the form of differential–algebraic equations (DAEs). They enable us to explicitly express dynamic relations, as well as the physical laws of conservation of mass, energy, and charge. It is worth emphasizing that these relationships are often highly nonlinear. Optimization and design of processes described by nonlinear differential–algebraic equations can require the development of new computational methods and dedicated approaches for numerical simulation.
Research work in this particular area is a milestone in the creation of new technological solutions based on accurate numerical simulation models. I would like to encourage you to share your recent research and scientific results in the field of new approaches dedicated to optimization with systems described by differential–algebraic equations and constraints. Case studies of new methods applications in solving urgent engineering problems are also welcome.

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.
