Applied Functional Analysis and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Applied functional analysis is very important in most applied research fields, and its influence has grown in recent decades. It seems that most novel papers have used techniques, idea, notions, and methods of applied functional analysis.  Applied functional analysis includes linear and nonlinear problems from numerical analysis, systems theory, calculus of variations, control and optimization theory, convex and non-smooth analysis, and more.

This Special Issue deals mainly with the theoretical functional analysis approaches to mathematical problems that are related to our real world. All significant areas of applications of functional analysis including new developments in functional analysis and contributions to important problems in and challenges to functional analysis are welcome. We also accept problems arising from linear, nonlinear, conic, stochastic, discrete, and dynamic optimization, variational and convex analysis including high-quality research or review papers in this Special Issue.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to connect the efforts of mathematicians, engineers, and other scientists for whom applied functional analysis is important in their research activities.

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-anonymized 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.
