Numerical Computation, Data Analysis and Software in Mathematics and Engineering, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue “Numerical Computation, Data Analysis and Software in Mathematics and Engineering” in the MDPI journal Mathematics.

In recent years, mathematical models, numerical methods and data analyses have been paid more attention. After the finite element method, the meshless method has been another effective tool for solving science and engineering problems. Numerical methods, such as finite element method, boundary element method and meshless method, have played important roles in numerical simulations of complicated problems in science, engineering and society fields. Various numerical methods are presented for solving the problems in different fields, and the corresponding computational efficiency, accuracy and convergence are studied as well. With the development of big data, a numerical simulation based on data analysis or big data will be an important direction for science and engineering computation. Furthermore, deep learning is also a new effective approach for analyzing the properties of new materials.

In this Special Issue, we particularly take an interest in manuscripts that report the relevance of numerical computation and data analysis for mathematical and engineering problems. The Special Issue will become an international forum for researchers to summarize the most recent developments of numerical simulations and data analysis within the last five years, especially for new problems. Moreover, the manuscripts on the mathematical theories of numerical computation and data analysis for complicated science, engineering or social problems are welcome. We also concern the development of the corresponding aspects based on big data, including the corresponding theory, numerical method and the applications.

Software is an important part of numerical computation and data analysis in mathematics and engineering. This Special Issue also concerns the developments of the software of numerical methods, including finite element method, boundary element method and meshless method, and the ones for data analysis.

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.
