Mathematical Modeling and Optimization of Process Industries
This special issue belongs to the section “C2: Dynamical Systems“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The process manufacturing industry refers to elementary raw material industries, including those of petroleum, chemicals, steel, nonferrous metals, and building materials. With the tremendous progress in mathematics and information technologies, smart manufacturing has become the core technology in the transformation and upgrading of process industries. In order to achieve the goals of greenization and low-carbon, high-value, and high-end digitalization and intellectualization in process industries, it is necessary to develop new approaches of mathematical modeling and optimization for process industries. Hence, this Special Issue aims to investigate the mathematical modeling and optimization of process industries from the perspective of applications. All related original research that contributes to the mathematical modeling and optimization theory of process industries, along with their applications, is particularly welcome and encouraged.

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.
