Numerical Analysis and Optimization: Methods and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The scope of this Special Issue ranges from mathematical foundations of the numerical optimization to algorithm and software development, and from benchmark examples to case studies of practical applications in a wide range of industries including aerospace, civil,  automotive, architecture, mechanical, and electrical engineering. Articles that focus on developing advanced algorithms for topology optimization, shape optimization, surrogate-based optimization, data-driven optimization, reliability optimization, and multidisciplinary optimization (solid, fluid, thermal, electric and electronics, electromagnetics) are encouraged. Particularly, deep research on applications of numerical simulation and optimization in composite structure design, nanotechnology, additive manufacturing, digital twins, AI, cloud computing, electric and electronics systems, biomechanics, and hydrogen storage technology is also welcomed.

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.
