Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Uncertainty quantification and scientific machine learning can be essentially motivated by a range of vital applications, such as life-threatening events (e.g., pandemics, disease propagation, global warming, wildfires, hurricanes, in addition to limited water and food resources) and medical applications (e.g., cancer growth, digital surgery, precision medicine, informed medical decision making, tissue synthesis/engineering), and, more in general, in engineering applications such as plasma physics, subsurface transport, turbulence, additive manufacturing for complex multiscale materials, aging electrical systems and power grids, failure processes in mechanical structures, and more.
The main challenges in such applications include (but are not limited to): ill-posedness, necessary-to-sufficient training data/cost, lack of rigorous mathematical theories for learning paradigms, lack of a priori estimates for predictability, curse of dimensionality, noisy/gappy/sparse data, large and multimodal/physics/scale data, model form learning, overfitting/underfitting, lack of fidelity and generalization of surrogate models, long-time integration/learning, reliable data assimilation, and model calibration away from the proximity of observables.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of creative manuscripts that address the aforementioned challenges either theoretically or computationally in a novel fashion in the context of stochastic integer-to-fractional differential equations in addition to uncertain local-to-nonlocal mathematical models with the ultimate purpose of developing the new generation of AI-enabled science and engineering.

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 papers will be 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. Mathematical and Computational Applications is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this special issue will be waived. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
