Mathematical and Computational Methods in Financial and Risk Forecasting

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, which focuses on the integration of advanced mathematical and computational techniques in financial innovation and risk management. The rapid evolution of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market has transformed financial asset management, introducing new complexities and challenges. Understanding the risk characteristics and opportunities arising from the convergence of traditional and digital finance is an essential area of academic and practical inquiries. This Special Issue addresses these developments and their implications for portfolio management, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance.

Moreover, it aims to advance our knowledge in applying mathematical and computational methods to financial and risk management challenges. It aligns with the journal’s focus on combining theoretical and practical insights to solve real-world problems. Topics of interest include innovative models and algorithms for portfolio optimization, derivative pricing, and financial econometrics. Contributions emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches that integrate finance, mathematics, computer science, and data analytics are particularly encouraged.

In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles and reviews that explore, but are not limited to, the following themes:

• Derivative pricing and trading strategies;
• Portfolio optimization and ETF analysis;
• Risk analytics and forecasting in finance;
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning applications;
• Computational methods in financial innovation;
• Digital asset management.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
