Functional Equations: Methods and Applications

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Functional equations are a very broad topic within mathematics. They are broad in the sense that they appear in almost all mathematical areas: ranging from elementary trigonometric functions to quantum groups. They are broad also in the sense that one can find applications of functional equations in physics, engineering and even social sciences. The aim of this topic is to present a brief insight into the importance of functional equations in pure and applied mathematics. All papers related to the topic of functional equations are welcomed, including both original research articles and surveys; papers on both pure mathematics and applied mathematics; and papers on the computational aspects of functional equations. We would particularly like to encourage research related to number theory and L-functions; however, all other areas are also welcomed.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
