Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aggregation functions have become an important area of research. The necessity of merging information contained in a collection of pieces of information into a single one for making decisions in applied sciences has led to growing interest in studying numerical functions that allow this aggregation. These functions are usually called aggregation functions and have been successfully applied to different fields, such as artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, data fusion, etc.
Indistinguishability operators are a fundamental tool in fuzzy logic. When traditional binary equivalence relations are not enough to deal with uncertainty, indistinguishability operators come into play.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality mathematical papers collecting recent advances in the area of aggregation functions, indistinguishability operators, and related topics.
Potential topics of this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following: aggregation functions; nonadditive integrals; construction of aggregation functions; means and averages; decision making; implication operators; indistinguishability operators; similarities; approximate reasoning; etc.

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 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. 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.
