Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fractional differential equation is a new research branch of nonlinear science. Its development has been a great boost to many science fields such as viscoelasticity, neurons, electrochemistry, control, biomedical physics, porous media and electromagnetism. Therefore, the new advancements of fractional calculus, including theories and applications in analytical and numerical methods to solve fractional differential equation, will greatly improve people's ability to understand and control the corresponding natural phenomena on many disciplines.
The aim of this Special Issue is to report on the latest achievements and recent development of fractional differential equations, which include but are not limited to, fractional calculus theories, analytical and numerical methods for solving fractional differential equations, the practical application of fractional models, etc. Examples of other related topics are listed below:
- Dynamical fractional differential equations;
- Nonlocal fractional-order boundary value problems;
- Fractional functional differential equations;
- Impulsive fractional differential and integral equations;
- Inequalities of fractional integrals and derivatives;
- Numerical analysis for nonlinear fractional differential equations;
- Analysis and control for fractional differential equations;
- Fractional financial mathematics models;
- Fractional partial differential equations and their applications;
- Algebra analysis for fractional differential equations;
- Fixed-point theory and application in fractional calculus;
- Fractional network arising in physical models;
- Fractional stochastic differential equations.

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. Fractal and Fractional is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
