Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, many new models have been developed to address real-world problems that represent serious threats to the future of humankind. These result from modeling events observed in various fields of science, such as physics, chemistry, mechanics, electricity, biology, economy, mathematical applications, and control theory. Moreover, research conducted on fractional ordinary or partial differential equations and other relevant topics relating to integer order has attracted the attention of experts from all over the world.

The focus of this Special Issue will be on reviewing new developments based on fractional differentiation and integration with respect to both theoretical and numerical aspects.

This Special Issue invites experts to share new ideas on theories, applications, numerical and analytical methods, and simulations of fractional calculus and fractional differential equations, as well as integer order. Topics of interest are defined below, and submissions relating to relevant fields are welcome.

  • New analytical and numerical methods to solve partial differential equations.
  • Computational methods for fractional differential equations.
  • The analysis, modeling, and control of phenomena in the following areas:
    • Electrical engineering;
    • Fluid dynamics and thermal engineering;
    • Mechanics;
    • Biology;
    • Physics;
    • Applied sciences;
    • Computer science.
  • Engineering problems.
  • Deterministic and stochastic fractional order models.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 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.
