Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Stochastic control and optimization have become indispensable tools in modern financial modeling and decision making. The dynamic nature of financial markets, coupled with the presence of uncertainty and risk, requires sophisticated mathematical techniques for the effective management and optimization of financial resources. This Special Issue explores the theoretical foundations and practical applications of stochastic control and optimization methods to address key challenges in mathematical finance. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration, it aims to advance our understanding of financial markets and improve the effectiveness of decision making in the face of uncertainty.

This Special Issue aims to explore the intricate interplay between stochastic control theory, optimization techniques, and their applications in mathematical finance. It aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present their latest findings, and methods and insights related to tackling complex financial problems through stochastic control and optimization frameworks. This Special Issue welcomes contributions that address theoretical developments, algorithmic innovations, and empirical studies in areas including, but not limited to, portfolio optimization, risk management, derivative pricing, and asset allocation under uncertainty.

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.
