Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of exact resolution procedures, supported by continuously evolving hardware technology and viable sharing of resources from networked environments, is increasingly seen as the most appropriate approach for solving complex problems, since the limitation pertaining to resolution time can be significantly reduced. Therefore, mathematical programming must be, from this perspective, a fundamental tool for problem solving.
This Special Issue is focused on the experimental analysis of mathematical programming models applied to optimization problems on real systems, as well as new modelling approaches for classic problems in the field of operational research. When we talk about real systems, we refer to industrial, logistic, and service environments in which the problem brings with it a wide variety of specifications for its operation. This Special Issue also aims to collect new proposals for the modelling of classic problems, scheduling problems, graph theory problems, or any other problems within operational research. Regarding the mathematical formulation, it is convenient to carry out experimental studies with a wide spectrum of data, comparative studies on different modelling proposals, or the analysis of the behaviour of optimization libraries and particular exact resolutions based on branching techniques.
Hence, we invite related high-quality papers to model and solve practical problems from industrial engineering and management through mathematical modelling. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Modelling in mathematical programming;
- Operation research problems;
- Real problems in production and logistics;
- Exact methods;
- Optimization libraries;
- Computational analysis.

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.
