Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The existence and non-existence of mathematical objects has long been one of the motivating pillars of the discovery and creation of mathematical theories by mathematicians. Some notable examples include Polya’s conjecture in number theory in 1919, von Neumann’s conjecture in algebra in 1929, and the Ibragimov–Iosifescu conjecture in probability theory in 1974. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide Mathematics readers with a collection of high-quality manuscripts on all theoretical and applied mathematical disciplines with a focus on presenting novel examples and counterexamples. Manuscripts should be prepared in a concise format with a maximum of seven pages presenting the background, main statement, (counter)examples, and the discussion. Recent mathematical developments and discussions in the proof, conditional proof, and disproof of a mathematical conjecture accompanied with (counter)examples are appreciated. Novel mathematical objects with exemplary applications in other scientific branches are also appreciated. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: constructive mathematics; constructive logic; constructive analysis; constructive non-standard analysis; constructive proof; counterexamples.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
