Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge research exploring the behaviors that emerge in nonlinear dynamical systems. This issue welcomes theoretical works and works that connect theoretical and applied sciences, highlighting how nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory can be harnessed to solve complex problems in various fields. We invite contributions that delve into state-of-the-art topics such as bifurcation theory, synchronization phenomena, fractals, and multi-stability, as well as applications in engineering, biology, economics, and beyond.

Although this Special Issue welcomes ubiquitous areas of complexity and chaos, a significant focus will be on the role of partial differential equations (PDEs) in modeling and understanding nonlinear phenomena. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, soliton theory, wave propagation, biomathematics, turbulence, and pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems. We also encourage studies on numerical methods for solving PDEs that exhibit chaotic behavior, as well as innovative analytical techniques that provide deeper insights into the stability and long-term behavior of these systems.

Through this special issue, we aim to showcase how modern advancements in nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory can lead to a better understanding of complex systems and foster the development of novel technologies and methodologies. Given the diverse range of studies, we hope to stimulate further research and collaboration in this continually evolving field.

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.
