Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Operations research is an applied science focused on formulating and solving quantitative decision problems in a wide variety of areas, such as operations management, transportation and logistics, telecommunications, energy generation and distribution, financing, healthcare, and public services management, among others. This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform to disseminate recent research in this field, both theoretical and applied, in the most distinct operations research application areas. Submissions including new theoretical results, models and algorithms, and new applications are welcome. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Integer linear programming and combinatorial optimization problems;
- Exact integer and combinatorial solving methods and techniques: branch-and-bound, brunch-and-cut, decomposition-based methods, reformulations, linearizations;
- Approximated solving methods: heuristics, meta-heuristics, metaheuristics, and model-based metaheuristics for integer and combinatorial optimization problems; hybridized approaches;
- Real-world OR applications in industry and services: operations management, supply chain management, logistics and transportation, production planning, scheduling, energy, telecommunications, location, and healthcare.

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.
