Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The applications of fractional calculus in many fields of applied sciences have attracted the increasing interest of many researchers in recent years. Anomalous behavior can be regarded as the common property of a wide class of phenomena. Such a class includes motions on irregular (or non-homogeneous) domains and motions driven by fractional equations, including also those equations arising from the constitutive relation of materials with memory.
Applications in engineering, social dynamics, and economy also demand for increasingly accurate differential control models, stability analysis, control design, and optimization techniques.
This Special Issue aims to gather recent contributions in mathematical modeling, fractional calculus, control theory for ordinary, partial and fractional differential equations, and their applications.

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.
