Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers to contribute their results with respect to improved mathematical methods in dealing with decision-making problems. The main research trend is to develop new models and novel solution procedures, but many of them are not well examined through rigorously mathematical examination. We aim to fill this research gap to present several improvements for incomplete solution processes. It is difficult to revise those existing solution procedures; if an original problem is too difficult, no one can decide which one will be the optimal solution. Sometimes, a maximum problem only has supreme value but without having the maximum value, such that none of the derived value obtained by numerical approaches can be declared to be the optimal solution. To locate a suitable incomplete solution process and then provide amended improvement is similar to catching a specific kind of fish in the river. We invite practitioners to contribute their mathematical findings to prove the existence or the uniqueness of optimal solutions for those incomplete solution procedures under a sound mathematical standard.

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.
