Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Applied mathematics enables the transformation of available real-world data and observations into mathematical structures and theoretical concepts. The obtained mathematical models are powerful investigation instruments for exploring the underlying principles of real systems and for tackling open problems in the natural sciences, particularly in physics, biology, and medicine. These models are valuable descriptive tools that shed light on the inner mechanisms of intricate biological systems. They also offer reliable predictions about the future behavior of the real systems and their responses to various external stimuli. Additionally, the control theory equips researchers with the essential tools to design effective, sometimes optimal, inputs for managing the behavior of these models. This aspect allows scientists to support decision-makers in devising intervention strategies for the management of emergencies in public health and for the treatment of pathological conditions in medicine.
The increasing volume of scholarly articles on mathematical modeling and control in biology serves as strong evidence of the growing influence of this research field on biomedicine and public health. This Special Issue is dedicated to gathering innovative contributions from experienced researchers in the realm of mathematical modeling and control theory as applied to biology and medicine. We welcome original research papers and reviews.

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.
