Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding and ultimately controlling complex systems usually necessitates the development of appropriate mathematical models to elucidate their properties and the inner workings. For this Special Issue, graph-like models are of specific interest together with associated models of stochastic events and other random effects that define the behavior and responses of complex dynamic systems. The papers submitted to this Special Issue can present fundamental contributions to the theory of graph-like random processes, or be more applied in their nature, for instance, derive the properties of information and disease spreading over networks, obtain the fundamental limits of object flows through networks, and consider other relevant applications such as object tracking in networks, synchronization in networks, time evolution of networks, stochastic inference of parameters and structure in networks, trade-offs, and optimization of network models and similar. In order to fit the scope of this Special Issue, the submitted papers will be expected to investigate (1) a graph-like model, (2) the model to inherit some stochastic aspects, and (3) the model to reflect some dynamic properties of the selected system.

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.
