Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 17th international Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (ICNAAM 2019) will take place in Rhodes, Greece, on 23–28 September 2019.

The International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (ICNAAM 2019) has successfully been held for the last fifteen years. ICNAAM provides an international meeting point to share and discuss the latest research and knowledge in numerical analysis and applied mathematics. It aims to bring together computational and applied mathematicians across the globe, including researchers at the early stages of their careers and others who are very well-known in their field. With the fast development of computational sciences and engineering, ICNAAM has witnessed an exponential growth of mathematical sciences and an unprecedentedly broad range of real-life applications of mathematics and numerical analysis.

Topics to be covered include (but are not limited to) all the research areas of numerical analysis and computational mathematics as well as those of applied and industrial mathematics.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

In the present study paper, a failure (hazard) rate function approximates the probability distribution for the linear combination of a random variable considered a highly complex model. The saddlepoint approximation approach is used to approximate the probability mass function and the cumulative distribution function to derive the approximation of the failure (hazard) rate with a high level of accuracy. The superior performance of this method is shown by numerical simulations and comparison with the performance of other approximation methods. Full article

In this paper, we show how the longest non-decreasing subsequence, identified in the graph of the paired marginal ranks of the observations, allows the construction of a statistic for the development of an independence test in bivariate vectors. The test works in the case of discrete and continuous data. Since the present procedure does not require the continuity of the variables, it expands the proposal introduced in Independence tests for continuous random variables based on the longest increasing subsequence (2014). We show the efficiency of the procedure in detecting dependence in real cases and through simulations. Full article

The paper is focused on Taylor series expansion for statistical analysis of functions of random variables with special attention to correlated input random variables.

The paper is focused on Taylor series expansion for statistical analysis of functions of random variables with special attention to correlated input random variables. It is shown that the standard approach leads to significant deviations in estimated variance of non-linear functions. Moreover, input random variables are often correlated in industrial applications; thus, it is crucial to obtain accurate estimations of partial derivatives by a numerical differencing scheme. Therefore, a novel methodology for construction of Taylor series expansion of increasing complexity of differencing schemes is proposed and applied on several analytical examples. The methodology is adapted for engineering applications by proposed asymmetric difference quotients in combination with a specific step-size parameter. It is shown that proposed differencing schemes are suitable for functions of correlated random variables. Finally, the accuracy, efficiency, and limitations of the proposed methodology are discussed.

In this paper, we construct four numerical methods to solve the Burgers–Huxley equation with specified initial and boundary conditions. The four methods are two novel versions of nonstandard finite difference schemes (NSFD1 and NSFD2), explicit exponential finite difference method (EEFDM) and fully implicit exponential finite difference method (FIEFDM). These two classes of numerical methods are popular in the mathematical biology community and it is the first time that such a comparison is made between nonstandard and exponential finite difference schemes. Moreover, the use of both nonstandard and exponential finite difference schemes are very new for the Burgers–Huxley equations. We considered eleven different combination for the parameters controlling diffusion, advection and reaction, which give rise to four different regimes. We obtained stability region or condition for positivity. The performances of the four methods are analysed by computing absolute errors, relative errors, L 1 and L errors and CPU time. Full article
