Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Whether truly random or pseudo random, the generators of random numbers have many daily applications in simulations, digital analysis, cryptography, and decision support. They can be studied according to different criteria: Are they cryptographically safe? What is their period? What is the complexity of Kolmogorov? How many bits are generated per unit of time? Which area would be taken by their physical implementation on a logic circuit such as an FPGA? How do they behave in the most stringent statistical tests such as TESTU01?
This Special Issue is expected to be published in 2019. It is aimed at providing state-of-the-art publications of refereed, high-quality, original research papers in all fields of Random Number Generation and its applications including (without being limited to) the following:
- pseudorandom number generator algorithms;
- true random number generator methods;
- analysis (theoretical or practical evaluation) of random number generators;
- the physical implementation of random number generators;
- use cases of pseudorandom number generators in 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. Mathematical and Computational Applications 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 1400 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.
