Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational optimization and operations research are dynamic fields that feature exciting advancements which are shaping the future of related fields, with applications across industries. Some recent developments and advanced topics include machine learning and AI integration, quantum computing, graph theory and network analysis, numerical methods for big data, healthcare operations and sustainability, and energy optimization. Many mathematical prediction models using sophisticated optimization and computational techniques have also been developed in other related fields including public health and government administration, especially for the modeling of strategic decision making and supply chain analytics. I invite you to submit your latest research to this Special Issue. Papers exploiting new developments in optimization and applied mathematics, particularly in computational optimization or operations research, are welcome.

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.
