Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Complex networks are one of the most important objects of investigation in the modern science today, starting with modeled systems including artificial models and neuronal networks and all the way to real networks such as brain functional networks, social graphs, etc. They have many applications, the most widespread of which is using artificial neural networks for classification, recognition, and prediction; restoring brain functional networks for BCI application; modeling spiking neural networks for understanding of different brain dynamics; etc. Even though a lot of research has been carried out in this area, this topic is still relevant for researchers from different fields of science. This Special Issue is devoted to answering the following specific questions:
- Mathematical modeling of complex networks and investigation of their dynamics;
- Restoration of brain functional networks from real data;
- Applications of artificial neural networks;
- Investigation of graph networks and applications of graph neural networks;
- Investigation of adaptation and synchronization in complex networks;
- Application of complex networks for controlling an external system;
- Neuromorphic systems and technologies;
- Biomorphic robotics.
Submissions on any other topics related to the general subject of this Special Issue are also 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.
