Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Compared with integer calculus, fractional calculus not only has more freedom in modeling real complex systems, but it also possesses some noteworthy features, such as its genetic characteristics, infinite memory, and so on. Therefore, fractional-order networks can better describe the dynamic behaviors of real networks such as fractional-order multirobot systems, coupled fractional-order chaotic systems, coupled fractional-order neural networks, and so on. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide an opportunity for researchers globally to publish both original research and review articles with a focus on fractional-order network systems. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Analysis and control for fractional-order neural networks;
- Analysis and control for fractional-order reaction-diffusion neural networks;
- Cooperative control of fractional-order multiagent systems;
- Analysis and control for fractional-order complex networks;
- 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. Fractal and Fractional 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 2700 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.
