Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to submit papers related to all aspects of optimization algorithms, graph theory, network optimization, location problems, fuzzy optimization, optimal control, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and parallel programming from both theoretical and applied perspectives.
Optimization methods are finding more and more applications in all domains and play an essential role when dealing with real-life problems. Algorithms for such problems are being continuously developed and improved in order to obtain higher-quality solutions within a reasonable time frame. Metaheuristic methods inspired from the behavior of populations of different groups of people or from the behavior of swarms of animals or insects are currently used to solve optimization problems where optimal solutions cannot be obtained using exact methods in a reasonable amount of time.

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.
