Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, interest in variational (interval/fuzzy) analysis and robust control has significantly increased among researchers. Various approaches have been proposed to formulate the necessary and sufficient optimality/efficiency conditions and duality theorems for different classes of robust and interval-valued/fuzzy variational problems.
This third edition of the Special Issue "Variational Problems and Applications" aims to further develop research in this dynamic field. We invite studies focused on uncertain variational problems, particularly those that formulate and demonstrate characterization results of well-posedness and robust efficient solutions. This Special Issue seeks to explore new classes of (multiobjective) variational (control) problems governed by multiple and/or path-independent curvilinear integral cost functionals, as well as robust mixed and/or isoperimetric constraints involving first- and second-order partial differential equations.
We welcome submissions on related subjects, including but not limited to:
- Variational inequalities;
- Evolutionary problems;
- Robust control theory;
- Interval/fuzzy analysis;
- Multiobjective optimization;
- Curvilinear integral cost functionals;
- First- and second-order partial differential equations;
- Isoperimetric constraints.
We invite you to publish your latest research findings in this Special Issue, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the field of variational problems and their applications.
Prof. Dr. Savin Treanta

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.
