Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The importance of nonlinear analysis in mathematics and applications is nowadays obvious, and there is still a growing number of new papers in this area. Topological methods have proven themselves to be very powerful tools in this area from the very beginning. We encourage you to submit research and review papers focused on both novelties in methods and applications in various areas of nonlinear mathematics. Both single-valued and set-valued operators are of interest, as well as special types of solutions of differential and integral equations and inclusions, symmetry properties, and similar phenomena, which can be treated by topological means. Results on the dynamic and asymptotic properties of solutions to ODE and PDE 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.

The main aim of this article is two-fold: (i) to generalize into a multivalued setting the classical Ivanov theorem about the lower estimate of a topological entropy in terms of the asymptotic Nielsen numbers, and (ii) to apply the related inequality for admissible pairs to impulsive differential equations and inclusions on tori. In case of a positive topological entropy, the obtained result can be regarded as a nontrivial contribution to deterministic chaos for multivalued impulsive dynamics. Full article

Consider the Euclidean space Rn with the orthogonal action of a compact Lie group G. We prove that a locally Lipschitz G-invariant mapping f from Rn to R can be uniformly approximated by G-invariant smooth mappings g in such a way that the gradient of g is a graph approximation of Clarkés generalized gradient of f. This result enables a proper development of equivariant gradient degree theory for a class of set-valued gradient mappings. Full article

A Fixed-Point Approach to the Hyers–Ulam Stability of Caputo–Fabrizio Fractional Differential Equations
by Kui Liu, Michal Fečkan and JinRong Wang
Mathematics 2020, 8(4), 647; https://doi.org/10.3390/math8040647 - 22 Apr 2020

Abstract
In this paper, we study Hyers–Ulam and Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of nonlinear Caputo–Fabrizio fractional differential equations on a noncompact interval. We extend the corresponding uniqueness and stability results on a compact interval. Two examples are given to illustrate our main results. Full article
