Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, fractional-order systems have received extensive attention, and the study of dynamic network systems coupled by nodes with fractional-order dynamics has attracted more and more scholars. Certain kinds of fractional-order dynamical networks have been investigated and achieved many outstanding results, such as fractional-order neural networks, fractional-order gene regulatory networks, fractional-order multi-agent systems, etc. Stability, synchronization and consensus are hot topics for these fractional-order networks. This Special Issue focuses on the modeling, dynamic characteristics, and control theory of fractional-order dynamic network systems, as well as their application in practical engineering.
In this Special Issue, we invite review and original research papers dealing with recent developments in the analysis and modeling of fractional-order dynamical networks, as well as practical developments in various science and engineering fields, including mathematics and physics.
This Special Issue will focus on, but not be limited to, the following:
(1) Fractional-order neural networks;
(2) Fractional-order gene regulatory networks;
(3) Fractional-order dynamical networks;
(4) Fractional-order multi-agent systems;
(5) Coupled fractional-order systems;
(6) Synchronization control of fractional-order systems;
(6) Mathematical modeling of fractional complex systems;
(7) Heterogeneous networks.

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.
