Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The notion of fractional calculus was born in the year 1695 when L’Hospital had a letter containing a thoughtful question for Leibniz. Though fractional calculus has been a topic of top-level mathematicians for a long period, presently it has become an important tool for studying the dynamics of several complex systems, which occur in different applications of science and engineering. Nowadays, the concept of fractional calculus, especially the concept of fractional order derivative has been applied to various basic information measures in order to introduce fractional order information measures. It has been noticed by researchers that the new concept of fractional order entropy has performed well, even better in some situations in comparing non-fractional order entropy measures. This Special Issue aims to promote the development of the concept of fractional calculus to information theory and its application in practice. Researchers working in this interdisciplinary field are welcome to submit their original research articles as well as review articles. The researchers may submit their papers continuously before the deadline. The articles will be selected after a peer-review process based on their quality.

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. Axioms 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 2400 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.
