Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mathematical modeling is a valuable tool in understanding the dynamics of infectious diseases (such as the coronavirus disease COVID-19). This involves using mathematical equations to represent the transmission and control of infectious diseases at the population level. The mathematical analysis of continuous models, the construction of their various time-discrete variants, and the solving of appropriate inverse problems are important tools for uncovering the behaviors over time of many crucial parameters that characterize the diseases’ dynamics. These models are essential for assessing the effectiveness of vaccination strategies, determining the best vaccination ages and target groups, and predicting future growth patterns of infectious diseases.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of research and review articles that address the development of novel mathematical modeling and its applications.

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.
