Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Applied mathematics plays an indispensable role in the fields of gravitation and cosmology. Einstein’s gravitational field equations describing the evolution of the universe are a complicated system of coupled partial differential equations. Solving such equations usually involves assumptions of some sort of symmetry. The study of large-scale structure formation also involves perturbative techniques that need harmonic decomposition and analysis. Dynamical analysis techniques are also becoming increasingly popular in the qualitative descriptions of cosmological solutions. Recent cosmological data have shown that the standard cosmological model based on Einstein’s general relativity theory is somehow incomplete, leading to the formulation of a plethora of modified gravity theories. Any analytical and computational analysis of their cosmological solutions, as these examples seek to demonstrate, ultimately requires the use of applied mathematics.
In this Special Issue, original research and review articles related to the use of applied mathematics in the study of GR-based gravitation and cosmology as well as modified gravitational models will be considered for publication.

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.
