PREFACE: THEMATIC ISSUE IN MATHEMATICAL BIOLOGY AND APPLIED

EVOLUTIONARY EQUATIONS

NAVEEN K. VAIDYA AND DHRUBA R. ADHIKARI

We are pleased to present the thematic issue entitled “Mathematical Biology and Applied Evolution-

ary Equations” in Mathematics in Applied Sciences and Engineering (MASE). This issue includes some

selected articles from invited authors who presented their research work during the Second International

Conference on Applications of Mathematics to Nonlinear Sciences (http://anmaweb.org/AMNS-2019/)

held on June 27–30, 2019, in Pokhara, Nepal. The primary focus of the AMNS conference series is

to provide a platform for discussion about current advancement of interdisciplinary research on the

applications of mathematics to nonlinear sciences.

This thematic issue attempts to highlight some of the latest research trends in evolutionary equations

and their applications in natural and life sciences. In this regard, the current issue contains a good

mixture of research articles that include the development of theories and formulation of computational

methods as well as applications of differential equations to various fields, including mathematical bi-

ology. The interesting results and open questions presented in this issue may offer opportunities for

further development of advanced evolutionary models and advanced methods for their analysis and

computations.

We are very much thankful to the contributing authors for sharing their research and the referees

for ensuring high quality of this publication. All submissions have gone through a regular peer review

process, leading to the acceptance of these ten papers. We thank all reviewers of these submissions for

their valuable evaluations and comments. We also thank Dr. Xingu Zou for his help and support during

the review process of these articles. Finally, we sincerely thank MASE for publishing this special issue

on it.

We look forward to the continuous support from the global mathematical community for the future

AMNS conferences.
