Soft Computing - Call for Papers: 4th International Conference “Numerical Computations: Theory and Algorithms NUMTA 2023"

CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS

This special issue of Soft Computing will include high-quality peer-reviewed research papers dealing with advanced areas in modern applied mathematics and computer science. Most of the articles of this special issue will come from the Fourth Triennial International Conference and Summer School NUMTA-2023 'Numerical Computations: Theory and Algorithms' to be held in the small village of Pizzo Calabro in the South of Italy in June 14-20, 2023. The NUMTA-2023 conference will continue the previous successful editions of NUMTA that took place in 2013, 2016, and 2019 in Italy in the beautiful Calabria region.

The goal of the series of NUMTA Conferences is to create a multidisciplinary round table for an open discussion on numerical modeling by using traditional and emerging computational paradigms. Special attention is also dedicated to numerical optimization techniques, approximation, and ordinary differential equations. A variety of issues related to theory and practice of the usage of infinities and infinitesimals in numerical computations is studied intensively during these research events. Among the topics discussed during the conferences, there are also problems regarding teaching mathematics.

Topics of Interest
The topics of interest for this SI include, but are not limited to:

• Soft computing
• Theory of algorithms
• Unconventional computing
• Universality and relativity in language and mathematics
