Special Issue “CMMSE 2020” in Mathematical Methods in
the Applied Sciences (MMA)
The aim of this special issue is to provide a deep look into today's challenging mathematical and technological problems.
The authors examine and present innovative and rigorous solutions to a wide range of topics in the field of applied
mathematics and engineering, including quantum cryptography, fuzzy logic, physics, and more.
These studies demonstrate the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the combination of mathematical and
technological approaches in solving the most complex problems of our time. Each of the articles is an example of the
dedication of researchers in seeking effective and sustainable solutions to novel problems in science.
For instance, in [1], the authors develop a quantum key distribution protocol, a method for secure communication, on
qudits, to deal with the problem of cryptography systems in terms of quantum computing. The authors present a solution
using quantum operators to achieve a secure key distribution on these systems.
In [2], the focus is on fuzzy logic, a branch of mathematics that allows for the creation of more flexible and adaptable
systems that can better handle the uncertainty and complexity of real-world problems. Specifically, in this work they
provide a first notion of inconsistency by means of the absence of models, and they define two measures of consistency
that belong purely to the fuzzy paradigm.
The articles [3, 4] and [5] present important advances in mathematical methods applied to biology and physics.The
first deals with the Keller-Segel model, a mathematical model used to describe the movement of biological organisms.
The second presents a direct method for finding solutions to split quaternion matrix equations, which is an important
mathematical equation used to model physical systems. And the last one provides a method for determining the integra-
bility of GL(2,R)invariant fourth-order ordinary differential equations, which is crucial for understanding the behavior
of physical systems modeled by these equations.
Lastly, the work[6] provides a solution for controlling multi-input linear systems using Kalman reduced form and state
feedback. The authors apply this solution over Hermite rings, a type of mathematical ring, to achieve a more effective
control of the system.
In summary, these articles are a testament to the importance of scientific research and technological innovation in
seeking solutions to the most complex problems we face today.
