About the Journal

Aims and Scope

The interdisciplinary journal publishes original and new results on recent developments, discoveries and progress in discontinuity, nonlinearity and complexity in physical and social sciences. The aim of the journal is to stimulate more research interest in the exploration of discontinuity, complexity, nonlinearity and chaos in complex systems. Manuscripts in dynamical systems with nonlinearity and chaos are solicited, including mathematical theories and methods, physical principles and laws, and computational techniques. The journal provides a place for researchers to exchange ideas and techniques in discontinuity, complexity, nonlinearity and chaos in physical and social sciences.

No length limitations for contributions are set, but only concisely written manuscripts are published. Brief papers are published on the basis of technical notes. Discussions of previously published papers are welcome.
