Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications is published by John Wiley and Sons Ltd and is in Zone 3 of Mathematics in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Matrix Theory and Algorithms, Advanced Numerical Methods in Computational Mathematics and Electromagnetic Scattering and Analysis, together about 49.9% of its articles. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications receives submissions in areas that address developing, analysing and applying linear algebra algorithms for solving problems arising in linear and multilinear (tensor) algebra, in statistics, such as Markov Chains, as well as in deterministic and stochastic modelling of large-scale networks, algorithm development, performance analysis or related computational aspects, also presenting Machine learning (ML) and AI-based solution approaches that outperform established numerical linear algebra methods on realistic, large-scale application problems, utilization of ML within a numerical linear algebra framework that enables the solution of real-life problems otherwise intractable with known numerical linear algebra algorithms. Manuscripts submitted to Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications should include large-scale broad-interest applications in which challenging computational results are integral to the approach investigated and analysed. This requirement holds in particular for papers targeting multilinear/tensor algebra, fractional derivatives and other nonlinear and optimization problems, where the emphasis should not be only on the theory that may be already sufficiently mature but it is expected that their focus be shifted to applications serving the research and the practice of the scientific and engineering community. Manuscripts that, in the Editors' view, do not satisfy these conditions will be returned without review. Topics covered include: Standard and Generalized Conjugate Gradients, Multigrid and Other Iterative Methods; Preconditioning Methods; Direct Solution Methods; Numerical Methods for Eigenproblems; Newton-like Methods for Nonlinear Equations; Parallel and Vectorizable Algorithms in Numerical Linear Algebra; Application of Methods of Numerical Linear Algebra in Science, Engineering and Economics.

Fees & open access
APC and open-access policy
Hybrid open accessLetPub
A subscription journal in which authors can pay to publish their article open access.
| Source | APC | Fee waiver | License | Observed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAlex | USD 4,880 / EUR 4,030 / GBP 3,240 | — | — | |
| Publisher website | Yes, amount not published | — | — |
A hybrid journal charges the APC only when the author chooses open access; publishing under the subscription model is usually free.
The journal's website is authoritative for fees; sources were observed at different times and each keeps its own value, without averaging.
