Results in Applied Mathematics (RINAM) is a gold open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of applied mathematics.Results in Applied Mathematics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the mathematics community. The journal also publish survey papers. However, survey papers will be considered only with prior approval from the editor-in-chief and should provide additional insights into the topic surveyed rather than a mere compilation of known results. Topics such as Numerical Methods for PDEs, Numerical Linear Algebra, Stochastic Systems, Mathematical Modelling with PDEs, Machine Learning for PDEs are covered by the journal.Results in Applied Mathematics welcomes two types of papers:Full research papersMicroarticles: very short papers, no longer than 6 pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as:Data and/or a plot plus a descriptionDescription of a new method or instrumentationNegative results/counterexamplesConcept or design studyThis article type will allow the Mathematics community to publish snippets of research that have not matured into a complete study and that have not found a publication home yet.All submitted manuscripts are fully peer-reviewed and after acceptance, a publication fee is charged to cover all editorial, production, and archiving costs.Accepted papers are freely accessible to anyone.
