Aims, scope and focus
The SMAI Journal of Computational Mathematics is published by Centre Mersenne. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Advanced Numerical Methods in Computational Mathematics, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamics and Numerical methods for differential equations, together about 44.9% of its articles. Its main subfields are Computational Mechanics, Numerical Analysis and Computational Theory and Mathematics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
SMAI-JCM publishes research articles on the design and analysis of algorithms for computing the numerical solution of mathematical problems arising in applications. Such mathematical problems may be continuous or discrete, deterministic or stochastic, and relevant applications span the sciences, social sciences, engineering, and technology. Papers should address the design and implementation of algorithms, assessment and analysis of errors and uncertainty, and/or computational issues associated to the their implementation, and should represent a significant advance in computational methods or our understanding of them. Computational results should usually be included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques and/or their interest for applications. In particular, SMAI-JCM welcomes articles addressing: Computational linear and nonlinear algebra Numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential equations Discrete and continuous optimization and control Computational geometry and topology Image and signal processing Processing of large data sets Numerical aspects of probability and statistics; assessment of uncertainties in computational simulations Computational issues arising in the simulation of physical or biological phenomenon, engineering, the social sciences or other applications Computational issues arising from new computer technologies This website hosts the electronic edition of the journal.
