In recent years, there has been a growing interest in dynamical systems described by fractional differential equations. This interest spans the works of many authors from various fields of science and engineering. Fractional differential equations are generalization of ordinary differential equations to arbitrary (noninteger) order. Fractional differential equations capture nonlocal relations in space and time with power law memory kernels. Intense work around the world is uncovering many new theoretical analysis and numerical methods for solving fractional dynamic systems.

We invite authors to present original research articles as well as review articles in the area of fractional dynamic systems. This special issue will become an international forum for researchers to present the most recent developments and ideas in the field. The Scientific World Journal is a peer-reviewed, open access journal, meaning that all interested readers will be able to freely access the journal online without the need for a subscription. All published articles will be made available on PubMed Central and indexed in PubMed at the time of publication. Moreover, the journal currently has an Impact Factor of 1.730. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Mathematical models of fractional dynamical systems
• Theoretical analysis of fractional dynamical systems
• Numerical methods for fractional dynamical systems
• Fractional image processing
• Bifurcation and chaos of fractional differential systems
• Fractional stochastic dynamical systems
• Fractional dynamics and control

Before submission, authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/tswj/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/tswj/mathematical.analysis/fds/ according to the following timetable:
