PREFACE
An International Conference on Applicable Mathematics (ICAM 2016) was organized during November 30 - December 1, 2016, by the Department of Mathematics, Stella Maris College, Chennai, India, which is a reputed autonomous institution of higher education for women and is affiliated to the University of Madras. The conference provided a broad forum for researchers in different fields of Mathematics to present their work related to the rich applicability of the mathematical techniques in a variety of problem areas.
This special issue in International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics is one among the two special Journal publications of the conference ICAM 2016. This special issue consisting of two volumes, which had an open call, consists of forty papers from a selection of papers presented in ICAM 2016, have been accepted after having undergone reviews according to the journal procedure and standards. The papers that qualified to be published range over varied subjects like Algebra, Complex Analysis, Graph Theory, Fuzzy Optimization, Fuzzy Mathematics, Fuzzy Algebra, Automata, Soft set theory, Vague set theory, Mathematical Modeling, Internet of Things, Networking, and Differential Equation.
The Guest editors of this special issue acknowledge with gratitude the Editor in Chief: Prof. Svetoslav Nenov for his ready consent to bring out a special issue in this journal, of the conference ICAM 2016 and for his continuous guidance. The guest editors also thank the Scientific Committee team, for their excellent support in bringing out this special issue. The guest editors also acknowledge the valuable contributions of the reviewers in providing timely reviews of the papers and the authors for their articles to this special issue.
