Full scope of the Special Issue: 

This Special Issue in Computers & Mathematics with Applications (CAMWA) is devoted to full research-paper contributions arising from the ACOMEN2025 conference. ACOMEN2025 provides an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present, discuss, and advance the latest developments in computational and applied mathematics across a broad spectrum of engineering and scientific applications. The Special Issue is intended to reflect the full scientific breadth and interdisciplinary character of the conference, showcasing innovative methodologies, emerging trends, and impactful applications.

Computational and applied mathematics have become essential to the modelling, simulation, and optimisation of complex systems in modern science and engineering. This Special Issue will highlight state-of-the-art approaches as well as new challenges in theory, numerical methods, and high-performance implementations. Contributions are welcome that address both fundamental advances and real-world applications.

The main topics include, but are not limited to:

    Applied and computational mathematics;
    Computational solid and fluid mechanics;
    Computational material science and electromagnetism;
    Computational natural sciences, biomechanics, and bioengineering;
    Data-driven and AI-enhanced modelling;
    Fluid–structure interaction and coupled multi-physics problems;
    High-performance scientific computing and scalable algorithms;
    Inverse and ill-posed problems;
    Machine learning and model-reduction techniques;
    New and emerging discretisation and numerical methods;
    Numerical analysis and error estimation;
