Manuscripts should preferably be submitted via the Web submission site only.
Please note that Applied Mathematics and Computation considers only computationally oriented articles or application articles in areas △outside△ the traditional domains of physics and engineering. Furthermore, Applied Mathematics and Computation does not consider papers on cryptography.
Upon acceptance of an article by the journal, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information under the U.S. Copyright Law.
The manuscript should be organized as follows:
Title page: Include title, authors, affiliations of authors, and address for correspondence and proofs. If the title exceeds 45 characters, include a short running title.
Abstract: Include a short one -paragraph abstract of up to 200 words (or, in the case of a very long paper, 300 words).
Keywords: Include a list of 5 to 10 keywords or phrases that best describe the overall contents of the article for indexing and retrieval purposes.
Notation: Use typewritten letters, numbers, and symbols wherever possible. Identify special symbols when they first occur, including boldface, script letters, etc. Distinguish between the Arabic number "1" and the letter "l" and between zero and the letter "O", capital or lower case, whenever confusion might result.
Tables: Should be typed on separate sheets. Arabic numerals should be used in numbering tables.
References: Citation of references in the text is indicated by full-sized bracketed numbers, i.e., [1]. References should be listed at the end of the article in the ORDER CITED in the text, and should conform to the following style.

Figures. Illustrations should be submitted as original line drawings or glossy photostats of originals, as professionally done as possible, complete and ready for photoreproduction. Lettering and data points should be large enough so when reduced to fit on the journal page (4 5/16 in. width x 7 in. depth maximum) they can be read with ease. Figure captions should appear on a separate sheet.
Web Submission Site:Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their papers electronically by using online manuscript submission at http://ees.elsevier.com/amc. At the same time, it should be emphasized that either submission via the online (preferred) or hardcopy submission should be made, but not both. Authors interested in online submission are requested to go to the website and upload their manuscript and its associated artwork. An electronic (PDF) proof is generated and the reviewing process is carried out using that PDF. It is crucial that all graphical and tabular elements be placed within the text, so that the PDF is suitable for reviewing. This will also allow the preferred position of placement to be indicated; however please note that due to journal conventions, it may not be possible to meet all requirements for placement of artwork. Moreover, the PDF file may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards. Authors and editors send and receive all correspondence by email via the website and no paper correspondence is performed.
Proofs. The corresponding author receives proofs, which should be corrected and returned to the Publisher within 48 hours of receipt. Page charges and reprints. There are no page charges. The corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use. Additional paper offprints can be ordered by the authors. An order form with prices will be sent to the corresponding author.For complete up-to-date addresses of Editors please check the link to the Editorial Board at the beginning of these instructions.
