Fractional Calculus, the art of noninteger order integrals and derivatives, has gained an interesting momentum in recent years. The applications are ranging from pure and applied mathematics to medicine. It is easy to find experts working on this field because of its beauty, while others look for applications. With all these in mind, the special issue is mainly focused on the fractional calculus and its applications in applied mathematics and other sciences and solicits high- quality research work in any branch of sciences, thereby contributing to an interdisciplinary collaboration. The main aim of this special issue is to provide impetus, motivation and to bring together researchers and scientists working in the fields of fractional calculus by providing a forum for the academic exchange of ideas and recent research works. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Generalized fractional integrals and derivatives
• Fractional population dynamics models
• Fractional signal processing
• Fractional image processing
• Fractional Euler-Lagrange equations
• Fractional control applications
• Fractional transformations
• Fractional differential equations, ODE, PDE, and SDE
• Existence and uniqueness results
• Fractional calculus applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and other sciences
• Other relevant topics
