The open-access journal “Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications (NOLTA), IEICE” (indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals, https://doaj.org/toc/2185-4106) with a Journal Impact Factor of 0.6 (provided by Clarivate in June 2025) welcomes you to submit papers for the Special Section on Recent Progress in Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications, which will be included in the issue published in July, 2026. The special section invites papers particularly from, but not restricted to, researchers who presented their original works in the 2025 International Symposium on Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications (NOLTA 2025, Okinawa, Japan, October 27–31, 2025; https://nolta2025.org/). The major part of this Special Section will address recent progress in the field of nonlinear theory and its applications. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Nonlinear Phenomena
  - Chaos and Bifurcation
  - Oscillation and Synchronization
  - Chemical Reaction  
• Computational Intelligence
  - Neural Networks
  - Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence
  - Evolutionary Computation

• Engineering Applications
  - Nonlinear Circuits and Systems
  - Control Systems - Communication Networks and Systems
  - Signal Processing
  - Applied Mathematics 
• Complex Networks/Systems
  - Large Scale Networks
  - Social Dynamics
  - Neuro Dynamics
  - Mathematical Economics 

The papers will be handled by the editorial committee of the Special Section and peer-reviewed under the same editorial policy as regular papers in NOLTA, IEICE. The deadline for the paper submission is January 17, 2026. Eligible authors are requested to carefully follow the submission process:
