Seventh International Conference "Modern Trends in Science"

South-West University "Neofit Rilski",
Faculty of Mathematics & Natural Sciences,
Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, 14 - 18 June, 2017

Dear Reader,

This special issue collects selected papers, presented in sections "Mathematics" and "Informatics" during the Seventh International Conference "Modern Trends in Science" (FMNS-2017), which held from 14th till 18th June 2017 in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. The conference was organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at South-West University "Neofit Rilski", Blagoevgrad.

The main objective of FMNS-2017 was to provide a platform for researchers, working in different fields of natural sciences, to report their current research achievements, to exchange new ideas and experiences, to create new contacts and to find global partners for future cooperation. More than 140 researchers from Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Greece, Kazakhstan, Poland, Republic of Macedonia, Russia and United Kingdom attended the conference. Two prominent mathematicians - Acad. Julian Revalski (President of Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) and Prof. Armen Sergeev (Vice-President of European Mathematical Society), presented attractive plenary lectures, devoted to the interrelations between mathematics and other sciences. Most of the reported research during the oral and poster sessions also outlined the interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity as major trends of the modern science.

On behalf of the Organizing committee of the Seventh International Conference FMNS-2017 I would like to express our gratitude to the Ministry of Education and Science and the National Science Fund of Bulgaria for the provided financial support.

We gratefully use the chance to disseminate a part of the reported achievements in the field of mathematics and informatics among the audience of this journal.

Prof. Mario Mitov,
Chairman of the Organizing Committee of FMNS-2017
