《數值泛函分析與優化》是一本研究泛函分析與算子理論方法在數值分析、優化與逼近理論、控制理論、信號與圖像處理、逆問題與不適定問題、應用與計算調和分析、算子方程、非線性泛函分析等方面的發展與應用的期刊。并非所有這些領域聯盟內的高質量論文都屬于NFAO的范圍。通過為應用程序中出現的問題提供新的見解和重要的結果，可以顯著地推進其領域和增強具體內容的概括和抽象是受歡迎的。另一方面，為了粉飾應用程序或已知結果和算法的變體而進行的技術概括并不適合本雜志。《數值泛函分析與優化》每年發表論文70余篇。我們目前的政策是，每兩年只考慮一位作者/合著者提交的一篇論文。開創性論文除外。

Numerical Functional Analysis and Optimization is a journal aimed at development and applications of functional analysis and operator-theoretic methods in numerical analysis, optimization and approximation theory, control theory, signal and image processing, inverse and ill-posed problems, applied and computational harmonic analysis, operator equations, and nonlinear functional analysis. Not all high-quality papers within the union of these fields are within the scope of NFAO. Generalizations and abstractions that significantly advance their fields and reinforce the concrete by providing new insight and important results for problems arising from applications are welcome. On the other hand, technical generalizations for their own sake with window dressing about applications, or variants of known results and algorithms, are not suitable for this journal. Numerical Functional Analysis and Optimization publishes about 70 papers per year. It is our current policy to limit consideration to one submitted paper by any author/co-author per two consecutive years. Exception will be made for seminal papers.
