Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical solitons are commonly known in all-optical ultrafast switching systems and the protracted communication after being conceived and validated practically. As a result, it has piqued the interest of a majority of nonlinear optics researchers. In diverse sectors, such as applied sciences, mathematical photonics, nonlinear wave propagation, and plasma physics, partial differential equations (PDEs) can be employed to quantify a plethora of dynamical systems. The quest for their numerical and analytical solutions provides the most insightful discussion about these equations and the nonlinear physical phenomena they are linked to.
In interacting systems, symmetry is frequently utilized to establish conservation principles and to create forbidden/allowed transitions. Symmetries are commonly employed in the field of nonlinear optics to identify whether a specific nonlinear process is permitted or prohibited based on the point group of the medium.
Our primary driving force behind this Special Issue is to look for various wave shapes for the PDEs' achieved solutions. To accomplish our objective, we use different analytical or numerical techniques to identify several analytical (or numerical) solutions, such as solitary, kink-soliton, anti-kink soliton, shock, dark-soliton, bright-soliton, and elliptic wave solutions. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): nonlinear optics, wave transmission and propagation in homogeneous and inhomogeneous materials, and optical properties of materials.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
