Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry and asymmetry are essential features in nonlinear dynamical systems, shaping stability, bifurcations, and emergent behaviors across scientific and socio-technical domains. This Special Issue invites contributions that explore the theoretical, computational, and applied aspects of symmetry and asymmetry in nonlinear systems. Topics include multi-fractal analysis, symmetry-breaking mechanisms, agent-based modeling, networked systems with structural imbalances, and machine learning approaches for nonlinear pattern recognition and early warning. Interdisciplinary studies, ranging from energy and transportation systems to economic and environmental modeling, are welcome. We aim to foster new insights that bridge fundamental theory with real-world complexity, resilience, and sustainable system design.

Manuscript Submission Information
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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
