Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of symmetry provides crucial structural properties that simplify complex analytical challenges across mathematics. Currently, the intersection of symmetric spaces and the fixed point theory is highly significant, serving as a foundational tool for solving nonlinear problems, variational inequalities and advanced optimization models. This Special Issue explores theoretical and algorithmic advancements in this dynamic field. We invite original research and reviews focusing on the existence and approximation of fixed points within symmetric environments, such as metric spaces, Banach spaces and Hadamard manifolds. We specifically welcome studies on novel iterative algorithms—including proximal methods and nonexpansive mappings—and their convergence analyses, as well as interdisciplinary applications in applied optimization. This topic aligns perfectly with the scope of the journal Symmetry, as it highlights how symmetric properties inherent in mathematical spaces can be leveraged to develop stable, efficient algorithms and solve complex geometric problems.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
