Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Functional Analysis and Fixed Points," aims to bring together recent advances in fixed-point theory and its deep connections with various branches of functional analysis. Fixed-point theory is a cornerstone of nonlinear analysis, providing essential tools for establishing the existence and uniqueness of solutions to equations arising in differential equations, optimization, variational inequalities, and economics. We invite original research articles and survey papers that explore new fixed-point theorems in metric, topological, and ordered spaces, their applications within functional analysis, and novel interactions with operator theory, the geometry of Banach spaces, and nonlinear spectral theory.

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.
