Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The search for exact solutions of differential equations continues unabated. Perhaps this is because when constructed, exact solutions may be used to benchmark numerical schemes, and in addition, these solutions can give insight into real-world processes or phenomena. Lie symmetry techniques provide a systematic tool that can be used to construct invariant (exact) solutions. This Special Issue is devoted to the analysis of applied linear and nonlinear differential equations arising in different physical phenomena. Papers in the applications of, but not limited to, point symmetries, nonclassical symmetries, conservations laws, Noether symmetries, and group classification will be considered for publication in this Special Issue.

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.
