Symmetry/Asymmetry in Robust Chaos and Chaotification–Theory and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

For decades, chaos has attracted the attention of scientists from various fields of interest. As a result, countless works, both theoretical and applied, present new chaotic systems, both continuous and discrete. However, in many areas, it is not enough for a system to be chaotic. It is also required that chaotic systems meet additional assumptions. One of them is the absence of so-called periodic windows. This assumption leads directly to systems that we call robust chaos.

This SI is devoted to issues related to robust chaos. It also concerns so-called chaotification methods, i.e., techniques for improving the properties of existing chaotic systems or constructing new systems with chaotic behavior. In addition, this SI will be of particular interest to works that concern chaotic systems that do not generate stable solutions in their dynamics, e.g., fixed points. Both theoretical works and those showing applications related to robust chaos and chaotification are welcome. Among the applications, works on using robust chaos in encryption will receive special attention, but those from other areas are also welcome.

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.
