Symmetry in Fractional Derivatives, Fractional Equations and Fractional Order Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The study of fractional differential equations and their applications has had a long history with achievements and challenges, and continues to stand among the mainstays of contemporary mathematics. We know that symmetry is a fundamental phenomenon in nature and all sciences. There are many symmetry problems in ordinary differential equations, such as Lie symmetry and radial symmetry. The aim of this Special Issue in Symmetry is to study all kinds of symmetry problems in fractional differential equations, for example, radial symmetry of solutions for fractional parabolic equations. It will be devoted to topics in fractional differential equations, fractional order systems, and their advanced applications.

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-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.
