Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonlinear diffusion equations have been of considerable interest in the study of a variety of diffusion phenomena appeared widely in nature. As an important class of parabolic equations, they are suggested as mathematical models of physical problems in many fields, such as filtration, phase transition, biochemistry, and dynamics of biological groups. Today, research on nonlinear diffusion equations is extensive and in-depth. This Special Issue is devoted to recent investigations of nonlinear diffusion equations. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: nonlinear partial differential equation from physics and biology; well-posedness of the model; asymptotic behavior of solutions; blow-up phenomena. Please note that all submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Symmetry journal.

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.
