Symmetry in Computational Mathematics and Biophysics

Dear Colleagues,

As a part of the journal Symmetry, whose scope covers theories and applications related to symmetry/asymmetry phenomena in all multidisciplinary studies, this Special Issue is dedicated to demonstrating the strong bond between two research fields, Computational Mathematics and Biophysics, and showcasing the most recently developed mathematical models, numerical methods, and computing algorithms to address questions arising in the field of Biophysics.

Currently, many state-of-art models do not have exact solutions in closed forms due to their complexity. In Biophysics, such models include, but are not limited to, differential equation models in Molecular Biology, Cardia Physiology, Thermal Science, etc. With the rapid advances in modern computer technology, numerical methods have played an important role and become a vital approach to solve those models for accurate approximations of exact solutions. Such numerical methods include, but are not limited to, finite difference methods, finite volume methods, finite element methods, etc. In addition, (parallel) computing algorithms, which are developed to utilize the computing power of modern high-performance computing cluster to accelerate the calculations for solving large-scale problems in Biophysics, have received much attention and naturally fall in the scope of this Special Issue. Original works in all aforementioned areas are welcome in this Special Issue.

We appreciate your consideration to publish your work in this Special Issue.

Submit your paper and select the Journal “Symmetry” and the Special Issue “Symmetry in Computational Mathematics and Biophysics” via: MDPI submission system. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

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.
