Symmetry in Mathematical Modelling: Topics and Advances

Dear Colleagues,

As a universal phenomenon in nature, symmetry has attracted the attention of scholars. Symmetry has been found in physics, chemistry, biology, finance, and mathematics. The study of symmetry provides insights into these subjects. Mathematical models are an important method of studying real-world systems. The symmetry reflected by such mathematical models reveals the inherent symmetry of real-world systems. It is of practical significance to study such symmetry phenomena. Many directions of mathematics involve symmetry problems. For example, chaotic attractors often display symmetric topology. Many systems of differential equations, such as impulsive differential equations, stochastic impulsive differential equations, and fractional differential equations, also have symmetry properties. Moreover, many models based on game theory exhibit symmetry.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for scholars to present the latest research on mathematical modelling related to symmetry.

The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to mathematical modelling, nonlinear dynamics, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, impulsive differential equations, random impulsive differential equations, biomathematics, financial mathematics, chaos, artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks, and data analysis.

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.
