Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetries appear in a number of phenomena in nature and science and thus are either the object of study or a requirement when engineering applications are developed. This happens in many scientific and engineering fields including, inter alia, aerospace, agricultural, civil, design, electronic, or mechanical engineering. Sometimes the reason is purely aesthetic to enhance the final perception of the product or construction, quite commonly it is an economical reason as this may lower the design and production costs, but on occasion it is a need, for instance, for aerodynamical reasons.
On the other hand, symmetries also do appear under different features in functional analysis. Sometimes researchers have studied if a given property is kept in a symmetric way under different structural properties, for instance, when continuous linear forms are exchanged with continuous seminorms while studying weak barrelledness conditions. In another setting, quite commonly the symmetric property has been relaxed, for instance, in the definition of metric spaces to obtain some interesting generalizations. However, on occasion the symmetry itself is a requirement, such as in symmetric groups theory.
The study of symmetry is thus a matter of interest in mathematics, engineering, and other scientific fields, opening new lines of research where mathematical tools have been used and developed.
This Special Issue focuses on the most recent advances in functional analysis, engineering, and arising in all fields of science, engineering applications, and other applied fields where symmetry is tackled.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
