Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Due to the advancement of technology, many challenging practically significant real world problems emerge. These problems arise in a wide range of disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, core engineering (civil, chemical, electrical and mechanical), biology, defence and computer sciences. They can often be formulated as optimization or control problems, and hence, methodologies and techniques in optimization and control are clearly indispensable for solving these problems. Due to the existence of symmetry in certain systems in nature and engineering, many mathematical models and optimization problems arising possess some form of symmetry. For example, in some constrained optimization problems, certain variables appear symmetrically in the objective and constraint functions. The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish a selection of original high-quality papers, presenting substantial novel latest research achievements in optimization and control with application to important real-world engineering problems involving complex systems. It is expected that the solution methods will be based on advanced theory, methodologies and techniques from optimization and control. Submitted papers are also expected to be within the general scope of the journal.
The focus of this Special Issue is on the advancement of mathematically rigorous computational techniques, engineering mathematics and real world engineering applications in areas listed below:
- Dynamical systems and control
- Optimization and optimal control
- Inverse problems
- Modelling and optimization of complex systems

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.
