Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fixed point theory is one of the most attractive topics in applied science because this direction of research is widely used to design solutions to problems arising from economics and engineering. Once scientists have built their adequate models, mathematicians begin to prove that there are suitable mathematical methods to study the corresponding models. Then, researchers start to find the exact solutions or create some codes to approximate them more quickly and with the smallest possible error. The beauty of metric space lies in the symmetry in its variables, which plays an important role in constructing contractive conditions to ensure the solutions to many problems raised by scientists. The key to new findings in fixed point theory is to enhance the contractive conditions to more general forms or to extend the metric space to more general spaces, such as fuzzy metric spaces, b-metric spaces, extended b-metric spaces, G-metric space, and D-metric space, etc. Additionally, numerical algorithms for the reckoning of fixed points represent another important direction of development in this field, keeping in mind that most of the problems cannot be solved by analytical means.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish new findings in fixed point theory that will be useful to researchers in Applied Sciences. This Special Issue therefore welcomes submissions of research papers including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- New fixed points result in metric spaces.
- New fixed points result in fuzzy metric spaces.
- New fixed points result in serious spaces such as b-metric spaces and extended b-metric spaces, etc.
- The existence of solutions to differential equations and integral equations.
- Obtaining approximate solutions for engineering or economic models through fixed points by numerical methods.
- The computation of fixed points by new numerical schemes and performing their qualitative study.
- Generalizations of the concept of fixed point.

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.
