Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Asymptotic methods play an important role in the modern theory of differential equations, mathematical physics, and their applications in continuum mechanics, quantum mechanics, etc. One main aim of asymptotic methods is to provide descriptions and formulas that are sufficiently close to the exact ones and, at the same time, are efficient; that is, easy to analyze, interpret, and visualize. Of course, what is efficient and what is not depends on the tools available, and this is where modern technical computing systems like Wolfram Mathematica or MATLAB come in to make a breakthrough. With these systems, a combination of analytical and numerical approaches often works best, whereby, say, the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations of characteristics is used as an input for closed-form asymptotic expressions. This puts forward new challenges: new asymptotic formulas must be developed, and old ones must often be reworked with these computing systems in mind. This Special Issue intends to represent the state of the art in efficient asymptotics, mainly focusing on semiclassical (or geometric) asymptotics of rapidly varying solutions of wave and vortex type, boundary- and internal-layer asymptotics (including moving boundary layers), the adiabatic approximation, and asymptotics associated with homogenization (in spatial variables and in time).
Papers that employ the symmetry or asymmetry concept in their methodologies in the fields of Asymptotic Methods in the Theory of Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics are also welcomed.

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.
