Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the great success of our Special Issue "Fuzzy Set Theory and Uncertainty Theory", we decided to set up a second volume.
Fuzzy set theory was initiated by Prof. Zadeh in the early 1960s. It is a fundamental approach that can deal with problems relating to ambiguous, subjective, and imprecise judgments. Compared with probability theory, fuzzy set theory has a unique adaptation for the quantification in the linguistic facet of available data and preferences for individual or group decision making. Further, uncertainty theory, which was presented by Prof. Baoding Liu in the early twenty-one century, is a new branch of mathematics based on normality, monotonicity, self-duality, and countable subadditivity axioms. The outstanding advantages of uncertainty theory in the general properties of uncertain variables have gradually increased its acceptance and led to further studies conducted by worldwide researchers.
To date, both fuzzy sets theory and uncertainty theory have been studied widely and in depth both in theory and applications by worldwide researchers. The purpose of this Special Issue is to gather a collection of articles on the latest research and developments in this field of research. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Knowledge representation;
- Information content measures;
- Extensions and generalizations of fuzzy sets;
- Multifold uncertainty and its arithmetic;
- Aggregation operations;
- Reasoning under uncertainty;
- Preference modeling and multicriteria evaluation;
- Fuzzy multiobjective and bi-level programming;
- Uncertain multiobjective optimization.
The research direction of all manuscripts must be within the scope of the Symmetry journal.

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.
