Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Different types of nonlinear equations including symmetrical and asymmetrical ordinary differential equations (ODEs), partial differential equations (PDEs), fractional differential equations, stochastic equations, integral and integrodifferential equations, etc., usually model most real-life problems, especially the propagation of symmetrical and asymmetrical nonlinear waves and oscillations in different plasma models. All the aforementioned equations are useful tools for modeling and describing the natural (a)symmetrical (non)linear phenomena that arise in different plasma models. Due to the importance of these applications, great success has been achieved by the differential and integral equations in clarifying and interpreting the ambiguity of many complex systems, which prompted many authors to look for different analytical and numerical methods for solving such models. In particular, there are a large number of differential equations such as a nonlinear Schrödinger-type equation, a family of Korteweg–de Vries-type equations, Duffing-type equations, etc., that succeeded in modeling and describing both symmetrical and asymmetrical nonlinear structures including solitary waves, shock waves, peakons, compactons, freak waves, and many nonlinear oscillations that arise in different plasma models. There is still a mystery about many symmetric and asymmetric nonlinear phenomena that arise and propagate within the plasma medium that need careful modeling in order to arrive at clear explanations for many laboratory results and satellite observations.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to attract leading researchers in the field of dynamics, quantum mechanics, astrophysics and space sciences, plasma physics, and neuroscience including theoretical physicists and applied mathematicians, and to allow them to publish their original papers in this issue after being reviewed.

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.
