Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that partial differential equations (PDEs) play a fundamental role in modelling and solving practical problems in a wide range of fields. This is accomplished either by theoretically studying a PDE and obtaining information on the qualitative characteristics of its solution or by obtaining an exact, approximate or numerical solution for it. In both cases, conservation laws and the symmetric properties of the PDE under consideration often prove to be extremely useful. Symmetry may also be taken into consideration with respect to the domain geometry or the boundary conditions that accompany a PDE. Moreover, studying the symmetry or asymmetry of a PDE and its solution may provide further insight into the application that this PDE describes.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to collect a variety of papers on nonlinear partial differential equations in which the concepts of symmetry/asymmetry are utilised or studied. All types of methods (theoretical, approximate and numerical) are welcome.

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.
