Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optimization methods are widely used to solve engineering problems. For example, engineering problems can be converted into multi-objective optimization problems, computer models can be solved or identified using optimization methods, and optimization methods can be used to construct deep neural networks. Practical engineering problems are often based on nonlinear data or models. Nonlinear models usually exhibit symmetry, non-convexity, and multiple equivalent solutions. The optimization problem is the rational collocation and organic combination of mathematical knowledge, information, and thinking methods. Generally, simple methods (such as gradient descent) perform very well in practice. Therefore, mining the symmetry relationship and structure in the nonlinear model can help to propose simple and effective optimization methods, and can help to select appropriate optimization methods for specific engineering problems.

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.
