Dynamical Processes in Heterogeneous and Discrete Media

Dear Colleagues, 

This Special Issue of Symmetry is dedicated to the development of new methods for modeling linear and nonlinear waves in composite materials and finding solutions that would allow taking into account the influence of the internal structure of the medium on the processes of wave propagation at the macro level. This problem is of fundamental importance both for theorists and for engineers. We hope this Issue will help theorists to find new tasks and areas of application of their knowledge, and engineers to find new methods for their practice.

This Special Issue of Symmetry invites research and review papers on various fields of theoretical physics and applied mathematics, including classical and quantum mechanics, as well as mechanics of fluids and solids. Wave processes in ecology, biology,  and economics are also within the scope of this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
