Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics

Dear Colleagues,

It is well known that modern Mathematics naturally combines classical and new fields. Number Theory certainly represents the classical Mathematics. Discrete Analysis is a part of the modern Mathematics. At the same time, we can obtain very interesting results by studying problems at the border of Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics. Consider, for example, the Theory of Special Numbers. On the one hand, the numerical nature of these objects indicates their belonging to the Number Theory. On the other hand, the structure of these sets, the methods of their research, the problems in which they arise, often have a discrete character. Thus, the study of Stirling numbers, Catalan numbers, Bernoulli numbers etc. contributes to both classical Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics. For our special issue, we are looking for articles on classical problems of Number Theory and modern problems of Discrete Analysis. But the most interesting for us are articles containing solutions of problems combining these two areas of Mathematical Science.

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.
