Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of our Special Issue, titled “Singular Distributions with Special Structures and Symmetries”, is to bring together outstanding theoretical contributions to singular geometric distributions, adapting special structures and symmetries from various mathematical and physical research areas, but with real-world applications. Some of the topics of interest include:
- Special structures specific to all mathematical or physical areas, which can offer outstanding examples to motivate general notions. They have specific symmetries that sometimes determine their theoretical force;
- Singular geometric distributions, which are involved in many concrete applications, mostly in mechanics and control, but also elsewhere;
- Lagrangians and Hamiltonians, whose use is adapted to singular geometric distributions, such as singular foliations, and which can be performed as in some classical cases;
- The anchored approach used for singular geometric distributions, which can provide general structures and symmetries in an analogous way to classical cases;
- Classical generalizations using different types of algebroids or groupoids, which can be transferred to the study of singular structures and symmetries using classical methods for regular structures.
Our belief is that certain methods of discretization, such that the Veselov type of tangent spaces, can be extended to more general cases. The investigation of their properties, including symmetries, is therefore of extreme importance.

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.
