Dear Colleagues,

Study of rogue waves has assisted many people not only to better understand natural phenomena but also to progress in the knowledge of nonlinear waves in general. The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation and its exact analytical solutions have been used as a mathematical model and for prototypes of rogue waves, also known as freak or extreme waves. Although the family of solitons on nonvanishing backgrounds was discovered in the 1970s and 1980s, it was not until the 2010s that experimental observations confirmed those theoretical predictions. In this Special Issue of Symmetry, we seek contributions from researchers on the topic of Symmetry in Rogue Waves. All types of contribution are welcome, including modeling, mathematical, physical, numerical, statistical, and experimental.

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.
