Symmetric and asymmetric data in solution models

Abstract

This Special Issue is intended to cover symmetric and asymmetric data occurring in real-life problems. Symmetry and structural regularity are essential concepts in many natural and man-made objects and play a crucial role in problem solutions. While the complexity and risks inherent in problem solution models, along with different indicators of success and failure, may contribute to the difficulties in their performance evaluation, multiple solutions generally exist. The existence of data asymmetry also causes difficulties when achieving an optimal solution. Therefore, various solution models can be proposed as an integrated tool to find a balance between components of sustainable global development, i.e., to find a symmetry axe with respect to goals, risks, and constraints to cope with complicated problems. We invite authors to submit their theoretical or experimental research presenting engineering and other problem solution models dealing with symmetry and asymmetry of different types of data.
