Discrete Applied Mathematics
Special Issue:
LAGOS’13 VII Latin-American Algorithms, Graphs, and Optimization
Symposium, Playa del Carmen – 2013
Following the tradition of LAGOS, a special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics will be prepared for LAGOS2013. All interested researchers are invited to contribute to this special issue. The topics should relate to the themes of the workshop:
•Algorithms: analysis of algorithms; approximation algorithms; randomized algorithms; computational geometry
• Operations Research and Mathematical Programming: combinatorial optimization;
integer programming; polyhedral combinatorics; operations research and management science
• Graph Theory: cliques, dominating and independent sets; coloring of graphs and
hypergraphs; covering and packing, factorization, matching; digraphs, tournaments;
graph algorithms; graphs and matrices; hypergraphs; perfect graphs; random graphs;
structural characterization of types of graphs
• Applications: mathematical programming; combinatorial optimization; continuous
optimization; heuristics, and metaheuristics; applications to real-world problems
Submissions of contributions not presented at the symposium are also welcome. If your contribution was indeed presented at the symposium, the full version articles should differ substantially from the extended abstract published in ENDM (for example, proofs of the results, further results, etc. can be added).
All articles will be thoroughly refereed according to the high standards of Discrete Applied Mathematics.
The full papers must be submitted through the Elsevier Editorial System
(http://ees.elsevier.com/dam/) using the guidelines for Discrete Applied Mathematics (http://www.elsevier.com/journals/discrete-applied-mathematics/0166-218X/guide-for-authors). When submitting your paper, be sure to select the article type Special Issue: LAGOS2013.
The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2013.
Accepted papers will be published online individually, before print publication.
We are looking forward to receiving your contribution.
