Combinatorial and Algebraic Structures in Words

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce our call for papers for the Special Issue on "Combinatorial and Algebraic Structures in Words" published in the MDPI journal Mathematics. The field of combinatorics comprises the study of mathematical properties of finite sequences of symbols, also known as words. The study of structures in words has been an active research area for several decades, and it has led to the discovery of many intriguing patterns and relationships in sequences of symbols.

This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for researchers to present their latest research on the mathematical structures that can be found in words. Topics of interest include but are not limited to, the analysis of regular structures such as squares or palindromes, compression sensitivity, and algorithms for finding structures in strings. We welcome contributions that offer new insights into these structures and their properties, as well as those that explore the connections between these structures and other areas of discrete one-dimensional mathematics.

We encourage submissions that present original research articles, surveys, or reviews that provide a mathematical perspective on the study of structures in words. All submitted papers will be subject to a rigorous peer-review process, ensuring the highest quality of the research presented. We believe that this Special Issue will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers to share their latest findings and will promote discussion and collaboration in this exciting field of research.

We invite you to submit your research to this Special Issue and share your insights and contributions to the study of structures in words. Thank you for your interest! We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Dr. Dominik Köppl
Guest Editor

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
