Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graph theory and combinatorics study discrete structures and their properties. Graph theory focuses on graphs, which are composed of vertices and edges, analyzing connectivity and structural patterns. Combinatorics deals with the counting, arrangements and combinations of discrete objects. Together, these fields provide essential tools for solving problems across diverse disciplines such as computer science, biology and optimization by analyzing relationships and developing efficient algorithms. Recently, there has been significant research activity in both graph theory and combinatorics, spanning theoretical advancements and practical applications.
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue dedicated to graph theory and combinatorics. We invite the submissions of original research articles, reviews and innovative applications within these fields. Manuscripts offering novel insights, methodologies or applications that contribute to advancing the understanding and application of graph theory and combinatorics are welcome.

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. Axioms 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.
