Discrete Applied Mathematics
Special Issue: LAGOS 2025 — XIII Latin American Algorithms, Graphs, and
Optimization Symposium — Buenos Aires, Argentina
Submission deadline: 31 May 2026
Following the tradition of the Latin American Algorithms, Graphs, and
Optimization Symposia (LAGOS), a special issue of Discrete Applied
Mathematics will be dedicated to LAGOS 2025, held in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, from November 10–14, 2025 (http://lagos.mat.br/lagos2025/). All
interested researchers are invited to contribute to this special issue.
Manuscript submission information:
The topics should relate to the themes of the conference:
* Algorithms and Complexity: algorithms and computational complexity;
approximation algorithms; randomized algorithms; parameterized complexity.
* Operations Research and Mathematical Programming: combinatorial
optimization; integer programming; operations research; management science.
* Graph Theory: structural graph theory; graph algorithms; extremal graph
theory; spectral graph theory; probabilistic graph theory.
* Combinatorial Geometry: discrete geometry; convex geometry; polyhedral
combinatorics; computational geometry.
* Applications to Real-world Problems: mathematical programming;
combinatorial optimization; continuous optimization; heuristics;
metaheuristics.
Submissions of contributions not presented at the symposium are also
welcome. If your contribution was presented at the symposium, the full
version article should differ substantially from the extended abstract
published in Procedia Computer Science (e.g., 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.
