Feature Paper in Algorithms and Complexity Theory

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topical Collection “Feature Papers in Analysis of Algorithms and Complexity Theory”, aims to collect high-quality research articles and review articles in the fields of complexity theory, polynomial approximation algorithms for NP-hard problems, exact algorithms for NP-hard problems, and exponential approximation algorithms for polynomial aproximation-hard problems.

Since the aim of this Topical Collection is to illustrate, through selected works, frontier research in complexity and approximation theory, we encourage researchers to contribute papers reflecting the latest progress in their research. Topics include, without being limited to:

  • Theory of algorithms;
  • Sorting and searching algorithms; 
  • Parameterized complexity; 
  • Polynomial, moderately exponential, parameterized approximation of NP-hard problems.

Prof. Dr. Vangelis Th. Paschos
Collection 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. Algorithms 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 1800 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
