Labelings, Colorings and Distances in Graphs

Dear Colleagues,

Some of the central topics in graph theory are that of graph labeling and graph coloring. The graph labeling/coloring problem involves assigning labels/colors to certain set of graph elements subject to certain restrictions and constraints. Both graph labelings and graph colorings can be used to solve a wide variety of problems in real world, as well as theoretical challenges.

The distance between two vertices, i.e., the length of a shortest path between these vertices, is the basis of the definition of many graph parameters including metric dimension. The metric dimension and its variants have appeared in various applications of graph theory.

Please note that all submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Symmetry journal.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Symmetry 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.
