Focus and Scope
DMTCS is a high standard peer-reviewed electronic journal devoted to rapid publication of innovative research which covers the fields of Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science and puts a certain emphasis on the intersection of these two fields.

Analysis of Algorithms
Analysis of algorithms is concerned with accurate estimates of complexity parameters of algorithms and aims at predicting the behaviour of a given algorithm run in a given environment. It develops general methods for obtaining closed-form formulae, asymptotic estimates, and probability distributions for combinatorial or probabilistic quantities, that are of interest in the optimization of algorithms. Interest is also placed on the methods themselves, whether combinatorial, probabilistic, or analytic. Combinatorial and statistical properties of discrete structures (strings, trees, tries, dags, graphs, and so on) as well as mathematical objects (e.g., continued fractions, polynomials, operators) that are relevant to the design of efficient algorithms are investigated.

Automata, Logic and Semantics
This section of DMTCS is devoted to publishing original research from several domains covered by Volume B of the Handbook of Theoretical Computer Science (Elsevier Publisher). Our scope is suggested by the following list of keywords: automata theory, automata-theoretic complexity, automatic program verification, combinatorics of words, coding theory, concurrency, data bases, formal languages, functional programming, logic in computer science, logic programming, program specification, rewriting, semantics of programming languages, theorem proving.

Graph Theory
This section of Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science seeks high quality articles on structural and algorithmic aspects of graphs and related discrete mathematical models. We particularly seek topics with an intersection between discrete mathematics and computer science. We handle submissions in all areas of finite graph theory.

Peer Review Process
Submissions to DMTCS undergo a scientific peer review process that is initiated and organized by an editor. The first stage of this review process is to decide whether or not the submission fits well into the scope of DMTCS and to estimate if there are chances for it to be accepted. The purpose of the reviewing process is then to eventually improve the submission, correct eventual flaws and come to a final decision of whether or not the manuscript is accepted for publication. The reviewing is done by anonymous referees, that provide their feedback to the authors and the editors via detailed reports. These reports must in particular clearly state the decision that is proposed and give the reasons for which the referee has come to her or his conclusion. For rejection a single but well justified report is sufficient. For acception two well justified reports or one report and a well founded opinion of the editor is necessary.
Publication Frequency
Author's manuscripts are published as soon as they have been accepted and are be available internationally via the Internet. Due to the combined efforts of our authors (who typeset their final document with our LaTeX style) and our volunteers (who do the final layout) the time between acceptance and final publication has a median below 2 weeks.
Open Access Policy
DMTCS is a community effort, run by volunteers. Therefore access to DMTCS is free of charge. Other than contributing your work (articles, reports, assistance), you may also contribute to our modest expences by making a donation.

Author Guidelines
- DMTCS covers Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science as domain of interest.
- DMTCS is a scientific journal. This requires that your work is
- original
- The main results of your paper must not have appeared elsewhere in a journal, neither by yourself nor by somebody else.
- There is no excuse for plagiarism, not even self-plagiarism. We have a good record in tracking such things down, be warned.
- important
- Your results must be of importance to a wider public and should be of interest for more readers than just the referees.
- self contained
- Other than for conference proceedings, we don't have any restrictions on the number of pages for an article. So there is no excuse to suppress proofs or not to give verbose examples. On the other hand, self contained short notes are highly welcome.
- complete
- Your work must relate to the current state of the art of the domain in question. In particular, foreign and own results external to the manuscript must be correctly credited and complete reference to such related work must be given.
- legible
- The journal's language is English, all conventions for scientific work in that language apply.
- correct
- Your work must be mathematical correct and its quality of writing must be such that the referees will agree upon this fact.
- Your writing must be grammatically correct. Be ensured, that especially authors that are non-native speakers of English will receive all possible help to correct flaws. But also have in mind, that incorrect grammar might be the cause of severe misunderstandings and finally result in a rejection of the paper.
- DMTCS is
- no
- circular letter, and
- no
- preprint server.
If you are looking for that, please consider the wide possibilities that the web offers nowadays.
Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
- The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
- The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
- The submission is in PostScript or PDF format
- If a submission is accepted, authors must provide the sources of the article in LaTeX format suitable to be processed with the journals style file. Hints for preparing a document suitable for that style can be found at http://www.dmtcs.org/sample/.
