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 2023, which took place in Huatulco, Mexico, on September 18-22, 2023. 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, and 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.
