A Moment of Pause Following a Profound Loss

2025-06-13

With great sadness, we share the news that our friend and colleague Robert Woodrow, co-founder and Managing Editor of Contributions to Discrete Mathematics, passed away on June 10, 2025.

In light of this considerable loss, the journal’s functions are expected to slow down temporarily and acceptance of new submissions will be suspended during the transition period while we identify a suitable candidate to fill the role of Managing Editor. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

In particular, the following topics (2000 AMS classification numbers in parentheses):

  • Mathematical logic and universal algebra (03B, 03C, 08)
  • Applications of logic to algebra and computer science (03B, 03D, 03G)
  • Set theory (03E)
  • Designs (05B, 51E)
  • Sphere packings, coverings and arrangements (05B, 52C)
  • Geometric and algebraic combinatorics (05E)
  • Partially ordered sets and lattices (06A, 06B)
  • Diophantine approximation (11J)
  • Cryptography, especially algebraic and number theoretic methods (11T, 14G)
  • Computational number theory (11Y)
  • Linear and nonlinear equations in matrices and operators (15A, 47A, 47J)
  • Discrete geometry including the theory of polytopes and rigidity (32F, 52B, 52C)
  • Operator theory with discrete aspects (46N, 47A)
  • Combinatorial and finite geometry (51D, 51E)
  • Computational geometry including computational convexity (52B, 65D)
