Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Connections between algebraic structure theory and graph theory have been established in order to solve some open problems in one theory with the help of the tools existing in the other, to emphasize the remarkable properties of one theory with techniques involving the second, providing new methods for solving some problems. One very well-known example in this direction is the contribution of Artur Cayley, who defined the concept of a group in 1854 (the composition table of the operation on the group takes his name—i.e., the Cayley table) and described in 1878 the structure of a group by a special graph, called a Cayley graph. There are many ways to define an algebraic structure (as a group, ring, hypergroup, lattice, etc.), starting from a graph.
This Special Issue accepts original and high-level contributions, where a connection between algebraic structures and graph theory is clearly presented. New theoretical aspects as well as practical applications representing current research directions on this topic are welcome. We also invite authors to submit high-quality review papers on the aforementioned topic.

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
