Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rota–Baxter algebra has its origin in the work of G. Baxter, likely around 1960, and was studied by Atkinson, Cartier and Rota in its early years. Independently, Rota–Baxter Lie algebra appeared as the operator form of the classical Yang–Baxter equation. The subject experienced a remarkable renaissance into this century, thanks to its roles in combinatorics, number theory and mathematical physics. Its more recent studies have touched upon even broader areas of research as illustrated below.
You are invited to contribute to the Special Issue on “Rota–Baxter Algebras and Related Topics” of MDPI Mathematics. For further information of the journal, see

where the journal, even if very new, is listed in quartile 2 in Mathematics since 2020 with an SJR score of 0.495. This puts the journal at about the same level as Canadian Mathematical Bulletin (0.522), Frontiers of Mathematics in China (0.482), Glasgow Mathematical Journal (0.482) and Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society (0.479).
This Special Issue welcomes contributions on Rota–Baxter algebras and related topics. Due to the connections of Rota–Baxter algebras with broad areas in mathematics and mathematical physics, topics covered by the Special Issue include, but are not limited to,
- Yang–Baxter equations,
- Algebraic Combinatorics
- Renormalization issues in physics and mathematics
- O-operators (aka relative Rota–Baxter operators), and multi-operator structures
- Multiple zeta values
- Computational aspects such as Groebner–Shirshov bases
- Other algebraic operators such as differential, Nijenhuis, averaging and Reynolds operators
- Rota–Baxter related operators on other structures, such as Hom-structures, groups, Hopf algebras and lattices
- Representation theoretic aspect
- Categorical, operadic and universal algebra aspects

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.
