Special issue of JACO
Submission deadline: December 31, 2025
A special issue of the Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics will be dedicated to Paul Terwilliger in honor of his 70th birthday and in recognition of his many significant contributions to mathematical research. Professor Terwilliger’s exceptional body of work has touched many areas, including distance-regular graphs, association schemes, Leonard systems, tridiagonal pairs, and the q-Onsager algebra and its relationship to mathematical physics, among others.
This special issue seeks high-quality papers that intersect with areas of Professor Terwilliger’s work, with an emphasis on combinatorics. Research articles that will be presented at the Combinatorics around the q-Onsager Algebra Conference held June 23-28, 2025 in Slovenia are especially encouraged. The submissions will be fully refereed according to the standards of the journal.
The guest editors for this special issue are Sarah Bockting-Conrad (DePaul University), John Caughman (Portland State University), Tatsuro Ito (Anhui University), Jack Koolen (University of Science and Technology of China), and Luc Vinet (University of Montreal).
Authors should submit their work to the Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics via the online platform. We will link to this platform when it is available.
