Ars Mathematica Contemporanea (AMC) is a diamond (platinum) open access journal in which neither the authors nor the readers incur any costs. The aim of AMC is to publish peer-reviewed high-quality articles in contemporary mathematics that arise from the discrete and concrete mathematics paradigm. It favors themes that combine at least two different fields of mathematics. In particular, papers intersecting discrete mathematics with other branches of mathematics, such as algebra, geometry, topology, theoretical computer science, and combinatorics, are most welcome. Copyright and Open Access All contributions to the journal are subject to Diamond Open Access, with no costs for authors and no costs for readers. The authors retain the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) for their work. In case of reuse, the original article must be properly cited. There is no restriction on the prepublication of submitted papers in repositories, such as arXiv or departmental websites. Authors may deposit all versions of their article, including the submitted and accepted versions, without embargo, provided they include the URL of the original article. Authorship Policy Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the submission. All individuals who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research should be acknowledged. Authors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of their work. All authors should agree to the submission of the manuscript and take responsibility for its content. Corrections Policy The authors are responsible for informing the journal of any errors they discover in their work, and the editorial board is responsible for making necessary corrections to ensure the integrity of the published literature. Publishing Malpractice and Retractions Policy All parties involved in the publication process (editors, authors, reviewers) must abide by ethical standards to avoid malpractice. The journal will investigate all allegations of publication malpractice. Retractions will be issued if there is clear evidence that the findings are unreliable due to misconduct (e.g., data fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, duplicate publication) or honest error (e.g., miscalculation, flawed proof etc). The decision to retract an article will be made by the editorial board
