To that end, we have created a new page to list informal interpretations that no longer represent the position of the PNO. Many HSR practitioners have requested that we announce when an Informal Interpretation has been superseded in whole or in part. Please check out this important BC blog post, Resuming early termination of HSR reviews.We have deleted out of date information and provided additional guidance for clarity. 04-03-20 UPDATE: Please carefully review the updated Guidance for Filing Parties.The Filing Fee Information and Current Thresholds pages have been updated with the 2019 HSR thresholds. The PNO has been having technical difficulties opening documents with very long names. For example, instead of naming a document “4c-1 September 2019 Confidential Information Presentation Project Persephone”, a shorter name like “4c-1 September 2019 CIM” works better. 04-15-20 UPDATE: When you are naming the PDF documents for submission via the e-filing system, please keep the file names descriptive, but short.

The Guidance for Filing Parties page has been updated with this and other new information. Please note that when e-filing, parties may submit either a scanned PDF copy of the hard copy signature pages or PDFs with an e-signature. The PNO will issue further instructions on signature pages when the crisis is over. Effective immediately, please hold on to hard copy originals do not send them in. Prior guidance asked parties to mail the originals to the PNO. 04-29-20 UPDATE : The PNO is updating its policy on the handling of original signature pages when submitting an HSR filing.With all the changes to procedures to accommodate e-filing and PNO telework, we thought this would be a good time to remind filers how to avoid unnecessary delays due to HSR fee issues. The PNO has a new blog post with reminders and tips for successfully submitting HSR filings fees.06-22-20 UPDATE : We have edited the Guidance for Filing Parties to clarify the use of e-signatures on the Certification and Affidavit.In the revised guidance, we provide instructions for requesting multiple links and submitting the filing documents in multiple uploads. We have found that handling more than fifty documents at a time is problematic for our system. 07-07-20 UPDATE : We have amended the Guidance for Filing Parties to provide additional instruction when filers are uploading a large number of documents for an HSR filing.In that case, the links have been rerouted to the most recent version of that document or page.

Such issues are fully refereed and adhere to the normal high standards of the journal.

The Perspectives section features expository articles accessible to a broad audience that cast new light or present unifying points of view on well-known or insufficiently-known topics.ĭiscrete Mathematics also publishes occasional Special Issues containing selected papers. Efforts are made to process the submission of Notes (short articles) quickly. Items in the journal include research articles (Contributions or Notes, depending on length) and survey/expository articles (Perspectives). Also, papers focused primarily on applied problems or experimental results fall outside our scope. It also does not publish articles that are principally focused on linear algebra, abstract algebraic structures, or fuzzy sets unless they are highly related to one of the main areas of interest. The research areas covered by Discrete Mathematics include graph and hypergraph theory, enumeration, coding theory, block designs, the combinatorics of partially ordered sets, extremal set theory, matroid theory, algebraic combinatorics, discrete geometry, matrices, discrete probability, and parts of cryptography.ĭiscrete Mathematics generally does not include research on dynamical systems, differential equations, or discrete Laplacian operators within its scope. Discrete Mathematics provides a common forum for significant research in many areas of discrete mathematics and combinatorics.
