## Aims and scope

The North-Western European Journal of Mathematics publishes research articles and surveys in all areas of pure and applied mathematics including history of mathematics. Articles can be submitted in Dutch, English, French or German.

## Policies

### Peer Review Process

The authors are asked to provide the names of one or two potential associate editors who will manage their article. Then, the editor in chief assigns the article to an associate editor who seeks reviewer(s). Once the reviews are available, the associate editor reports his decision to the whole editorial board which takes the final decision regarding the acceptance of the article.

### Open Access Policy

No charges are levied on authors. Articles are freely available to anyone as soon they are accepted. Hard copies of a volume are available at the cost of the paper and delivery.

Authors keep their copyrights. Thus they can reuse figures, article parts or any material they need for subsequent work. The contract license is the Creative Commons License CC-BY which is the most flexible contract maximising the readership on publication.

## Author Guidelines

Articles submission: At the initial stage, the authors have only to provide a file in the pdf format. Only when the article is accepted or subject to minor revisions are they asked to ensure it complies with the journal format.

LaTeX details:

• LaTeX class: We strongly encourage the authors to prepare their article to appear in the NWEJM journal with the dedicated nwejmart' LaTeX class (currently, documented only in French), available with up to date MiKTeX 2.9 and TeX Live 2016 distributions.
• Incompatibilities:>
• Our production system is not compatible with the xypic' bundle. For commutative diagramms, please use instead the user-friendly and modern tikz-cd' package.
• We much more prefer graphics not created with PSTricks' and derived. Consider using PGF'/TikZ' or derived packages. In case you really need one of these packages, please contact us.
• Bibliography: The bibliography must be provided as a .bib' file in the format of the biblatex' package.
• Figures: The figures must be provided in PDF or EPS formats.

Here you can find an example of a LaTEX and a biblatex file. The template and the documentation (for the time being only in French). For the time being, articles should be sent by mail to the managing editor (nicolas.wickerNOSPAMATuniv-lille1.fr) or you can submit them online.

## Current Volume:

The current volume is the volume of 2017.
• We consider a multidimensional SDE with a Gaussian noise and a drift vector being a vector function of bounded variation. We prove the existence of generalized derivative of the solution with respect to the initial conditions and represent the derivative as a solution of a linear SDE with coefficients depending on the initial process. The obtained representation is a natural generalization of the expression for the derivative in the smooth case. In the proof we use the results on continuous additive functionals.
• We study the structure of the space of coarse Lipschitz maps between Banach spaces. In particular we introduce the notion of norm attaining coarse Lipschitz maps. We extend to the case of norm attaining coarse Lipschitz equivalences, a result of G. Godefroy on Lipschitz equivalences. This leads us to include the non separable versions of classical results on the stability of the existence of asymptotically uniformly smooth norms under Lipschitz or coarse Lipschitz equivalences.

## Supports

The department of Mathematics of Lille 1 provides financial support which ensures that this journal stays open access. The French Mathematical Society (SMF), the Dutch Mathematical Society (KWG), the Luxembourg Mathematical Society (SML) and the Fields Institute support this project, of a mathematics journal by a non-profit publisher, making research available free of charge for readers and authors.
