Motivation: Very fast review process, although, 1 reviewer left the process delaying it for 2 weeks. A new reviewer was found very fast so the process could continue. Paper was improved based on the review-reports.

Motivation: This was really a remarkable experience. The received reviews were of high quality and helped to improve the paper. In particular, incorporating reviewers' remarks has required to change the structure of the paper, which has made it more readable. The whole publication process was unexpectedly fast for a mathematical paper.
