Predicting the secondary structure of an RNA sequence is an important problem in structural bioinformatics. The general RNA folding problem, where the sequence to be folded may con...
: A well-known result of Tutte states that a 3-connected graph G is planar if and only if every edge of G is contained in exactly two induced non-separating circuits. Bixby and Cun...
In this paper we approach the problem of computing the characteristic polynomial of a matrix from the combinatorial viewpoint. We present several combinatorial characterizations of...
: Gavril [GA4] defined two new families of intersection graphs: the interval-filament graphs and the subtree-filament graphs. The complements of intervalfilament graphs are the coi...
Motivated by issues in machine learning and statistical pattern classification, we investigate a class cover problem (CCP) with an associated family of directed graphs--class cove...
