Gene structure prediction is one of the most important problems in computational molecular biology. It involves two steps: the first is finding the evidence (e.g. predicting spl...
Abstract. We consider the problem of sorting linear and circular permutations and 0/1 sequences by reversals in a length-sensitive cost model. We extend the results on sorting by l...

We prove an optimal generalization of the centerpoint theorem: given a set P of n points in the plane, there exist two points (not necessarily among input points) that hit all con...
Multi-break rearrangements break a genome into multiple fragments and further glue them together in a new order. While 2-break rearrangements represent standard reversals, fusions...
Branch, cut, and price (BCP) is an LP-based branch and bound technique for solving large-scale discrete optimization problems (DOPs). In BCP, both cuts and variables can be generat...
