A caterpillar is a tree in which all vertices of degree three or more lie on one path, called the backbone. We present a polynomial time algorithm that produces a linear arrangeme...
Abstract. Comparing gene orders in completely sequenced genomes is a standard approach to locate clusters of functionally associated genes. Often, gene orders are modeled as permut...
Partial words, which are sequences that may have some undefined positions called holes, can be viewed as sequences over an extended alphabet A = A ∪ { }, where stands for a hol...
Let LN+1 be a linear differential operator of order N + 1 with constant coefficients and real eigenvalues 1, . . . , N+1, let E( N+1) be the space of all C∞-solutions of LN+1 o...
We survey our current knowledge of circuit complexity of regular languages and we prove that regular languages that are in AC0 and ACC0 are all computable by almost linear size ci...
