The complexity of choosing an H-colouring (nearly) uniformly at random
Cooper, Dyer and Frieze studied the problem of sampling H-colourings (nearly) uniformly at random. Special cases of this problem include sampling colourings and independent sets a...

Learning Interpretable SVMs for Biological Sequence Classification
Background: Support Vector Machines (SVMs) ? using a variety of string kernels ? have been successfully applied to biological sequence classification problems. While SVMs achieve ...

Intractability of Assembly Sequencing: Unit Disks in the Plane
We consider the problem of removing a given disk from a collection of unit disks in the plane. At each step, we allow a disk to be removed by a collision-free translation to infin...

Closest 4-leaf power is fixed-parameter tractable
The NP-complete Closest 4-Leaf Power problem asks, given an undirected graph, whether it can be modified by at most r edge insertions or deletions such that it becomes a 4-leaf po...

The average-case complexity of counting distinct elements
We continue the study of approximating the number of distinct elements in a data stream of length n to within a (1? ) factor. It is known that if the stream may consist of arbitra...
