A fork stack is a generalised stack which allows pushes and pops of several items at a time. We consider the problem of determining which input streams can be sorted using a singl...
This note contains two results on the distribution of k-crossings and k-nestings in graphs. On the positive side, we exhibit a class of graphs for which there are as many k-noncro...
A sequence of reversals that takes a signed permutation to the identity is perfect if it preserves all common intervals between the permutation and the identity. The problem of com...
Abstract. We present bijections between four classes of combinatorial objects. Two of them, the class of unlabeled (2 + 2)-free posets and a certain class of involutions (or chord ...
The problem of sorting a signed permutation by reversals is inspired by genome rearrangements in computational molecular biology. Given two genomes represented as two signed permut...
