Sub-coloring and Hypo-coloring Interval Graphs
In this paper, we study the sub-coloring and hypo-coloring problems on interval graphs. These problems have applications in job scheduling and distributed computing and can be used...

Finding shortest non-trivial cycles in directed graphs on surfaces
Let D be a weighted directed graph cellularly embedded in a surface of genus g, orientable or not, possibly with boundary. We describe algorithms to compute a shortest non-contrac...

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...

New decoding algorithms for Hidden Markov Models using distance measures on labellings
Background: Existing hidden Markov model decoding algorithms do not focus on approximately identifying the sequence feature boundaries. Results: We give a set of algorithms to com...

Set Covering with our Eyes Closed
Given a universe U of n elements and a weighted collection S of m subsets of U, the universal set cover problem is to a-priori map each element u ∈ U to a set S(u) ∈ S contain...
