Efficient Exact and Approximate Algorithms for the Complement of Maximal Strip Recovery
Given two genomic maps G and H represented by a sequence of n gene markers, a strip (syntenic block) is a sequence of distinct markers of length at least two which appear as subseq...

Improved bounds on sorting by length-weighted reversals
We study the problem of sorting binary sequences and permutations by length-weighted reversals. We consider a wide class of cost functions, namely f( ) = for all 0, where is the...

Online point location in planar arrangements and its applications
Recently, Har-Peled [HP99b] presented a new randomized technique for online construction of the zone of a curve in a planar arrangement of arcs. In this paper, we present several ...
