Background: Frameshift mutations in protein-coding DNA sequences produce a drastic change in the resulting protein sequence, which prevents classic protein alignment methods from ...
We introduce k-star-shaped polygons, polygons for which there exists at least one point x such that for any point y of the polygon, segment xy crosses the polygon's boundary ...
We present in this paper a simple yet e cient algorithm for stabbing a set S of n axisparallel boxes in d-dimensional space with c(S) points in output-sensitive time O(dn log c(S)...
The no-three-in-line problem, introduced by Dudeney in 1917, asks for the maximum number of points in the n × n grid with no three points collinear. In 1951, Erd¨os proved that t...
A 4-graph is odd if its vertex set can be partitioned into two sets so that every edge intersects both parts in an odd number of points. Let b(n) = max n 3 + (n - ) 3 = 1 2 + o...
