Partial words, which are sequences that may have some undefined positions called holes, can be viewed as sequences over an extended alphabet A = A ∪ { }, where stands for a hol...
We relate the notion of matroid pathwidth to the minimum trellis state-complexity (which we term trellis-width) of a linear code, and to the pathwidth of a graph. By reducing from ...
Abstract. The phylogenetic tree construction is to infer the evolutionary relationship between species from the experimental data. However, the experimental data are often imperfec...
We describe three applications in computational learning theory of techniques and ideas recently introduced in the study of parameterized computational complexity. (1) Using param...

We give tight bounds on the parallel complexity of some problems involving random graphs. Speci cally, we show that a Hamiltonian cycle, a breadth rst spanning tree, and a maximal...
