Abstract. Gene trees are leaf-labeled trees inferred from molecular sequences. Due to duplication events arising in genome evolution, gene trees usually have multiple copies of som...
We consider four problems on distance estimation and object location which share the common flavor of capturing global information via informative node labels: low-stretch routin...
Pseudo-likelihood and contrastive divergence are two well-known examples of contrastive methods. These algorithms trade off the probability of the correct label with the probabili...
The distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G is the least integer d such that G has a labeling with d labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. We prove that Cartesi...
In the game of Penney Ante two players take turns publicly selecting two distinct words of length n using letters from an alphabet of size q. They roll a fair q sided die having ...
