A Three-String Approach to the Closest String Problem
Given a set of n strings of length L and a radius d, the closest string problem (CSP for short) asks for a string tsol that is within a Hamming distance of d to each of the given ...

Parameterized Graph Editing with Chosen Vertex Degrees
We study the parameterized complexity of the following problem: is it possible to make a given graph r-regular by applying at most k elementary editing operations; the operations a...

Randomized algorithms for tracking distributed count, frequencies, and ranks
We show that randomization can lead to significant improvements for a few fundamental problems in distributed tracking. Our basis is the count-tracking problem, where there are k...

Variable discrimination of crossover versus mutation using parameterized modular structure
Recent work has provided functions that can be used to prove a principled distinction between the capabilities of mutation-based and crossover-based algorithms. However, prior fun...

Parameterizing Cut Sets in a Graph by the Number of Their Components
For a connected graph G = (V, E), a subset U ⊆ V is called a k-cut if U disconnects G, and the subgraph induced by U contains exactly k (≥ 1) components. More specifically, a ...
