We derive a branch-and-bound algorithm to find an optimal inversion median of three signed permutations. The algorithm prunes to manageable size an extremely large search tree usi...
The Blob Code is a bijective tree code that represents each tree on n labelled vertices as a string of n − 2 vertex labels. In recent years, several researchers have deployed th...
A simple 2-matching in a graph is a subgraph all of whose nodes have degree 1 or 2. A simple 2-matching is called k-restricted if every connected component has > k edges. We co...
The hypergraph matching problem is to find a largest collection of disjoint hyperedges in a hypergraph. This is a well-studied problem in combinatorial optimization and graph theo...
We focus on the combinatorial analysis of physical mapping with repeated probes. We present computational complexity results, and we describe and analyze an algorithmic strategy. W...
