Approximation of Convex Figures by Pairs of Rectangles
We consider the problem of approximating a convex gure in the plane by a pair (r; R) of homothetic (that is, similar and parallel) rectangles with r C R. We show the existenc...

The Metropolized Partial Importance Sampling MCMC Mixes Slowly on Minimum Reversal Rearrangement Paths
Markov chain Monte Carlo has been the standard technique for inferring the posterior distribution of genome rearrangement scenarios under a Bayesian approach. We present here a neg...
