Tight Approximability Results for Test Set Problems in Bioinformatics
In this paper, we investigate the test set problem and its variations that appear in a variety of applications. In general, we are given a universe of objects to be “distinguish...

Testing Geometric Convexity
We consider the problem of determining whether a given set S in Rn is approximately convex, i.e., if there is a convex set K ∈ Rn such that the volume of their symmetric differe...

Exact Distribution of Deletion Sizes for Unavoidable Strings
We constructively prove the exact distribution of deletion sizes for unavoidable strings, under the reductive decidability method of Zimin and Bean et al. Bounds such as these on ...
