Complexity of Approximating Closest Substring Problems
The closest substring problem, where a short string is sought that minimizes the number of mismatches between it and each of a given set of strings, is a minimization problem with ...

On the Complexity of Finding Emerging Patterns
Emerging patterns have been studied as a useful type of pattern for the diagnosis and understanding of diseases based on the analysis of gene expression profiles. They are useful ...

On cooperative patrolling: optimal trajectories, complexity analysis, and approximation algorithms
—The subject of this work is the patrolling of an environment with the aid of a team of autonomous agents. We consider both the design of open-loop trajectories with optimal prop...

Approximation and Complexity of k-Splittable Flows
Given a graph with a source and a sink node, the NP–hard maximum k–splittable flow (MkSF) problem is to find a flow of maximum value with a flow decomposition using at most...

The Complexity of Maximum Matroid-Greedoid Intersection
Abstract. The maximum intersection problem for a matroid and a greedoid, given by polynomial-time oracles, is shown NP-hard by expressing the satisfiability of boolean formulas in...
